Yeah they are pretty sweet even by cookie standards. Good with a cup of black coffee.

I agree with this.

My limit is one and I’ve got a hell of a sweet tooth.

Trader Joes DOES sell stuff other than cookies and TV dinners for yuppies

Yeah they have a solid chip selection as well.

As an aside The Trader Joes brand "Premium" wines are actually really good. The Cab they have is super drinkable for the $7-8 they are asking for it. I recommend checking them out.

Edit: They call it their Reserve brand. Really good stuff for the price imo.

Looks like the crunchy habaneros in oil finally rotated out since the last time I got some. Copped a jar of this stuff, not nearly as spicy

This stuff is ok. It’s not nearly as good as this stuff though,

ZINDREW CHILI Crunchy Garlic... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VNQC99W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It’s legit.

The Trader Joe’s reserve wines they stock are really good and priced just right.

Just tried the Zindrew X Batch this week and it's great. Respectable heat, good flavor (tastes a lot like General Tso's chicken with the chili and MSG). Not sure if I prefer it to TJs crunchier blend for frying my eggs yet, but I'll probably get another jar.

That’s great to hear!

Went to TJs today for a Saturday snack / drink shop and my wife and I both remarked that we don’t recall having anything actually bad from TJs.

Sure some stuff isn’t amazing but never had anything flat out bad there.

I really kinda miss the walnut raisin loaf though. It’s been replaced with an olive loaf and I’m not the biggest olive fan.

The Steak and Stout pies are like a million calories but they are pretty good.

I also picked up some lemon ice cream and will report back later.

The cashier dude said the horchata ice cream is also legit good.

The lemon ice cream is indeed legit good. It’s a bit rich for me but it is fantastic.

The Jam filled heart cookies are also banging

The frozen mini tacos are pretty legit. They need a dipping sauce though

Do one little bowl of salsa authentica, one of sour cream BUT water the sour cream down so the consistency is closer to a smoothie or maybe like a fairly thick soup. Local taco place does that and it makes dipping infinitely easier.

lol it’s probably creama and you can buy it at the Mexican markets.

Black bean and quinoa tortilla chips are always a pro buy, and the ghost pepper potato chips are also pretty good.

Heads up if you like the dry salami my Trader Joe’s has the packs of ends and tips for 5.99 for 1.5lbs

I bought two packs but I should have bought more since it will last 10 years in the fridge.

I think the fake chicken one is also pretty good.

Even to a TJ regular a TJ parking lot is a nightmare. gently caress every TJs parking lot.

Pretty much the only one that wasn’t a poo poo show was the one in hermosa beach because they converted a Ralph’s grocery store to a TJs.

The store also rules because it’s like 2x the size it needs to be so everything inside is super spread out.
