Trader Joes

I'm headed to Trader Joes for the first time since my surgery. I saw items that some of you buy there and really like but I can't find them now. I was curious, what do you like to buy when you go there? I open to suggestions. Thanks.

Off the top of my head, here's what I get at TJ's:
- frozen fish (ahi tuna, mahi mahi, shrimp, a shrimp with vegetable stir fry, scallops)
- frozen veggies and frozen fruit (great selection of both)
- Greek yogurt
- hummus
- Marsala sauce, Piccata sauce -- I use them to simmer chicken
- canned beans
- chicken or beef or pork, if on sale
- coffee (I *love* their Gingerbread coffee now -- makes up for Starbucks not having SF gingerbread syrup. It's like Christmas in a cup!)

I also buy household type items there (soap, lotion, etc) and canned cat food. But I don't eat those!

Hope this helps,
Lesley

Lesley, Da Vinci has sugar free gingerbread syrup. I got a bottle at The Restaurant Store but haven't tried it yet. Their locations are on their website. It's also available from netrition.com.

I have the gingerbread.. it's pretty good in coffee!

Thanks, Julia!  I had heard that they had it, and I was actually thinking of ordering it and bringing it with me to Starbucks and asking them to put two pumps of it in my latte.  I am VERY angry with Starbucks for not having SF holiday flavors this year, and I've been emailing them about it and saying snarky things to them on Twitter about it.  I figure since I'm a shareholder they have to listen to me complain! :)

  The cat food lesley - you CRACK me up.  I wonder what the protein content in it is?  Maybe we should!  LOL  Call it pate!

Mmmm... pate! Hilarious! I will have to remember that in case I have any people drop by that I don't like. The cat food is grain free so it's chock full o' protein! Yum!

Thanks Lesley, this gives me a start. The gingerbread coffee does sound good that will be a definite I think. Since I'm not big on pate, I think I'll stay away from the cat food.LOL.
