Your favorite Trader Joe’s items?

[emer95]

We have a Trader Joe’s about 45 minutes away from us, so I’ve only been there a few times. But I was thinking about doing my grocery shopping there this week, just to change things up a bit. I’m excited to try their cauliflower gnocchi. Any must-haves I should look for?

Everything but the bagel seasoning! I love putting it on avocado toast in the morning.

I'd like all the items!! There are no Trader Joe's in Canada and my single visit to one was while we were in California. I browsed in there for almost 2 hours. Honestly, I think it was more wondrous than DLR!

I love a few things from TJs
- caramelized onion and feta cheese Pastry bites
- frozen risottos (it’s obviously not the same as real risotto but doesn’t go too mushy or gummy)
- party meatballs (they’re very neutrally seasoned so can go with pasta sauce/Italian or be bbq meatballs or really anything)
-TJs is the only store I know that has roasted, salted pecans!!!!
-the dried coconut strips are a really good sweet

Haha! I’m pretty close to Canada. I’ll buy you a bag of things and hand it over the Peace Bridge to you!

Mmm. Risotto you don't have to stir constantly! So, how long would you say a first-timer should expect to spend in the store?

Haha! I’m pretty close to Canada. I’ll buy you a bag of things and hand it over the Peace Bridge to you!

or
Can you get that close, or might you need a catapult?
