    Default Trader Joes Hauls

    Since so many people mentioned Trader Joes in the Whole Foods thread, I thought I'd make a thread! I'm so glad there are Trader Joes so widely available around the U.S. since everyone I ask not from here says they don't have them where they're from.

    I like this grocery store when I'm being lazy and don't want to cook, or haven't been to a farmers market for produce lately. I try not to go too often because I buy such bad stuff lol, but such good prices!

    What do you always buy when you head to Trader Joes?

    Mine:
    Parisian macarons in the purple box
    Pizza Margherita in the maroon box
    Vegetable fried rice
    Frozen peeled shrimp (great prices)
    Salmon "burgers"
    Mahi mahi "burgers"
    Mixed seafood frozen stew in a red bag
    Roasted potatoes in the royal blue & white bag
    Hazelnut cookies (the word butter might be in the title?)
    Cheese enchiladas
    Spicy tomato soup
    Organic avocados (I buy these everywhere lol)
    Any and all fresh produce
    Any and all frozen fruit for smoothies (I stockpile these, especially pineapple)
    Atlantic smoked salmon (though I prefer fresh)

    Trader Joe's is my absolute favorite grocery store in the entire world. Unfortunately, there are ZERO Trader Joe's in Canada. Boo!

    I might have to return to the States just to have my favorite store back.

    I love the turkey bacon, organic tomatoes, lemons, pea pods, kale, spinach, potatoes, hash browns, cheesy ravioli, egg rolls, milk, cinimin rolls, orange chicken, organic rice, chicken breast, omg everything there is just so good I stock up cause its more of a drive than the other stores around me. I love all organic stuff, it tastes better i think all grocery stores should have that in them idk why anything but organic is even sold, like here buy some pesticides n hormones n shit. eww

    FYI, trader joes is having a recall.

    Buuuttt besides that, I love that they sell organic sprouted rice. It really helps when you have digestive issues.

    There's a comedian (on Netflix) named Gary Gulman who does hilarious routine about Trader Joe's. Check it out for a good laugh.

    I just got groceries from Trader Joe's today. I got big tubs of strawberries & blueberries, bell peppers, bananas, spinach, potatoes, sourdough bread, cheese, steak, broccoli, siracha chips, cream cheese, pomegranate greek yogurt, milk, eggs, cucumbers, cranberry almond clusters cereal, ginger snap cookies, and those chocolate covered 'power berries' that are so amazing.

    I love Trader Joe's!

    First things first...their crispy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the work of satan alone. Omg they're addicitive! I did my first shopping for food experience at Trader Joes today because I just assumed they were Whole Foods expensive. I'll be there once a week for now on. 2 bags of groceries for $63. And within those bags were a verity of fresh fruit and other assorted goodness. Oh yes I'm a fan.

    Speaking of Whole Foods, they just opened a discount Whole Foods called like 365 and it's only like 2 miles or something from me. Omgggg. I haven't been yet
