I shop at Trader Joes about once a week. There are so many products I love, mainly becaus they are delicious and very affordable. I really like the pizza crust, so I can make my own pizza at home. I also love the organic jasmine rice I get there, the organic (and affordable) veggies, chicken chili and the Trader Joes brand oreos. I also love how they have some amazing wines for affordable prices. The same with coffee and cheese, both selections are affordable with a decent selection.

Hi! I forgot all about Trader Joe's! I wonder if they have a website - I'll have to check. With so many stores offering delivery of food items now, it might be worth it to check their prices! Thanks! :-)

Traderjoes.com is the website! :) But they do not offer product ordering at this time. They have alot of news about their products and new and upcoming ones. They send out a flyer if you live in one of their areas. Hope this helps you out.

One just opened up last spring and it isn't close to me, so I've only been there once, but I loved the peanut butter cups and the mini-quiches.

I do shop at trader joes. Their frozen cherries are cheaper than regular supermarkets. My favorite frozen veggies are the brittany blend. It's a mixture of green beans, wax beans, and carrots. Their whole grain waffles are excellent too. My family loves the Trader Joes Oreos!! The chocolate covered raisins are the best!!

I love Trader Joe's. Unfortunately, there isn't one here in the city I live (so sad)! I shopped at Trader Joe's when I was in Seattle, and when I was in Riverside, CA. It's such a fun store, all these really cool items at very reasonable prices. I found them online, but they don't sell anything.

There's no Trader Joe's where I live but when friends and family travel near one I have them stock up on trail mix and pretzels for me. I wish I lived near one...all the food you're talking about is making me hungry!

I LOVE TRADER JOES!! My must buy list contains the lobster bisque, tomato bisque, the rosemary grilled chicken (salad topping!!), the orange juice, trail mix, dried apricots, the pre-made salads, the frozen teriyaki or thai bowls (great for lunch!), peanut butter granola bars, the carton soup and the white cheddar popcorn. I always try to leave w/ something new to try... I'm so happy they finally arrived in ATL - I grew up on TJs!!!

I generally like the produce I find there, when I can get it! The produce section is always so ransacked at my TJs!
In the pre-prepared foods, I dig on the gnocchi w/ tomato sauce in the frozen section. It's especially good with a couple of fresh tomatoes cut in. I also just got some of those mushroom pop overs (froz section) for a Super bowl party- those were pretty good, too.
I've found that frozen food at TJs is hit or miss. I got the vegetable samosas- only so-so. My husband got some frozen curry dish- he said is was disgusting. But I'm not giving up on them yet! I have some orange chicken in the freezer (recommended by another) that I'm going to cook up tonight.
