There's a whole rear end subculture around finding and trying all of the limited edition stuff TJ's has

On that note, they currently have a peppermint chocolate loaf cake mix and it is loving delicious.

My partner and I half-demolished one in the space of a day. (And I regret nothing.)

Until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
They're good, I like them a lot, they have great pre packaged stuff for when I'm busy and don't feel like cooking, but the location in my city is always missing poo poo I need for recipes like maybe one specific ingredient and it pisses me off cause then I gotta go to Aldi or Kroger. Also their meat is way expensive gimme that cheap steroid chicken.

I enjoy their steaks and chicken.


I really enjoy the brownie cookie bites as a fairly low cal desrrt.

I eat one of them.

Also the pork pot stickers are like tiny rear end calories so I'll eat two with orange chicken and fried rice.

We only have the one near us, so I'm not sure. Hopefully other TJs still have mochi.

You seriously have issues.

Go catch more racoons in a net and step away from the computer.
Trader Joe’s discontinues too many items and has too many that are only around for a limited time.

I get they have limited shelf space and each product is evaluated on turns and revenue but I hate when things just disappear.

Hell I think those dumplings are one of the longest lasting items and a founding father by this point.

They refused to let their workers wear masks and my neighbor's brother has had Covid three times because he works there. They pretty much suck as a company.

There's no way that's a company policy, is it? That's an incredibly dumb and pointless way to get into legal trouble. All I could find googling was that as late as May 2022, corporate required employees to wear masks. I've been to a couple lately and I still see some employees wearing masks. Not that it sucks any less for your neighbor's brother, but to me that policy reeks of one dumbfuck manager rather than an official corporate decision.

That is assuredly not a corporate decision, their stores remained opened and masked until the mandate was dropped in NM earlier this year.

I like how you can mix and match a six pack from their beer section. At first I was only taking loose bottles to avoid breaking up a six pack, until an employee encouraged me to combine anything on the shelf even taking from cans held together with plastic rings. Definitely a fun way to try new options without committing.

Back when there was a TJ's down the street I was all about Botswain, Oranjeboom and Peter's. They used to have this Egri Bikaver wine that was dope as hell and like $3 a bottle, too, but that's been gone forever.

Run away before you drown!
Just got back from a trip to Joe's, and his parking lot was overwhelmingly a loving nightmare as it usually is... but for some reason the store wasn't crowded. I don't know how that works out. Circled around 3 times, found no parking, drove down the road to a pay lot only to find out it was free for the holidays. Of course! Still had to shlep down the road with a shopping cart of groceries bouncing all over, in below freezing weather, but things could be worse.

At least Peppermint Hold the Cone's are back in stock, made my trip slightly less annoying.

The Trader Joe's pound plus giant chocolate bars are like 5 dollars for 17+ ounces of Belgium chocolate. They also come in milk and dark. These are a great deal. I used to buy them for making my opulent luxury brownies. Box brownie mix is trash BTW.
