Best Trader Joe's Items - A List - list yours

[tanatastic 2,061]

Their dips are the best. Hummus and more. Pub cheese and more.

Artichoke jalapeño dip, epic stuff. They do have great dips and spreads. Near frozen stuff the spinach artichoke microwave dip too.

There is a three (or five ?) layer dip that is out of this world.

They have black licorice butt plugs.

 

Something about the texture.

[Bier Meister 1,512]

They have a newer product that is very good- Kung pao chicken mochi.  The shell is very similar to one of my favorite varieties of dim sum (fried glutenous pork dumplings- ham sui gok), but a little more crispy.

George likes his chicken spicy! 

[Bier Meister 1,512]

I like their sparkling waters.  this season they offer a "sangria" which is very good.

maple streusel bread... was great for french toast

white truffle popcorn

I had never been til I was in SA. They have one in Charleston so we’ve gone quite a bit. Don’t really get much from there but my wife loves getting wines from there 

[Fnord 1,131]

Charles Shaw wine hands down the best alcohol value I've ever come across. This includes Costco. If I can't by my booze at one of those 2 stores, I don't need to drink it. 

The Jo-Jo holiday cookies are great

Tzatziki 

Olive Tapenade

There is still no trader Joe's anywhere near my house. Although once a month or so I have been taking my wife out to eat near a trader Joe's on Sunday and she loves shopping there.

I do not yet have a favorite food there although their brand name frozen pizza is not bad.

I never have anything that’s a “must buy” for me when I go. Might get the orange chicken they have there cause ppl say it’s good. But honestly, I don’t shop there enough to really know what’s good and what isn’t

They do a good job with frozen, cheeses, and snacks.

 

Produce is fine but short shelflife.

 

Proteins are not good. Every marinated item I have tried has been way too salty.

 

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

Any recommendations for snacks during the game? My wife is going on Friday.

They sometimes carry jerk chicken skewers.

do you like samosas?

many types of spring rolls

I eat broccoli with a chicken, turkey or beef burger for dinner 5 days a week. Tuna and hard boiled egg with baby swiss sandwich for lunch. I'm boring and cheap save the expensive shelled pistachios on the side  with lunch.

maybe there is chicken or turkey that might appeal to you.  Price isn’t an obstacle though

vodka

Only one place for this. Costco. Their Kirkland is just rebottled Grey Goose and cheaper. Plus you dont need a membership to buy alcohol, just tell them you are there for booze and they will let you in.

Same for Sam's Club liquor, & they don't even ask if you're a member. They do ask your birthdate. Kind of annoying, but I just give them a different month-date-year every time I go.

They have members mark american vodka. 6 x distilled 1.75 L made in Louisville, Kentucky.  $14.32 after taxes. I'm not a vodka connoisseur but it tastes fine to me.
