Fat-free Greek Style Yogurt
Fruit and Fiber Ends and Pieces (think that's what it's called....a bag of the leftover scraps from making their high-fiber fruit leather)
Vanilla ice cream bon bons
Flax & Honey flatbread
Ready-to-eat roast beets (in the veggie fridge)
Any number of their bagged salad
Cilantro dressing
Frozen naan
Shelf-stable Indian food entrees (tuna in yellow curry is great)
Antioxidant nut mix
Dried plantain chips
Greens with envy (I think that's what it's called...frozen mixed veggies)
Frozen fire-roasted corn
Almond cookies (two styles, one in a round clear plastic tub and the other in a rectangular cardboard box)

They have good prices on almond meal, if you use that often. I've also found decent cave-aged gruyere.

oh gosh -- i will try and be brief. i have an unhealthy obsession with trader joes.

-thai curry sauce (red or yellow, comes in a jar)
-garlic naan (frozen)
-tarte d'alsace (frozen)
-pizza dough
-truly handmade tortillas
-chicken sausage calzone (frozen)
-mediterranean hummus
-oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

and of course, all of their wines!!

irish breakfast tea, sunflower seed butter, boysenberry preserves, dried blenheim apricots, walnuts, pine nuts, almonds and pecans, dish soap, liquid glycerin soap, plugras butter, blue diamond almond milk, goat's milk and goat's milk yogurt.

oh i FORGOT to mention their lotions -- there is a citrus smelling one that i am addicted to. also make-up remover cloths with oatmeal.

i second the potstickers and cryo marinated meats -- the pollo asado and chipotle beef are delicious to just throw on the grill and into tacos.

Thanks for all of the awesome suggestions! Keep em' coming!

I "must have" a trip to Tader Joe's---the nearest is >100 miles away...I can see what I'm missin' out on!

We are selling our children for TJ's orange champagne vinegar--they seem to be the only people who have anything like it--Whole Paycheck, Jewel, Dominix, etc can't seem to get their collective heads around the idea of vinegar--we are only able to find Balsamic this, Balsamic that---they'll have twenty varieties of balsamic, but nothing, really, outside of that.
Trader Joe's orange champagne vinegar is the dux!
We also like their middle eastern section.
Two buck Chuck is OK to cook with.

The most important thing I buy at TJ's is the completely nut free dark chocolate bars. Not sure what the brand is, but I usually can't eat chocolate since I am allergic to tree nuts and peanuts, and this stuff is GOOD. It's got a silver wrapper...look for it.
Also...
Cheese and green chile tamales
Coffee (watch out though, some of them have nut warning labels)
String cheese
Cheese and horseradish dip
Green tea yogurt
Those awesome guacamole kits
Diet Hansens ginger ale
Citrus shower stuff
Pizza dough
Fruit leather
Pita chips
Sesame pretzels

We usually walk out of there with one bag. The person checking is always amazed at how filled our one bag is from our one basket. :P It's probably because what we get there lays flat.

- My husband loves their pistachio nut meat (shelled, salted). He buys 5-6 bags at a time and eats them in a week. Yes, his farts make our cat cry.
- I always buy several bags of unsalted frozen edamame.
- Freeze dried mangosteens are good in cereal! I can get the canned ones elsewhere for cheaper pretty easily though...
- Their butter wafers are yummy. They disappear so quickly once opened...

Around the winter holiday (so not this shopping trip for you) I really love getting their candy cane Joe Joe's to give away, and keep one box for myself. :)

We used to buy their thin-sliced beef for sukiyaki there, but it went bad the same day we got home, so we're probably not going to buy any beef there again.

The one thing to absolutely avoid is their N-A-S-T-Y sushi, at least if you're in the Cleveland area. It's the worst looking and tasting sushi I've ever had.

oh man, i have been doing almost all of my grocery shopping at TJ's since college. Even now in NYC, where they are few and far between (although brooklyn is finally getting one! yay!) i still manage. they do lots of things well, the only stuff i've had truly bad luck with is produce (except in California, where it was more up to par) and hummus. funny to see that so many other people are addicted to their greek yogurt! i just discovered it, i was buying their no fat house brand, but just got into the greek. wow, i literally eat it every day for breakfast (with some TJ's dried cranberries and slivered almonds :) )

-almost any of the frozen pastas, especially eggplant and bowtie
-potato medley (frozen potatoes with veggies)
-olive oil
-CHEESE! they have yummy goat cheese
-everything pretzel slims...a staple of my lunch every day, much healthier alternative to chips!
-salsa
-naan
-strawberry lemonade/blood orange spritzer/peach juice - my fave juices
-their pizza dough is excellent
-chicken sausages
-get the truffle brownie mix IMMEDIATELY, but use it to make cookies instead. there are instructions on the box. throw some of their house mini peanut butter cups in the dough...oh my god. delicious to the extreme.

Check out traderjoefans products section for reviews.
My personal favorites:
- Truffle brownie mix .. substitute butter for applesauce, it tastes just as good
- Frozen chocolate croissants (I don't keep them in the house because I can't resist them)
- Frozen mini croissants
- BBQ flavor popped potato chips (same as PopChips except $.60 cheaper)
- Freeze dried mangos (it's like candy)
- chocolate covered sunflower seeds
- Big unsalted roasted cashews - my dad loves these, can't find them elsewhere
- King Arthur flour (cheaper then elsewhere)
- Butter Waffle cookies
- Grade B maple syrup
- Maine blueberry syrup
- TJ non fat greek yogurt (I eat it with maple syrup or blueberry syrup)
- Puff pastry - this stuff is GREAT
- Jaipur Vegetables

Where do they keep the Almond meal? Is it with the nuts or bake goods? I can never find it at my local TJ :(

Sesame & honey covered cashews.

I need a Trader Joe's in my podunk burg (Lansing, MI)!

Trader Joe's supplies me with my daily dose of chocolate (Trader Joes Pound Plus Milk Chocolate), my Soyaki Marinade, Orange Flavored Dried Cranberries, Dried Sour Cherries, Madagascar Vanailla, Saffron, assorted nuts and sometimes their olive oil offerings.

Pound plus dark and bittersweet chocolate
Coconut Milk
Vodka Sauce
Maple Syrup
Fruits and Nuts (so cheap!)
...and come christmas, those plastic boxes of candies, chocolates, and carmel corn make great care package stuffers!

THREE BUCK CHUCK.

I love TJ's spinach dip with dill. It is so yummy with rye bread. I usually just buy that and frozen goodies, since I live a mile away from an amazing farmer's market that has better and cheaper produce and meats than TJ.

I love the Snapea Crisps, they're great. So is the mochi. I also really like the bowls they have in the freezer section (some sort of asian shrimp bowl, and some indian thing). They are great to bring to work for lunch. Also they're frozen burritos are soooo delicious. I also really like the Fage Greek yogurt. It is even better is you throw in some of their delicious blueberries right now and a packet of splenda if you want it sweeter. I will add to the list if I think of anything else I love or dislike at TJ's.
