I love Vanilla Almond Crunch cold cereal and Multi-grain Pancake and Waffle mix.
I love the Trader Joe’s High Fiber Cereal. I buy 10 boxes at a time. I love it with just milk. My hubs and kids like to mix it with another more sugary cereal. It definately helps you reach your daily fiber goal and it tastes great!
mm, I love trader joe’s! My new favorite is the frozen garlic. But I love their chicken apple sausages
So sad that I do not have a Trader Joe’s in my area. I love frozen fruit for my kids to toss into just about everything.
I agree with others – it’s way to hard to pick one item! I love
Trader Joe’s. I’ll pick the very first product that I fell in love with – their soy-flaxseed tortilla chips. SO good and reasonably healthy. Thanks for another giveaway!
We have to travel 1.5 hours to a TJ so we bring a cooler with us! We love so much but I would narrow it down to the honey sesame snacks and at Christmas time the peppermint Joe-Joes.
I love the fresh herbs and the pizza dough. Yum!
My favorite trader joes product is the frozen gluten free chocolate cake… yumm.. makes me want some just thinking aBOUT IT!
Love, love, LOVE Trader Joe’s! Used to have to get my fix when I visited my sis in Vegas, but now they built one down the street from me in NC! Yeah! The Thai Style Chicken Wraps are the best!!
I love their organic yogurt!
pasta. it is easy and good!

Love, love, LOVE Trader Joe’s! Used to have to get my fix when I visited my sis in Vegas, but now they built one down the street from me in NC! Yeah! The Thai Style Chicken Wraps are the best!!
We don’t have Trader Joes close by but when we do go we can’t leave with out getting a box of their Graham Crackers. Try them with homemade chocolate frosting, it’s the best.
My absolute favorite from Trader Joe’s is their bulgogi! It has fantastic flavor. It tastes even better if you pair is with jasmine rice and some fresh veggies. I don’t have it too often (especially since we moved away from a Trader Joe’s), but that makes it all the more better!
Sadly we do not have any Trader joes or any other fun stores like that but I have been there before and I LOVE IT!!! My son has so many food allergies I love all of their GF products they have to choose from.
Their dried mangos!! They have the best dried fruit and nuts!
My favorite would have to be the whole wheat pizza dough as well. Love it!
It’s very hard to pick just one. I’d go with the Orange Chicken (which I serve over TJ brown rice). Yum!
I love their Candy Cane Joe-Joes, I horde them all for myself at Xmas time!
My favorite is their Dark Chocolate Covered Espresso beans. =)
I love the frozen basil cubes and frozen garlic cubes. Actually, I like everything I’ve tried at Trader Joe’s, but I can’t live without the basil and garlic cubes.
I love trader Joe’s, and we finally live near one again! My favorite thing (sounds funny) is the Trader Joe’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil! Great oil at a fantastic price!
Their BBQ sauce is my favorite! We also love their pork gyoza dipped in some of their sweet chili sauce for a super easy meal!
Congrats Rachelle! Oh, I have so many favorites from TJ's! I'm obsessed with their eggplant hummus & Thai Shrimp Gyoza. We go through each of those in about a week.
No Trader Joes by me
If I win the cookbook though i can make my own Traders joes yummy goodness!
i have one where i’m from but not one where i’m living right now. sad!
i love the roasted red pepper and tomato soup, the quick indian food, the guacamole, the vanilla yogurt, the microwave brown rice… and i could go on forever!
I love their fresh pizza dough. They have 3 kinds and it is fast and so yummy!!
I love all things TJ’s – but my favorite thing is their Thai carrots in the frozen section it’s a quick and exotic side dish when you are rushed! And their orange chicken – to die for!
I love TJ’s too!! A couple of my favorites are their bruschetta (YUM!) and I love love LOVE their peanut butter cups. They even have those tiny ones that are so adorable.
I wish we had a Trader Joes. I heard they are amazing! I would love to try the brown rice you mentioned~
Love their hummus and their pizza dough!
I don’t know if I can pick just one thing of theirs that I like, but some of my favorites are the garlic naan, frozen berries, and organic plain yogurt. My husband adores their toffee, so I always pick him up some when I go.
I do have a few favorite foods, but my all time favorite thing that TJ’s sells are the daffodils at Easter time. They come in little bundles that almost look like asparagus, and they’re only about $1 a bunch. When you put them in water at home, they bloom overnight. Such a fun little Easter gift.
This is easy. My favorite is the Peppermint Jo-Jo’s. I participate in an online book group, and during the Christmas season those who live near a Trader Joe’s take orders for those who do not, and kindly ship boxes to them.
I have actually never been to TJ’s but I am planning on making a trip there THIS Saturday! I can’t wait!
I love their mandarin orange sauce and their premade wheat pizza dough. But my husband loves their chocolate covered sunflower seeds!
I can’t stand that we don’t have a Trader Joe’s in Kansas City. I get excited when I go to Cali and get to visit the store. My favorite convenience food is Buitoni angel hair pasta with their light alfredo sauce. So simple!
I used to love the Trader Joe’s frozen chicken burritos but I haven’t seen them for a while. So for favorite item *currently* stocked: I’d have to go with the rainbow swiss chard.
I lOVE TJ’s! There are way too many great things to just pick one! But, here is one of the best- Jo-Jo’s, vanilla flavor.
Hi Jenny! I love the Chili Chicken Lime Burgers! They are fantastic! Laurie
Ok, feel bad for me because we have no TJ’s. I’ve never even laid eyes on one! My favorite quick meal is taco soup using mainly canned goods. So quick and oh so tasty!
We love everything Trader Joe’s but one of our favorites are the Apple Chicken Sausages. So good! And you can’t beat their prices either!
the hummus! and the fat free black bean dip.
Thai Red Curry sauce is my favorite. Saute one sweet onion, one red or green pepper and cooked chicken strips and pour in the sauce! Served over rice, it is so fragrant and a little spicy but not overwhelming. Dinner in l0 mins!
I just visited Trader Joe’s for the first time. I tried a bunch of stuff and really liked their Pad Thai dinner that came in a little take out box.
I don’t have a trader joes near us
I really wish I did though!
I guess my favorite grocery store convience food is steamfresh broccoli. It’s fast and easy and my girls love it.
I love TJ’s so much! I have to drive almost 2 hours to ours. I go at least once a month. I love their nuts, cheeses, Thai green beans (frozen) and don’t forget the Two Buck Chuck!
I love their frozen orange chicken. It is SO good.
I’ve only been able to hit the Trader Joe’s in Tucson once, but I really loved the trail mix selection. The one with the dark chocolate pieces was my all time favorite. Yum!
Alas, no Trader Joes in Austin. I do love H-E-B’s dried pineapple, though. YUM.
