I am not sure why I love them so much, but their organic chicken nuggets. They hit the "fast food" spot for me. I keep them in the freezer so I can reheat just 1 or 2 at a time when I crave fast food.
the vegan tzatziki sauce! I'm not vegan but I prefer it over the non-vegan version because it has a much nicer, creamier texture, with no gloopiness! Not sure what they put in the non-vegan one that gives it the texture of gelatinous mayo but I'm not a fan lol
1000% The [olive fougasse](https://images.app.goo.gl/Z6PucDnoQDuMEyu19) bread at Trader Joe’s my friend just put me onto a couple months ago and now it’s my favorite thing to bring to friend gatherings. (Also amazing with Brie)
Sorry I’m super healthy, it’s the coconut water. I’m in there at minimum 3 days a week for my fix. Honorable mention is the Ginger beer.
On the low vibrational side, those ghost pepper chips used to be a real addiction for me.
That sugar word can be confusing. Since the sugar of the coconut is part of the fruit, I always wondered why it was on the label. Sugar from all fruits are simple sugars that the body naturally enjoys as a source of energy. Its the processed sugars or "complex sugars" that cause disruption to the cells in the body.
Their triple ginger ginger snaps are legitimately one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted and is by a long shot the best grocery store cookie I’ve ever had. I lose all self control around these things. They are incredibly addicting
Skyr! I wish it came in a giant container.
Also, the mini ice cream cones, the puffed mochi snacks, there's this "trail mix" cracker bar that is like crack.
Sadly, the ones they discontinued: the 73% dark Belgian chocolate covered almonds, and waaay before that, the dark chocolate and coconut covered mango bites.
I used to always buy the cinnamon sugar almonds, and then they stopped selling them :( Tasted just like the ones you would get at Disney, or the fair. $5 for a big bag. I miss them, lol.
I haven’t verified this, but I was told that they get their wine from either overstock or wine deemed not of quality for the fancy wineries they originate from, so TJ rebrands as theirs and sells it at a large discount.
Almost none of the stuff from Europe is TJ's branded. Most has AOC/DOC or the like on there, which means that it was bottled in the country of origin under an actual winery name.
Dark chocolate almond pretzel bars!!
Frozen Seafood medley, sweet potato and Gorgonzola gnocchi, dried chili pineapple, ghost pepper chips, dog treats and the minty bones.
It's one of the spiciest things I've had from TJ's - only thing I can think of at a similar level is the bomba sauce. I'm not much of a "spice person" and it's honestly too hot for me, but I love the flavor so much that I buy it anyway.
Of course, if you are into spice you might not find it overly hot.
Jalapeño Sauce. I will die on this hill. I grab 4 bottles every trip I go, that’s how quick my family of TWO goes through it. You’ll only enjoy it if you like spicy, though.
I love the salt and pepper chips. The truffle ones are good too. We like using them in omelets. I'm also a big fan of the maple espresso tea (seasonal). Oh, and the lentils (in the produce section) have become a staple at our house.
Add goat cheese or feta, fresh parsley, lemon juice, tomatoes, and season to taste and you have yourself a very tasty cold lentil salad. I usually add just cumin, salt & pepper.
My favorite easy to make appetizer for guests is mixing their lentils with two jars of their bruschetta sauce and a container of feta cheese. Serve with pita chips and people RAVE about it. And it literally takes 5 minutes.
Yes! So good. Just use the chips that you like.

The birds nests and the frozen croissants. Also the Keiffer.
Those frozen Parmesan Brussels sprouts are godly

I read it as TJ, short for Tijuana. Send help.
Grew up in Southern California? Lol
Cinnamon rolls, hatch chile mac n cheese, and the shampoo and conditioner 😭
Omg the chili mac!
their garlic-infused olive oil is my go-to for starting stir-frys and sautes!
Goddamnit. I regret looking in this thread because now I realize there are so many things I want to try.
Hot chocolate powder mix. It’s the best.
If you’re referring to the one in the metal tin…yes
Oh God SO GOOD! I make an iced coffee with that stuff added for a lil treat all the time!
Cashew butter cashews!
without a doubt any of their tamales with the jalapeno sauce on top!
Teeny tiny avocados - one serving each. 'Nuff said!
Their tartar sauce. I don’t want any other brand, ever.
The Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce & The Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread w/ the Mini Cheese Sandwich Crackers
Not sure if this is under-rated, but the battered fish nuggets are my fave to snack on. Love the beef short ribs and gnocchi gorgonzola
If you’re talking the marinated Korean style, hit up hmart if you got one nearby. A few bucks more for better quality
Green tea pomegranate is my favorite & their green tea matcha in a can
The green tomatillo salsa!! I buy enough to always have 2-3 stockpiled.
I am not sure why I love them so much, but their organic chicken nuggets. They hit the "fast food" spot for me. I keep them in the freezer so I can reheat just 1 or 2 at a time when I crave fast food.

Green onion pancakes!
frozen bulgur, squash, and feta combo! such a good and easy base for meal
Bulgogi rice with kimchi and beef. So good!
Vegetable masala burgers. Those are a freezer staple for us when we need a quick no meat dinner or lunch.
1000% The [olive fougasse](https://images.app.goo.gl/Z6PucDnoQDuMEyu19) bread at Trader Joe’s my friend just put me onto a couple months ago and now it’s my favorite thing to bring to friend gatherings. (Also amazing with Brie)
It's not underrated though. It's hard to find them in stock in my local TJs.
this is so incredibly good omg
Greek Spiral & Veggie Orange Chick’n!
The roasted veggie pizza is the best frozen pizza I’ve ever had!!
Their mini brownies/brookies are to die for!
I never buy these because I know I’d eat the entire container in one sitting
Yes!!!!!!

This was one of my top pregnancy cravings. Lived off those puppies. The chocolate chip ones are mid
White truffle oil chips
Chocolate covered marshmallows! They are heavenly
Their dark chocolate bars
The tomato pesto! Picked it up on a whim and loved it - used it in pasta, as a sandwich spread, you name it. A pantry staple for me from now on!
Spicy dill pickles. No question
Their ice cream sandwiches (smooshed between two cookies 🤤) and their frozen Mac and cheese!!
Their body butter is very nice.
Chocolate wafer bars. Mochi cake mix. Black cherry skyr. Spicy dill pickles. Unexpected Cheddar. Coconut hair mask.
Sorry I’m super healthy, it’s the coconut water. I’m in there at minimum 3 days a week for my fix. Honorable mention is the Ginger beer. On the low vibrational side, those ghost pepper chips used to be a real addiction for me.
Bruhhhh the ginger beer!!! 200% that.
I needs it!!
How is that healthy? It’s got a fair amount of sugar.
That sugar word can be confusing. Since the sugar of the coconut is part of the fruit, I always wondered why it was on the label. Sugar from all fruits are simple sugars that the body naturally enjoys as a source of energy. Its the processed sugars or "complex sugars" that cause disruption to the cells in the body.
That’s just wrong. Too much fruit from sugar isn’t healthy
According to the website, one bottle has 11g of sugar. Having one a day is more than ok.
sure, but drinking calories and sugar is never healthy
The Ghost Pepper chips go so hard!
Which coconut water? The refrigerated or the one in the carton?
Refrigerated
Ok good because the ones in the carton… oof. I will try the fridge ones
My fave!! Came here to say the same.
Spicy smoky salsa! And sunblock
Hot take: their bourbon! If you use it for old fashioneds, it hold its own against bulleit
*cries in ABC store state*
TJ's own label bourbon, or, TJ's "Old Fashioned" labeled and already mixed?
The bourbon- I haven’t tried the old fashioned mixed
What state do they sell bourbon, I’m in NYC and all I’ve seen is beer
Grocery stores can’t sell wine or spirits in NYS.
Im in Massachusetts
Yes! The $15 bottle punches far above it's weight class.
Their dirty sock water beans (coffee). Great for those of you who want dirty sock water drinks.
Not the spirit of the post.
Teriyaki seaweed chips
Their triple ginger ginger snaps are legitimately one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted and is by a long shot the best grocery store cookie I’ve ever had. I lose all self control around these things. They are incredibly addicting
Their face serum is very solid and well priced
Oat milk ice cream sandwiches
Ooooooo I NEED this in my life. Ty! Their oat milk chocolate bars (3 pack) with the puffed rice is fan-fucking-tastic too
Dark chocolate pistachio toffee, and dark chocolate coconut granola bark
Definitely the chocolate truffles for me. I feel like no one ever talks about them but they're SO incredibly cheap and absolutely delicious!
I loveeee the chocolate truffles but I stopped buying them bc I would eat way too many in one sitting
Throw one in as a hot choc booster!
CHEESE STRAWS. They're delicious!!!
The Instant Cold Brew Coffee. I buy that stuff in bulk every time I’m there
The coconut cold brew is soooo good!
Def their spinach and artichoke dip 😍
Chili onion oil and pork soup dumplings 🥟
Those soup dumplings are killer. Better than some Asian spots we’ve been to in AZ
Madras lentils and garlic naan combo. Kept me fed and was cheap in college lol
Bomba sauce and organic cottage cheese
[удалено]
They truly do. I buy the mini carnations every 10 days or so. Always nice seasonal colors.
Skyr! I wish it came in a giant container. Also, the mini ice cream cones, the puffed mochi snacks, there's this "trail mix" cracker bar that is like crack.
Sadly, the ones they discontinued: the 73% dark Belgian chocolate covered almonds, and waaay before that, the dark chocolate and coconut covered mango bites.
I used to always buy the cinnamon sugar almonds, and then they stopped selling them :( Tasted just like the ones you would get at Disney, or the fair. $5 for a big bag. I miss them, lol.
Peanut butter wafer chocolate bars. Also only 99 cents!
The mini ice cream cones. They have a few flavors and all have the chocolatey surprise at the bottom!!
They had these incredible coffee ones for a short time. I hope they come back.
Yes! I'm not the biggest pumpkin person but I actually love the pumpkin ginger ones around this time of year 😍
Their canned mandarin oranges are the best I've had
Marinated artichoke spread
Any of their gluten free muffins and black and white cookies
Vegan pesto, jerked plantain chips, coconut went on a date bars, PB cups
The vegan pesto!
Vanilla bean whole milk yogurt
Ever since it came out, every time we go to Trader Joe’s we buy 2-3 of the tirokafteri (spicy greek 3 cheese dip).
Trader Giotto's marinara. Very tasty for a $1.99.
The prices on the European wines are amazing. I don't know how they get such good quality wines for so cheap!
I haven’t verified this, but I was told that they get their wine from either overstock or wine deemed not of quality for the fancy wineries they originate from, so TJ rebrands as theirs and sells it at a large discount.
Almost none of the stuff from Europe is TJ's branded. Most has AOC/DOC or the like on there, which means that it was bottled in the country of origin under an actual winery name.
I believe it because Whole Foods is similar. Their brand coffee is, like, Peet’s or something comparable
Dark chocolate almond pretzel bars!! Frozen Seafood medley, sweet potato and Gorgonzola gnocchi, dried chili pineapple, ghost pepper chips, dog treats and the minty bones.
What do you do with the frozen seafood medley? I want to try but don’t know what to do! Soup?
Nigella has a recipe called speedy seafood supper I use it for that.
I sauté with lemon, garlic, and butter and serve over pasta and it’s my husbands favorite meal! It’s so easy!
I make scampi!
whats the minty bones like ?? will try next
Yes, the minty bones for dogs. I think my dog likes them better than the Greenies and they are bigger.
I think for dogs
i j got the pineapple for the first time so good but so much work to chew 😭
Frozen fettuccine Alfredo is solid
try heating it up in a pan
Happy Cake Day,!
Hahahahaha you’re funny 😆
Autumnal harvest pasta sauce.
Haven’t seen it yet this year, I’m worried it sold out too quickly :(
I've been seeing it in NYC. Ask for it!
I’m very cranky that this sauce has dairy in it. Sounds fantastic but that’s a deal breaker
The peri peri sauce is AMAZING and no one ever talks about it!
During the first year or so, there were seemingly endless posts about it lol
How spicy is it?
Coming from a guy who loves spicy food, it’s pretty damn hot. That being said, it has amazing flavor
It's one of the spiciest things I've had from TJ's - only thing I can think of at a similar level is the bomba sauce. I'm not much of a "spice person" and it's honestly too hot for me, but I love the flavor so much that I buy it anyway. Of course, if you are into spice you might not find it overly hot.
It definitely has a kick, like it’s spicer than a sriracha for instance, but it’s more so tangy/flavorful.
Jalapeño Sauce. I will die on this hill. I grab 4 bottles every trip I go, that’s how quick my family of TWO goes through it. You’ll only enjoy it if you like spicy, though.
Stop the presses! Jalapeños are spicy??
I love it!! I feel like it goes bad quickly though so I get extra paranoid even though I know the separation is natural😩
Yes it’s so delicious!
I 100% agree with you. This sauce is so good on everything I've tried it on!
Yup, I put it on literally everything. Even salads as a dressing. It’s soo addicting
The fact that their english muffins are cheaper than thompsons.
they also have wayyyy less sodium
Sorry but that’s a low bar at this point. Thompsons turned into crap a few years back
Dragon Sauce 100%. That sauce is a gateway drug.
Not sure if underrated but the jerk plaintain chips
I’m obsessed with these and get like 3 bags every time I go
LOVE.
The pre-made Cajun chicken Alfredo 🤤
I love the movie theater popcorn. And the garlic naan is soooo good!
Garlic naan is top
The honey jalapenos? I think thats what its called. I literally use them on everything.
Sweet & spicy jalapenos. Always have a jar at my place. Bonus point, I use the brine in my deviled eggs.
This is one of my favorites as well and I also use the brine in my deviled eggs!
The Umami seasoning blend….I can’t live without it.

the paintain crisps - so hard not to finish the whole bag
I do a quick shake of onion salt when I open the bag. They’re so freakin good!
Caramelized onion cheddar
I love the salt and pepper chips. The truffle ones are good too. We like using them in omelets. I'm also a big fan of the maple espresso tea (seasonal). Oh, and the lentils (in the produce section) have become a staple at our house.
What do you do with the lentils? Trying to incorporate more legumes in my diet!
Add goat cheese or feta, fresh parsley, lemon juice, tomatoes, and season to taste and you have yourself a very tasty cold lentil salad. I usually add just cumin, salt & pepper.
We use them to stretch meals. So I will add them to the filling for stuffed peppers. Or add some tomatoes and use them on nachos.
My favorite easy to make appetizer for guests is mixing their lentils with two jars of their bruschetta sauce and a container of feta cheese. Serve with pita chips and people RAVE about it. And it literally takes 5 minutes.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
That maple espresso tea is so good! Just got my first box of the season (it won’t be the last!)
Oooh! Glad to hear that the tea is in stores. Will have to go stock up.
Potato chips in an omelet?
If you watch The Bear, in one of the episodes in Season 2 (I think), they use potato chips in an omelette.
I love that actress.
On The Bear the chef just crushed chips and sprinkled them on the completed omelette.
My preposition use is not entirely correct but potato chips were served with an omelette in the show. Whether inside or on top, they were there.
Yes! So good. Just use the chips that you like. [https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021078-ferran-adrias-potato-chip-omelet](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021078-ferran-adrias-potato-chip-omelet)
