I have just rediscovered my love of Trader Joe's.

pale blue eyes · 08-16-2011, 11:10 AM

In the last few years I had gotten pretty bored with Trader Joe's, mainly because of buying the same stuff and buying a few new things I did not like. A couple months ago, my friend sent me a link to this blog and now I am loving it again.

Their spicy veggie burritos and great breads are a few favorites of mine.

What are your favorite products from Trader Joe's?

sweet potato frites
yellow corn tortilla chips
frozen indian dinners
frozen chimichurri rice
frozen gnocchi alli sorrentina
fresh guacamole
handmade corn tortillas
frozen orange chicken
most of their frozen pizzas
frozen quinoa duo
fresh country italian salad
most of their jarred salsas
frozen wild sockeye salmon
canned smoked trout
most of the hummuses, particularly the spicy hummus
frozen chipotle chicken skewers
their beer is decent and the 2 buck chuck keeps MY BUZZ ON

and a bunch of other shit i DON'T eat because it makes me fat but if i ever decide to get fat i will buy 3 ounces of weed and go there and shop while i'm high and get the worst shit ever and have the biggest pig out and do it carnie wilson-style

Yes, I love their hummuses especially.

They have a lot of really good cookies and snacks which I try hard to stay away from, usually with limited success. I'll almost get out of there and then I will grab one of their chocolate bars.

Their vegetable biryani is legit and hummus is good too. The almond windmill cookies rock. Also really enjoy the brown jasmine rice AMD rice medley, both are better than their other rices of the past.

For whatever reason though, I prefer Wegmans over Trader Joe's for most everything else of similar ilk.

Wegmans is awesome, but the closest one near me is in Downingtown.

There's one off of 202 north near the 29 exit that might be closer to you.

mxzombie · 08-16-2011, 04:12 PM

yeah wegman's is great. the closest trader joes to me now is about 45 minutes; i've only been to one once. it was alright, but i didn't have any money to spend.

sppunk · 08-16-2011, 07:10 PM

Wegmans' ultimate white cake is probably the best cake over ever had.

Trotskilicious · 08-16-2011, 07:21 PM

hummus should be pluralized as hummi

i like trader joes for wine and some other stuff. i also like that it is not 100,000 square feet

Trotskilicious · 08-17-2011, 12:00 AM

man a grocery store that isn't the size of a space station would be nice

i went into the biggest walmart i've ever seen today. i'm not sure why I felt it was so epic, it couldn't have been that much larger than other walmarts but srsly yo, can't we break this shit up and pretend they are different stores or something

Looks like the one in Malvern? Still about forty-five minutes, per Google Maps. A bit too far to have food in the car, especially if I get caught in traffic. Thanks for the heads up though.

barden · 08-17-2011, 08:33 AM

Hey dudes, SA is getting our first wallmarts. What can i expect?
They have teamed up with a local store, which from what I can tell, do basically the same thing anyway.

yes, aldi is TJ's parent company. Aldi is one of the largest retailers in the world. Aldi is mainstream discount. TJ's is upscale discount. Same principle, though. In the industry they're referred to as Limited Assortment retailers.

So wrong.

Bakers of Buffington make the best cake ever. Not even a close 2nd anywhere to be found. If you are ever within a 40 mile vicinity of them, then you gotta order a cake to made and buy it. It's so fucking good. God damn I want one now. You can pretty much have them custom made to ******* whatever variety of flavors you want in there.

Cheaply made chinese garbage, awful clothes, lots of trashy people, and a store the size of San Marino.

pale blue eyes · 08-17-2011, 04:50 PM

Seriously.

Aldi is great stuff. Produce should be cheap and of acceptable quality.
