Yeah I saw those cans of matar paneer yesterday and first was like "hey!" and then was like "actually probably no." my kids like the frozen chicken tikka masala.

i had a can of daal makhani for lunch. it looks like diarrhea (which it's supposed to) but actually tastes really good. maybe a bit salty.

I moved to a less bougie neighborhood and now there's no tj's within a reasonable distance of me or even where I work, so I went to tj's for the first time in ages yesterday...and apparently the truffle mac n cheese was seasonal???? I'm devastated

Recently enjoyed:Vegan masala burgers (potato based. Tastes like smashed samosas). Morningstar farms (Kellogg's) TVF based breakfast sausagesScallion pancakes
Could use improvement:Vegetarian burritos
I also tried the peanut butter pretzels but damn they stick to my teeth too much

Texture is good.
― Jeff, Sunday, 26 February 2017 22:48 (seven years ago) link
the masala burgers have been my favorite for a long time, I think the first time I ever went to tjs they were sampling it and I always have a box in my freezer.
The quality of the veggie burritos changed for the worse a while ago...perhaps around the time of the frozen veg recall they had to switch suppliers? also they have a ton of fat, I know veg options dont automatically != healthy but if they tried to supplement it with some other fatty goodness I couldn't taste it.

bought myself frozen foods at TJ's last night for the first time in 1.5 years. So many new products (not just frozen but everywhere!!)
Did they get rid of the fresh focaccia w/ tomato slices on it?Did they get rid of the steak & ale and chicken balti pies????

Sometimes selection varies from store to store
― calstars, Friday, 3 March 2017 15:31 (seven years ago) link
they also just like fill shit in and take shelf tags off when they run out of stuff so there's that too

my dad and his family came over to visit me from yorkshire last year, and he still talks about two buck chuck on our weekly phone calls
― đ đđ˘đ¨ (caek), Friday, 3 March 2017 16:05 (seven years ago) link
oh those balti pies were so gooood
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 3 March 2017 16:46 (seven years ago) link
he still talks about two buck chuck
Even red wine vinegar is more expensive than two-buck chuck. Even though it is about as ordinary as wine can get, that's a noteworthy price point.

It's $2.49 in California now (for the past few years). I assume it's at least that elsewhere. For a while other stores had $2 wine (Fresh and Easy had Longboard, iirc, though I guess F&E is part of the same empire as TJ).
― nickn, Friday, 3 March 2017 18:24 (seven years ago) link
Charles Shaw is now three-buck chuck here in Portland, but it's still easily the cheapest vin ordinaire going.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Friday, 3 March 2017 18:29 (seven years ago) link
One of the 99 Cents Only stores here carries wine, but it's $2.99. They had a Goliath white, which I think I've seen elsewhere for closer to $8-10.

The steak and ale and chicken balti pies were taken off the shelves at the same time when the frozen veg recall happened - however I went to tj's last week and the steak and ale pie is back. I actually emailed them about the chicken balti pies and never heard back, I really really want them back :(

Currently I am liking:
TamalesGyozaPizza dough - a staple (though I slightly prefer my own, it takes too long)Chicken sausageDried pitted Montmorency cherriesDark chocolate-covered cherriesPinachio cookiesCaramel cashew cookiesRoasted/salted almonds
Winewise, they have a couple different Primitivos that I have bought and am looking forward to trying.

this was mostly a fill-up run (i like to go to tj's after therapy because it's soothing and this week i was rewarded with 'a view to a kill' on the stereo when i got there); also i gave up chocolate for lent. i bought a bottle of wine, the fresh mozz cheese sticks, a new york strip, the heat and eat brussels, "handsome cut" french fries, haricots verts, blueberries, honey roasted peanuts, cheese crisps that are all cheese, hash browns (my favorite thing!!!), strawberry preserves, tahini, and chickpeas. also two clutches of red roses, which i combine in my mason jar vase.
― maura, Friday, 10 March 2017 21:40 (seven years ago) link
i figured out how to make those hash browns so they're exactly like mcdonald's. it is the best
gosh

Same here. My toaster oven has a setting for frozen has browns! it makes them 90% perfect
