Here’s how to enter:
Leave a comment and tell us what your favorite Trader Joe’s product is. If you do not have a Trader Joe’s in your area, I feel very sad for you, so you can just tell us your favorite quick and easy to make dinner using convenient foods from the grocery store. It’s a hard choice, but my favorite Trader Joe’s product is the frozen brown rice that can be microwaved in 3 minutes and then of course the sesame ginger almonds, mmm! Ok I LOVE it all!
Contest ends Monday morning at 9:00am PST. I’ll announce the winner shortly after. Good luck everyone!!!
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!
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.
My favorite is their Dark Chocolate Covered Espresso beans. =)
I love their Candy Cane Joe-Joes, I horde them all for myself at Xmas time!
It’s very hard to pick just one. I’d go with the Orange Chicken (which I serve over TJ brown rice). Yum!
My favorite would have to be the whole wheat pizza dough as well. Love it!
Their dried mangos!! They have the best dried fruit and nuts!
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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!!
My favorite trader joes product is the frozen gluten free chocolate cake… yumm.. makes me want some just thinking aBOUT IT!
I love the fresh herbs and the pizza dough. Yum!
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 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!
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.
mm, I love trader joe’s! My new favorite is the frozen garlic. But I love their chicken apple sausages
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!
I love Vanilla Almond Crunch cold cereal and Multi-grain Pancake and Waffle mix.
my favorite is the pre-made pizza dough…the frozen desserts aren’t too shabby either!
I LOVE Their general tsao stir fry sauce. It makes a great chicken stir fry!
We love so much it is hard to choose. I LOVE the chocolate orange sticks, they are the best. My kids love the White cheddar puffs.
I love trader joes! I am just about to head out the door to get my weekly groceries there right now! Oh how to pick just one, I love everything! I love the frozen chocolate crossiants. So yummmy!
Kathleen Rucker: my favorite thing is their frozen white corn!
Our nearest T.J.’s is 1-1/2 hours away and I’ve never had the chance to go there. But, I have many friends from out west who rave about it. I hope to make it sometime in the next few months.
One of my favorite convenience items to have on hand is pizza dough. You can do so many things with it. But, all of us love pizza, so it is nice to be able to throw a pizza together in just a few minutes’ time.
I love everything at Trader Joe’s, but have recently been overdosing on their pomegranate white tea. They also have brown jasmine rice that you have to cook the old fashioned way, but it is so good and good for you!
I do not have a trader joes but I love making spaghetti and mixing it up. It’s always a favorite in our family.
I have to choose 1? Pizza dough it is!
I love their ginger thins. And the frozen tiramisu.
This is sooo hard because i love Tj’s and so many things that they sell. I will narrow it down to a few:) My family loves the mandarin chicken for a quick meal and I love all the cheeses they have. I ike the frozen rice too but I also love their frozen fish. When i mkae it you never know it was frozen.
We have a Trader Joe’s down the road from us 🙂 Infact I was there last night getting some nuts (good deals there!). Hmmm, my favorite item? Well how silly, but we like the white cheddar puffs.
Their prices are great for lots of things (I’m not much into prepared foods)so some other regular items I only get there are: frozen blueberries, orange chicken, fresh pepper mill, nuts (almond meal), vanilla, sushi….I’ve posted some in my Flickr. lol
I love Trader Joes and am so sad we don’t have one in Utah, but every time I get out to CA or AZ it’s always on my list of places to stop. I can’t think of one favorite..possible the fun carbonated drinks, at Christmas I love the peppermint jojos and I can go on and on. Next time I will have to buy the 3 minute brown rice though. Wow! On another note, saw you on the hamburger food network challenge the other night. So fun! My husband pointed out that you were from Gilbert and I should mention that my sister is running for Gilbert Town Council, so tell all your friends/family still there to vote for Jenn Daniels on May 19th! Sorry about the really long post!
I can’t believe I missed the cake giveaway!
Trader Joe’s is a staple for us. How to narrow it down to a favorite? The identity crisis tortilla chips, the chocolate covered cherries, the rice pudding, and the thai-ginger carrots.
Funny how I’m suddenly REALLY hungry!
