I agree that TJ's is a bonanza for someone who does not cook...their prepared foods are a bit healthier than most major brands if you read their ingredients.
I cook from scratch 95% of the time. I LOVE Trader Joe's for very specific things. Organic oatmeal, dried fruit, nuts, honey--all at amazing prices for my homemade granola. I love their cheeses...shredded cheddar; brie; and my absolute favorite: English Cheddar with caramelized onions.Yum.
My favorite cereal is Barbara's Puffins..and TJ sells it at half the price of my local grocery store.
Organic applesauce...cheap and delicious.
Dried lavender sachets...love em.
Bath/body products..great smell and cheap.
Jellies/jams...wonderful and yup, you guessed it: cheap.
Cookies..delicious + different..and I second the commenter above about the Peppermint Joe-Joe's!!!!!
Chocolate bars..to die for AND really cheap.
Soy sauce, condiments (esp their sundried tomatoes) are excellent. Mustards are good too.
It's just nice to buy stuff from a store that has DIFFERENT things for sale that our big box grocery stores have. As well as selling organic/natural foods for a reasonable price instead of ripping you off like the chains.
And my final favorite of TJ's? Mini pita breads :)

Costco also sells a box of single serving sized Sabra hummus. I think there are 12 in a box. Perfect snack size.

I should have said "the same fat content on BEEF burgers" above...

I have to second (or third) the IngenuiTEA (check it out here:http://www.adagio.com/teaware/ingenuiTEA_teapot.html?SID=6260fa5a279cb1718623a6217d5d55ad
from Adagio Teas. I also have an electric teakettle (Stainless Steel Hamilton Beach--$20 from Costco) that heats water super fast. Put loose tea in the IngenuiTEA....add boiling (or very hot..the teas from Adagio have a brewing guide on the package)..let it steep for about 5 min (or 7 for some teas..they tell you that, too, on the package) and you get a really awesome cup of tea. And a fun delivery..you'll see!

Really fast scrambled eggs. Mix eggs or a combo of egg and egg beaters with one (or 2) Laughing Cow cheese wedges (the soft kind) and salt and pepper. Put in mug you have sprayed well with no-stick spray. Microwave for 1 minute on high; stir and microwave in 20-30 sec increments until almost done. Let sit for 1-2 min....delish and very quick.

Two thoughts...one...I want to raise chickens after this video! Not only are they cute (oh yeah) but i love the idea of knowing what they are fed, and what kind of daily care these chickens are getting before you eat their eggs. We have farmers around us who raise chickens, and sell their eggs, but they do not feed them organic feed.
Secondly, I don't think I could swallow a morsel of one of my former pets if it was on my dinner plate. That said, I would not have a problem giving it to someone ELSE to eat :)

I have to agree with a lot of other posters: Poppyseed bagel, lightly toasted, plain cream cheese, lox, sliced tomato, red onion, capers....yuuuuuum.

I'm sorry, but EWWWWWW. And I am an adventurous eater.

Lightly toasted poppyseed bagel, spread with plain cream cheese, lox, red onion slices, thinly sliced tomato and capers....um, yum.

Honey Bear...check out www.smittenkitchen.com for an amazing Mocha Chocolate Cheesecake that she posted the recipe for a couple of days ago.

I would definitely make a bunch of different kinds of salad dressing, marinade, and dipping oils. Another idea...I went to a party recently where they had olive oil tastings...but hid the brand until we all voted on our favorite. Ironically, the drugstore brand won...lol. It might be fun to try that with your friends.
