The Trader Joe's Product Discussion Thread (S/D)

*adds to list*

the fig butter tastes just like the insides of fig newtons. will def be baking with this.

love Trader Joes mexican Nipple Rub

I love that stuff!! A little fig butter and cheese of yr choice on puff pastry topped w some prosciutto upon exit from oven, mwah!

Oops xp

chicken verde burrito otm - had it for lunch today. even with the crappy microwave doing a pisspoor job of cooking it evenly, it was p tasty. or maybe it was just that I was so hungry I could have happily eaten my hand.

Attention! Lemur tea is back!

i like the pumpkin spice granola a lot btw

Awesome sandwich: split a small baguette, butter one side, spread fig butter on the other, put prosciutto di parma in the middle. Arugula optional.

new product: pecan pie ice cream tastes exactly how it sounds.

omg that sounds supreme

LOL @ LL's xp

be carefull with yer nips dude

I wish they had more snacks in the "just a handful" format (they have two of their trail mixes and plain almonds) -- as a dude who can't not eat as much as you put in front of me, this is very helpful.

mmm japanese stirfry is frighteningly good. like, I could eat the whole bag in one go kinda good.

i really like the japanese fried rice.

oh that's what I meant

eating it right now in fact

I can attest that the Colombian Supremo coffee is sweet, like caramel. It may be the lightest, least oily coffee sold by Trader Joe's.

I am waiting for the tea that is sold in winter with lemurs on the package.

I misread that as 'tea that is sold in winter by lemurs' and was all !!!

The background color is light blue and is perfectly right for a cold numb milky winter palliative beverage.

It's a living!

the TJ's colombian supremo was the best coffee I found there, but it's nowhere near as good as the considerably cheaper kirkland colombian supremo at costco

got some lemur tea this weekend

Attention! Lemur tea is back!

think i'm in love with the morningstar farms tomato & basil pizza burger (they have them in the freezer section). i just crisped up a few in the cast-iron and they were really flavorful and had a good texture.

I am abt to go to Trader Joe's! I am so excited!! What should I get??

newbie says chicken verde burrito

funny, that is one of two things on my list (the other being lemur tea)

and chocolate raspberry sticks or chocolate covered peppermint jo-jo's

Coconut cream
Repackaged gardein fake chicken tenders
Canned beans
frozen mac n cheese

sesame honey almonds

Pita crackers
Boursin cheese for $3.75 per wheel
Edamame hummus

The almonds in a dusty cocoa shell with sea salt embedded in it

Lime & Chili cashews

ooh, I bet I would love the edamame hummus.

The almonds in a dusty cocoa shell with sea salt embedded in it

Is that the same thing as the almonds w dark choc, sea salt, and turbinado sugar? With the yellow label?

I got:
Lemur tea
Chicken verde burritos
Lemon pepper pappardelle
Cheddar gruyere melange (for mac)
some staple-y things.

I will report back.

Oh I also got the blueberry muesli and the maple pecan granola cereal and mixed them together

YEESSSSSSSSSS that is it.

those are so dangerous.

Omg they're the best and they're hardly sweet at all.

Blueberry muesli for sure. With yogurt and their dried raspberries which are super cheap for some reason. Not reinventing the wheel here, ppl.

their dried raspberries are cheap? how soon can I get myself to a TJ right now?

Cheap compared to WF at least, but maybe that's not saying much

Someone please suggest cookie recipes that I could throw dried raspberries in.

thinking about how much my life will change after tj's opens on friday (first one in this city, nay, even this state). i might go to the grand opening on friday night.

Someone please suggest cookie recipes that I could throw dried raspberries in.

Yo, chicken verde burrito was like "oh hey this is p tasty" and then I realized that it costs me, like, less than $2 and I was all "OH FUCK THIS IS BOMB AS HELL"

all the burritos look like diarrhea inside but taste kind of incredible

all frozen buritos everywhere look like diarrhea inside
