World Market sells the sticky toffee pudding in 2 packs. It’s in the same shipping center as TJs in Rockville

Their flour tortillas are quite good for store bought (the "handmade" ones with the blue label).

Overall their frozen Indian meals are pretty good; the Thai ones not so much.

The family size organic cheese and tomato pizza is really good, if you like a thin crust pizza.

I will never forgive them for discontinuing Island Soyaki. We used it all the time.

Ugh I just got home from TJs (I’m an occasional shopper) and wish I had this list with me. I got the Kringle- that I know about and love.

There was an article in the WSJ (sorry paywall) about people hoarding the best TJs products leaving a lot of empty shelves. We like a lot of their stuff.
