Hello my pious Breatheren,

We have a religion, it is true, of Costco and the deliverance of the $1.50 hot dog and UNLIMITED REFILL pop, may PBUC...but have you heard of, one, Trader Joe? His prophecies also bring much bountiful blessing to your life if you should go and seek it.

I have enjoyed a harvest such as...



Not as spicy as you would think, it actually has great flavor and a low heat that builds up the more you eat it. An excellent accompaniment to any sandwich and party event.




An excellent, delicious, truly crisp and flavorful meal courtesy of Joe's cousin, Trader Ming, an Asian Brother from another Mother. In 10 minutes I had a really good easily prepared meal. The Fried Rice was also fluffy and light.



A very good sweet treat with right size and portion after your meal.

It is my hope our two religions may peacefully co-exist but this is a good path to discuss. There is much Trader Joe's offers.

A Nazi who was sent into the jungles of Africa searching for the ancient human civilization of Thule. He emerged a decade later to find that the war had ended and established himself as a local trader in goods before stumbling upon a wealthy and eccentric young German tourist whose identity and fortune he stole, going on to become a successful businessman in postwar Berlin

Always have a tub of these in the fridge.

Their fresh pre-made section is rad too. I like the ground turkey stuffed peppers, spring rolls, crunchy slaw salad...

A rocket fuel made of Doritos? Yeah, I could kind of see it.
I've been mad at trader Joe's since they discontinued the last good potato chip on the market, the most perfect snack food, the blue bag of Hawaiian style, whole potato, kettle fried chip with only salt. The products that replaced it are all reconstituted potato crap that have a color and flavor akin to lays or Pringles, and they're all more expensive. The worst part is they continue to stock the same type of chip but with flavors on it.

Give me back my perfect potato chip!

These are good. I prefer the Lamb Vindaloo or even vegan tikka masala tho but toss in some of the nann and it's :discourse:

I find the quality of TJ's frozen chicken including their orange chicken to be kinda iffy. Their orange chicken used to be really good like 6+ years ago but everytime I've had it recently, it's been poo poo and weirdly gristly or w/e and kind of offputting. I don't eat it anymore but the box of orange chicken at costco seemed much better quality.
Potstickers are still good.

Trader Joe's frozen pizzas are legit some of the best frozen pizzas. The margarita pizza is great as is the one with red peppers and pearl onions. I really like the bambino pizzas for late night :420: snack, the sauce on it is pretty darn good. They used to carry a deep dish pepperoni but that's been gone for a few years now, rip.

The frozen Mac and Cheese is still top tier despite how easy mac and cheese is to make but it's a good cheap price so w/e for a lazy dinner. I think the hatch green chile one is a dumb gimmick though, it doesn't really add anything except cost. The "reduced fat/less guilt" is a joke tho because it's literally just half the portion at still 70% of the cost lol

The TJ Greek yogurt is also really good like passionfruit-guava and the citrus medly. I like the strawberry icelandic yogurt. The big container of just plain yogurt is really good and has minimal sugar which is hard to find at a grocery store for whatever reason.

There's actually too many good and cheap products to even think about

Gonna give a heavy recommendation to the frozen Chimichurri Rice. That poo poo is delicious. I should go to them more often, but the one nearest me is just fat enough away from me and everywhere else I buy food that I rarely go.
