What's Your Favorite Trader Joe's Buy?

Edamame Hummus

Creamy goodness. Whoever thought of this deserves a big huge hug. And at only $2.69, it’s lunch for me for two days!! Thanks, TJ’s!

Best served with:

Whole Grain Pita Chips

Crunchy awesomeness to go with the creamy goodness.

Red Tail Ale

Hoppy. Cheap-ish. Solid beer and you’re on your way.

Mochi Ice Cream

So. Freakin. Good.
I’m a mochi maniac and I love that TJ prices these way lower than any other grocery store.

Sunflower Seed Butter

Yum yum yum yum yum. Goes great on a sandwich, fruit, cracker… and it’s smooth oily goodness is perfect for cookies!

Sushi

Ugh. It’s really bad. Notice the lack of individual rice grains. Instead there is one solid rice mass. I even wrote them a note about it. Waaaay below TJ’s standards.

Mayan Mix

I still grieve for Mayan Mix, which disappeared about 3-4 years ago with no warning.

The world spins on, as if Mayan Mix had never been here. In fact, this is THE ONLY picture I could find on the interwebz.

This gentleman holds a bag of Mayan Mix in his right hand. He and I alone may know of the sweetness, the saltiness, and the power.

Existence is so fragile . . .

Shu Mai

Best late-night drunk food you will ever make.

Takes 5 minutes. So. Good.

Panda Licorice Bits

You have to bring these to the movies with you and eat with popcorn.

TRUST ME.

ALL of the Beer

Trader Joe’s has SO much beer!!! An amazing selection and super good prices. YAY!

Tarte D' Alsace

Don’t ask me how to say it… or even what it means. If you like pizza, you’ll absolutely love this. It’s light, smoky, and crisp with a creamy sauce. Served with salad, it’s perfect for two.

Sliced Apples

Maybe you think I’m lazy, but I love that I can go to Trader Joe’s and buy apples that have already been sliced for me. And they’re so fresh and good too!

Candied pecans

OK, YUM. I could eat a whole bag of these, straight up.

Sesame Sticks!!

One time, I ate nothing but sesame sticks for 48 hours.

Dried Apricots

I always pick up a bag of TJ’s dried apricots and promptly devour them shortly thereafter. Sooo good.
