Shopping list for Trader Joes?
I have to attend a thing today that is quite a drive, and there happens to be a Trader Joe's near my destination. Since we don't have one near me, I thought I'd stop in and see what goodies I could find. For those of you that are TJ junkies, what are some of your suggestions?  |

Just walk in and look around. Do you need a dessert or an appetizer or other? |

Shoot...there's nothing that I really NEED that I can't get at the local grocer.  I just was wondering if there were any special TJ "treasures" or favorites that anyone wanted to recommend. |

I love their frozen veggies, particularly their corn. Once you've tried it, you'll never want to choke down canned corn again, or any other brand of frozen corn.

Wow, So much that is Yummy!!! 
I spend way too much there.
Yeah, don't really need a list. What I do is just start to grab things, trouble for me later!!! Big bill! 
Great juices, breads, chocolates yummy! etc, and the prices are better too. Good thing I do not have one too close they would have all my money! 
Ooooh they have a mixed frozen pasta with veggies, just heat and serve... so good. Oh no I'n getting hungry now!  |

Do check out their fresh nuts and dried fruits/veggies. Trail mixes are wonderful! Super prices too!

Trader Joe's stinks. Just another cheesy corporate America cookie cutter store
Support your local butcher, deli, bakery, etc, the food will be fresher and the service will be better

I really miss Trader Joes. Some of my favorite things to buy there are:
- Trader Giotto's vodka sauce
- Trader Joe's Caesar dressing
- Trader Joe's chocolate ganache cake (in the frozen section)
- sun-dried tomatoes
- pesto
- Trader Joe's French onion soup
add to this any number of candies & snacks, and I'm good to go!
I really wish they sold their products online.
