I love practically everything at Trader Joe's. It's hard to determine any favorites, and there's so much good stuff to choose from. I love Trader Joe's overall, because it's much cheaper than Whole Foods, and I think that's because it carries its own brand of organic foods.
though I personally like $2 buck chuck (now over $2) I don't pay much attention to anything I read on Snopes. They are not always correct. BTW, that article is 3 years old. Things may have changed. Plus, I have been told, which may or may not be true: WalMarts cheap brand in manufactured by the same company that makes $2 Chuck and a company that makes a brand sold only at Albertsons. I doubt any of us really know the story behind the wine. Most of us do agree, unless we are wine snobs, for the money it is pretty decent. I might also add, the wine has won several awards, so it can't be too bad.
OMG, How did I forget Two Buck Chuck as a favorite ??!? Maybe because Pa. stores aren't permitted to sell wine. I have to import it when I travel to Ohio and Michigan.

Those are delicious. Therapeutic, too - they got my late husband through chemo with little to no nausea.

Not me, baby. It's good stuff, and and awful lot of people recognize that.
Not food but they make a cheap hair conditioner that is better than many expensive brands I've used over the years. People re-sell it on the internet for over double the price.
And while I'm not a big wrap person, they have some really good ones in the refrigerated section.
My only thing with Trader Joe's is they will discontinue an item with no warning. They used to have these pretzel bread turkey sandwiches in the refrigerated section. I used to love those things. Then one day they were gone. Also, their black beans in the light blue can are great if you have do canned beans.
They have pineapple salsa that is so good! I don't even like pineapple much, but love the salsa. I like the mini chicken tacos too. Dipped in the pineapple salsa and sour cream.
I like a lot of their frozen appetizers - the mini chicken tacos are one. I also like the bacon-wrapped scallops and the pastry bites with feta cheese and carmelized onions.
And if you like rice, you can't beat their microwaveable rice. They have white rice, brown rice, jasmine rice, and other kids. You microwave the package for 2 minutes and it's perfect.
