What do you buy at Trader Joes?

I read a lot of posts that talk about Trader Joes. I will be in the area of one next week which is 200 miles away. I would like to know what are some of the items that everyone gets from there. Thank You in advance.

All of the things!

TJ's stock does change depending on your region - things available in the Mid Atlantic might not be in a CA store - but that being said - here are some of my favorites:

• turkey meatballs (frozen)
• chile lime burgers (frozen)
• chicken sausages (cold case) there are a million flavors, calorie counts vary, my favorite is the sweet italian
• all of the nuts - they're cheap
• Omega Trek Mix in the "Just a Handful" pre-portioned bags
• Goat Cheese medallions (prepackage 1oz. servings)
• Babybel - not a TJ's only item, but seem to be the cheapest there
• Fat Free Pizza Sauce
• Everyday Seasoning (it's in a spice grinder thing and really delicious)

I second the turkey meatballs and chile-lime burgers!!!

I like the lemon bars, a decent little sweet/tart treat. 

They sell a cauliflower in a cheese sauce (frozen) it a TJ's product that I've found at Aldi.

Their Frozen Wild Caught salmon was AWESOME.

I also bought a frozen scallops in mushroom sauce-- haven't tried it yet though.

I buy a lot of the Asian frozen dishes for my hubby-- Kung Pao chicken, fried rice, Orange Chicken are his favorites.

My son love the TJ's frozen chicken nuggets-- as he said-- tastes like real meat!!

My kids weren't fond on the TJ's pizza. 

Oh! And Jalapeno Greek Yogurt dip?

I love the riced cauliflower and the chicken sausages. The goat cheese medallions are on my list for when I get over there. 

A lot of nuts, cheese, and coffee. I also like to get organic carrots, Olive oil, canned ahi tuna, quinoa, pizza sauce in the jar, frozen berries, chicken breast, and these slim whole wheat bagel things (they are really low in calories and carbs). They also have great frozen peas and green beans, lunch meats, jerkys, and frozen fish. I have never found the riced cauliflower in stock!

I went there for the first time and just enjoyed looking around.

I bought some think thin bars there that are really good.

Veggie Meatballs, Ground Turkey Breast is super cheap, Bought some meatball mozeralla burgers and Turkey Meatloaf.

I might go there today.

I have seen some Chicken Skewers mentioned from the frozen section

I love the sweet Italian chicken sausage as well. I need to go there this weekend,  I don't go often. 

I adore Trader Joe's.  Many of my favorites are listed above, but some more are:

• Lite shredded mozzarella cheese (best tasting I've found)
• Lite mozzarella string cheese (ditto on best tasting)
• Cheese of any kind - super cheap
• Frozen skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• Grilled chicken breasts (in the fresh food section.  There are about 5 cooked breasts, individually packaged)
• Hummus.  The new flavor is sriracha, and it is delish!
• Jerky
• Frozen cooked and uncooked prawns
• Frozen scallops
• Salt and pepper pistachios
• Ginger tea
• Pre-cut fresh cauliflower.  I just roasted some last night with a little curry powder.
• Pizza Sauce.  I make pizzas in a portobello mushroom.

The options are endless.  Just wander around, pick up packages and read the back to see if it will work for you.  Have fun!
