Thread: Any new TJ recomendations?

If you have ANY interest in soup or black beans, you NEED the new black bean soup. It's one of the box soups with the other ones + the broths.

FUGGIN AMAZING.

A bullet-proof vest.

Im sure Im horribly late on this but, pick up Woodcutters White Gewürztraminer. Its an amazingly refreshing, sweet, white whine and its a whopping $3. If you dont like it, I will buy it from you.

EDIT- Woodsmans White, not Woodcutters.

I'll try it. I've yet to find a Riesling or a Gewürztraminer, whether import or domestic, that comes close to the good ole Fetzer (sue me!), but I'll give it a chance.

The caramel corn with macadamia nuts was great. We bought it and took it into the theater instead of the theater popcorn.

I saw some chocolate covered blueberries. Hmm..

The Gnocchi is the best non-fresh gnocchi I have ever tried. And the Asian sticky crispy rice snacks are awesome and if you eat the whole bag its still only like 300 calories.

Reading this damn thread is making me depressed that the nearest one is like 200 miles away.

I can tell you what NOT to buy.

In particular, there are some espresso cookies that f---ing nasty! I bought them hoping I could catch a small buzz from them and enjoy a cookie. After all, it had two of my favorite things espresso (yes KJ, I'm still an asshat) and cookies

But these things were f---ing disgusting. I tried to eat them and couldn't get past a second cookie. So I took them to work. The people that I work with are human garbage disposals. They will eat anything that isn't nailed down and says "FREE" on it. They ate about half of them and left the rest. The damn things sat out for about a week and then were thrown away due to lackof interest.

WOW! they were seriously bad.

Also, the pot roast in the deli section is gross as well. I took one bite of what was essentially boiled beef and spit the crap out. Absolutely horrible.


My favorite things...

the goat cheese trio (I know... I know... super asshat)
three layer pesto-sundried tomato-cheese spread thing
Chimay Grand Reserve
Fat Free Ranchero Egg salad
Sharfenburger chocolate sampler
Low fat string cheese
Acacia Pino, I give this one 5 out of 5 stars
and 2-buck-Chuck Merlot (for the price)

lol.

my husband didn't realize orange county girl scouts sell different cookies (from a different bakery) than LA county's. the OC cookies are gross--too sweet and don't taste like the ones i grew up with. so he left them at work.

aside from the lunch meat & bacon, i kind of find trader joe's meat to be disgusting. it tastes weird. otherwise, i like almost everything else they sell.
totally pissed the one in my city doesn't sell french madrange ham anymore though. i used to be able to make such great grilled ham and gruyere sandwiches... :(
