After reading an article about how steel cut is better than regular rolled oats, I decided that I would give it a shot after I ran out of my usual Quaker Oats. I had never really investigated all … more
Last night while shopping for some un-pan apple pie and pumpkin pie ingredients for Thanksgiving, I was able to pick up Trader Joes Frozen Pie Crusts. I never had tried them before, or knew … more
Let me just start by apologizing to all devout-Trader Joe's shoppers. I know, I've been there. In fact, I started shopping there more than 20 years. Very friendly employees, … more
Seriously though, it's like my little oasis. A truly happy place. My kid gets a balloon... I get amazing selection of what is basically a curated grocery experience, crazily low prices (without … more
As the headline states, yes, there's a reason why my friends call me a Trader Ho. It's because, well, I am. I'm a ho for Trader Joe's, and I'm not afraid to admit it (I'm also a Cost-Ho, but … more
I love Trader Joe's more than I should. Having a house party? I'm headed to Trader Joe's. It's the only place to get the best cheeses, cheap but fun and amazing wines, great and inexpensive fruits, healthy … more
I like milk. I am not vegan. But life throws in surprising twists here and there so now I can't consume any dairy because my breastfed infant has milk protein intolerance (it's temporary, yay!). I am … more
Go ahead, try it, have JUST ONE, I dare you! There is no way you can do it, that one cracker has at least 15 friends that want to be in your tummy too. This is a snack that is … more
I absolutely LOVE Trader Joe's. Being a chef and finding such great food and wine in one spot is always good. I have not been near one in quite some time … more
Admittedly, I have a severe addiction to dried fruit. 9 times out of 10 I think I might like it more than fresh fruit - it's easier to eat and a little sweeter - nature's candy! This is extremely helpful, … more

I was first introduced to Trader Joe's when I was attending college in California, but it probably wasn't until I moved to New York that I realized how much I loved that little grocery store. When … more
I saw this at my local TJ's the other day and had to give it a try. It tasted even better than I expected... like buttery roasted sunflower seeds, yum. I ate some of it on toast with some … more

I don't have a Trader Joe's near me, and that is the only reason I don't give them 5 stars. It would be nice if they had an online store too. Otherwise, … more
I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's grocery stores, although I can''t shop there exclusively because they don't have the, er, bad, unhealthy junk food I like. For example, Pepsi. Hey, a girl occasionally needs … more

I totally dig Trader Joe's! I shop there for my staples: canned beans and tomatoes, pastas, basic cheeses, milk, eggs, and so on. When it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, however, I find their selection … more

A great choice if you want food without a lot of crap in it but don't want to pay crazy prices. Also, great selection of fairly priced wines. Love the honey moon, velvet moon...any of the moons!
