What’s the single best thing these guys sell?

Their frozen meals are mostly very good

They sell these divine chocolate truffles that I'd kill someone for.

Flowers.

For me it’s the frozen lasagna

>>21438494 (OP)
Their single best things change constantly, actually.
There have some great spice blends at the moment, such as the elote and 15 spices. I use their Sofrito topping for italian dishes frequently. It's big flaky pieces of garlic chips, sun-dried tomatoes, and herbs. I like their green goddess spice blend on baked potatoes on top of sour cream. Their "super chili crisp" is a nice copycat. Calabrian chiles stuffed with goat cheese, is my favorite pizza topping, right from the jar.

curry chicken salad tub,
pistachios, sesame crusted cashews

next up is fresh bread, usually something imported from brooklyn, like the dark sourdough rye, the bag of flatbreads for making pizza, maybe some pastries of the week or the chocolate babka

cases of starfruit seltzer, some kind of craft beer of the season

freezer case always has good finds, as do the chocolates, cookies and gummies above them. Last trip I got the frozen key lime pie and tres leches, both were outstanding. There will be items NOT at any other groceries. Look closely. They are known for their tamales and international items.

Ube yogurt pretzels
All nuts
Dehydrated vegetable snacks w/ rice bran oil
Powerberries
Cheap houseplants
Norwegian rye chips

>bad or overpriced
All their meat and dairy
Most frozen meals (bland and all taste the same)

>>21438556
I thought the tres leches was gross personally, but I love tres leches and I’m pretty picky.

I wish they’d bring back the plain sticky toffee pudding around Christmas. They only had pumpkin sticky toffee pudding this last year at my store, and it’s not as good

This post will go thoroughly ignored but by golly, their frozen peas are the best frozen peas I've ever had. I am deeply moved by their flavour. I regard those peas as among the great peas. Eight out of ten shoppers could happen by, expressing any preference they please, but I would spurn then and their frozen green orbs. I am a man who has met his main pea.

Their EVOO is a good deal

Aldi is the same parent company and sells the exact same products but without the hipster labeling and steep markup

trader joe's is owned by aldi nord but operates as a separate entity. "aldi" stores in the US are owned and operated by aldi sud. TJ's and Aldi do not source their products from the same place.

This sounds great. I usually buy the cheapest ice cream but ill make an exception

Kefir
Lamb vindaloo
Soup dumplings are surprisingly good
Interesting sparkling water flavors that rotate seasonally

I go once a week

>>21438494 (OP)
Brie. Their double cream stuff is untouchable for the money.
I like that rectangular pizza thing with prosciutto as well.

>>21438596
i will remember this post and report back if similarly moved

They have good deals on good wines here and there

>>21438596
Interesting, I'll try them out. I usually buy store brand frozen peas but this post has inspired me

>>21438544
Their flowers are great

>>21438545
it was for me too
but I think the quality has dropped some since the pandemic

Most of their stuff is pretty good but for some reason the lip balm they had in stores TEMPORARILY was the best I had ever, and will ever use. Smelled great, kept my lips actually chapped unlike chap stick which is a devious j*wish trick that actually makes your lips more dry

If I remember right they sell organic cosmic crisp apples for $1.29 each, and I really like their potato salad

These flatbread pizzas never last more than a day if I buy one

>orange chicken
>teriyaki chicken
>kung pao chicken
take your pick. they are all right next to each other. the broccoli beef is spicy, not in a good way and kinda shit unfortunately.

I buy 15 of these and usually nothing else

>>21439225
>kung pao chicken
Their kung pao is restaurant tier honestly. Maybe not good restaurant but at least better than panda express.

>>21438494 (OP)
These

>>21438494 (OP)
The cheese spread. Favorite paring is the garlic naan crackers but it's good on lots of stuff.

Cheaper compared to other grocery stories:
>milk
>butter
>eggs
>veggies
>bread
>canned San Marzano tomatoes
>pasta
>Olive Oil
>imported cheese
>meat

Trader Joes specific products:
>frozen bake at home Chocolate Croissants
>BBQ Chicken Teriyaki
>Beef Bulgogi
>Beef Lasagna
>Frozen potatoes and peppers

Do you ignore a passing microscopic space fleet as you was passionately eat your peas?

>>21438545
This. You need to treat them like frozen 'zah and add your own shit to the top.

>>21438494 (OP)
The little chocolate chip cookies in the plastic tub. On days where I'm feeling really down in the dumps, I'll open a tub up, top it off with frosted flakes & fill it with milk. By the time I eat the flakes, the cookies have all gotten soft & mushy. So damned good.

>I thought the tres leches was gross personally, but I love tres leches and I’m pretty picky.
Mine was still semi-frozen when I sliced into it. It had the wrong topping, which should be marshmallow (boiled frosting), not whipped cream.

>>21438631
>Aldi is the same parent company and sells the exact same products but without the hipster labeling and steep markup
I do not find the same products argument to be true outside of the trail mixes and spices, occasionally. It's pretty different. I actually enjoy the german element of Aldi during the seasons like oktoberfest and the holidays.

The dog biscuits are a good mini treat size and passes the sniff test. My dog approves, in other words.

The flatbread pizzas are crispy like a cracker when cooked on a stone. They are amazing and fast.

what's weird is how my Belgian ALDI has some of TRADER JOE's stuff, but no other shop does

>>21440146
you know you just make yourself look stupid when you post that. Is it suppose to be a "gotcha". Nothing listed in there is this big weird thing for any sort of frozen baked good. its not even that many ingredients.

flour, butter, water, chocolate, sugar, yeast, conditioner, salt, wheat.

>>21440133
I said 'take your pick'
Kindly edit your post to remove me

>>21440146
Literally none of those is out of the ordinary. Soy lethicin is the emulsifier in chocolate. Nothing else there is at all exotic. We all know this, you just out yourself as a retard when you post ingredient lists that you can’t understand

>>21440205
>nothing wrong with emulsifiers because they're in everything in the first place
lol

>>21440249
You probably don’t even know what an emulsifier is

>>21440360
All I know is that as an emuchristian, I am to reject emulucifer and all the chocolatey goodness be stands for.

THE CHOCCY MILK

>>21440133
The knockoff takis they make

These are ridiculously good but the bag is way too small for $5

>>21440860

>>21438494 (OP)
I get the orange peach mango juice, cowboy caviar, and fiery chicken vindaloo. Everything else is really faggy.

for me, it's...
dijon mustard
sesame snacks
shawarma chicken thighs
cheese (brie and manchego are my favorites)
frozen pork gyoza / pot stickers

>These flatbread pizzas never last more than a day if I buy one
Agreed, had one today and it was very yummy

Recently I've taken a liking to their Thick, Bold & Spicy Red Sauce. Buying flatbreads (pita or naan) and dipping them in this sauce is quite nice.

I love Trader Joe's but their bread gets moldy shocking fast, I bought a loaf of sourdough from them recently and it started developing mold spores in 2 days.

>>21445543
Shocking

I get their enchilada sauce and put it on chips with cheese and onions

>>21445490
>petite peas
Those.

trad joe

Their bibimbap bowls are really good.

>>21440135
I can't recommend these enough. Sure they require some planning to set them out the night before, but they're better than getting them from a bakery.

This.

>>21438494 (OP)
Probably bread. I've honestly never had a bad item from trader Joe's, but their bread is priced great and is pretty dang good too. I'll never forgive them for ditching their marble rye though

>>21438494 (OP)
I really like their dehydrated mangoes

The mint ice cream cookie sandwiches are amazing, especially if you eat them right when you get home and they’ve softened up.

Insanely delicious for how easy it is

>>21438494 (OP)
One pound bars of Belgian chocolate

>>21445558
Alright I picked up a bag and…

THEY’RE DELICIOUS! Thanks for the rec, I’m going to stock up next time.

>>21439995
I am not a dog in a pub eating a cheese sandwich.
>>21445490
Yeah, like >>21445558 said.
>>21449361
Oh, neat. Glad you like them, too.
I don't know why they're so vastly superior to even national brands. The only other that came close are Aldi's petite peas but the Trader Joe's ones are noticeably better at only a 5¢/lb cost increase.

Yes, yes I do. Burning gas is a waste of both time and natural resources when electricity can do the exact same thing faster, and more efficiently.
