Ok, so I was just about to give up finding these on my last trip to TJ's, when I spotted them in the nut display. They were pricy, but all marcona almonds are. At first, I started popping them into my mouth, thinking, what's the big deal? I ate about 1/4 of the package and set them aside. The next time I had some, I went through twice as much, and then finished them off at school the next day. All along I was like, yeah, these are alright, I'm not going to break my neck doing backflips over them though. I was thinking, is this like that 'better than sex cake' all my colleagues were raving about?
And tonight, more than a month later, I'm craving them so badly. I can still remember every sensation as I ate them. Not many foods have this affect on me! This might bankrupt my food budget.
I recently tried their Greek Salad in the pre-made salad section. It is sooo good! The dressing is excellent and they put a lot of feta in the salad. I ate two of them this week. It has romaine with a bit of red cabbage, chopped red bell peppers, a few kalamata olives, some red onion, feta cheese, and dressing. Its not that exciting but its a really good combination of flavors for a pre-made salad.
Well, in my area the ALDI's have been remodeled and a nice new one just opened near me, and they are now getting closer and closer to Trader Joe's in their offerings. I haven't been to a Trader Joe's in many months, ALDI suits my needs. Between ALDI and Publix I have no need to go elsewhere.
we don't have Publix so our go to store is Aldi's, but I do not think it compares with Trader Joes. I love Aldi's, it is just a different type of store. I compare Trader Joe"s more with Fresh Market but not quite as pricey.
For the few people here who are not impressed with T.Js you are not alone. We were at happy hour with about 10 people a couple of nights ago. One gal made a point of stressing how much she didn't care for T.Js and the other 9 people just stared at her. Of curse she had only been there once and admits she didn't take time to really pay much attention. She is a Sprouts fan.
Ok, just tried something else - the slim version of Joe-Joe's cookies. These are super addictive. Basically a mock Oreo cookie. The slim version is much better, in my opinion. Not sure why, but I've almost finished a whole box in the past three days.

I seldom buy the premade salads, but the Chicken Caesar and Chinese Chicken salads are both excellent. I usually add one to some more romaine lettuce at home to make salad for two.

Yeah, they're PRICEY. But I only eat a few and really savor them. Almonds are very filling if you pace yourself. I like making a small cheese plate, with some crackers, cheeses, fruit and olives and just having the truffle almonds with that.
Various condiments and frozen dinners. The nearest one is about a hundred miles from me. The raisin bagels are good. I like TJ, but prefer Whole Foods if it was either/or.
