I don't love lemon but the TJ frozen lemon bars are GREAT.

This is why I have learned to bake, even though I don't really have the time and energy. And it isn't even that I'm grossed out by the idea of all this stuff, it's that I can very much taste the difference.

They are full of preservatives -- if you buy them on Mon they will taste the same on Thursday. Which, in my opinion, is not great. But that is the answer.

Agree. Costco stuff is disgusting.

Definitely go with TJ. They have a lot of great things in the frozen dessert section. The cranberry pie/tart and lie lime pie are both wonderful. I also would suggest the Kringle. Those are to die for. Maybe it’s a breakfast pastry technically, but it definitely tastes like dessert

Trader Joe's coffee ice cream is delicious. Might be a good complement to pumpkin pie instead of vanilla.

Costco’s pecan pie is good.

I sampled this last week and immediately put it in my cart. I don't like pumpkin pie and this is a yummy alternative.
