Trader Joe's



Super thankful for my neighborhood supermarket,
Trader Joe's, I just love ya!!!


I try to get all my grocery goodies from TJ because let's be honest, they have everything at such a resonable price.  Move over Central Market because my go-to items at TJ are always spicy hummus, dips, fruit, veggies, chips, nuts, salad, wine, and desserts.  AND, the best part of my shopping experience is snagging a baby cup of coffee and sampling a taster that I most often am lured into buying.


My momma is the best gift giver ... Trader Joe's giftcards, love it!  And considering she was the one that introduced me to it in Cali, it's quite fitting.  Who doesn't love free groceries?!


I am always excited to try new finds at Trader Joe's, 
so please share what your favorite find is if you are a TJ shopper!

  3. Oh, yes, I love Trader Joe's. In fact, I'm headed there in a little while!

    There are so many things I love. Their cheeses, hummus, baked lentil chips, peanut butter, salt water taffy, and, of course, their wine! So many more things, too!

    I was considering a TJ's post. Great minds think alike, I guess. :)

  6. I LOVE Trader Joe's! The closest one to me is two hours away...so so so sad. I think I love everything there! I'm a big fan of their tomato soup and my husband loves the chocolate covered blueberries. My dog really likes their peanut butter dog cookies too!

  8. They have a new dark chocolate/black sea salt chocolate bar that is to die for...literally! Please try it, soooo good! It's up at the front by checkout and has a ship and wave on the front.

    Also, their $2 buck chuck is so fab, huh?! I pretty much love everything I buy there.

  11. We just got one here last year, and its been so much fun...no more 90 minute drive! I was there yesterday, and my new favorite would be the spinach tortellini, with chopped tomato (they have these funky brown tomatoes) and their tuscan vinaigrette dressing. A-ma-zing.

  12. I know it sounds weird, but I LOVE their basil plant! I use so much basil in the summer and get tons of use out of that $3 plant! Oh and yummy cheese too!

  16. I love TJ's! Their frozen entrees--sweet potato gnocchi, shells with brie and asparagus, and flatbread with caramelized onions and prosciutto are some of my favorites. Basically, I love everything there!

    Oh, and their inside-out carrot cake cookies are to die for! :-)

  17. I am obsessed with Trader Joe's!! My favorite grocery store, I just wish there were one closer to me. I have to drive about 20 minutes to the closest one but it's worth it!

  18. Everything at Trader Joe's is good!!
    I am there all the time. :D

    They sell DELISH madeline cookies that my son and I devour - lol! If you like Thai food, they are starting to sell a lot of good Pad Thai and curries in the frozen section. OMG and the Candy Cane Jo Jos during the holiday season are the BOMB!!

  19. Oh, I miss Trader Joe's! I lived on NE 45th St. when I lived in Seattle and would go the nearest one (I can't remember the street it was on). We are finally getting one in Dallas!!! Woo Hoo! It will still be a drive for me to get there, but it will be well worth it. Even though I love TJ, I still don't think you can beat the freshly made tortillas at Central Market :)
