Different flavors of jello and pudding like banana, pistachio, didn't care for the cheesecake. Watermelon and strawberry banana jello.

Watching this thread as I am going this weekend also.

I cannot live without dannon light and fit Greek yogurt. It is 80 calories, lots of protein and comes in amazing flavours like cherry cheesecake etc. yoplait and oikos yogurts are great too with lots of yummy flavours like apple pie, key lime pie etc. we just don't have good flavours here! It is a total staple on my diet!

The Source (I'm pretty sure) has vanilla/chocolate, key lime, etc at Freshco. I LOVE THEM!

I would be checking their prices on vitamins, protein powder etc.  I'd also like to ramble through a Trader Joe's grocery store to see what other kind of unique options are available that we don't have.  Have fun & safe travels :)

Bags of Blue Diamond almonds in dark chocolate, butter toffee (they have decent numbers).  I did like the sugar free cheesecake pudding when I mixed it with my favourite yogurt flavour to make a faux cheesecake (just add yogurt, no milk or water).   I like the Minute Maid and Arizona water flavouring, they are small and fit in your purse.  I don't like Mio or Crystal Light that much.  Yogurt flavours are amazing.  Have fun.

Sargento reduced fat cheese sticks.  So yummy.  Real cheese and doesn't taste rubbery.  

More varieties of Laughing Cow cheeses.

Good deals on Quest protein bars.
