I went there for the first time yesterday...in the middle of the afternoon...wrong time to go.

I felt rushed by the crowds and ended up buying things I didn't really need, however I did like the grilled eggplant Parmesan. What's your gotta have product? I'm planning another trip and I'm looking for ideas

Love their individually packaged almonds for snacks. Can keep them in my purse, car, desk at work.

Love their flash frozen fish. Cod, Halibut, Mahi-mahi, vegies always fresh. Love all the heirloom tomatos.

I got spicy soy & flaxseed tortilla chips (yummy), black bean taquitos, bean/rice/cheese burritos, chicken/spinach/fontina sausage, black bean & corn enchilada , roasted chicken and garlic sausages, spinach and artichoke dip (yummy), grilled eggplant Parmesan (yummy), spinach lasagna, high fiber cereal bars ( excellent for keeping me regular), goat cheese & sundried tomato ravioli and Parmesan and garlic pita chips. These are my try me selections. I wish I had gotten some fish or shrimp though

I wish we had a Trader Joe's.  I always hear people talking about their stuff...

Their produce, that's it.  I have never been a Trader Joes fan, most of what I buy ends up in the garbage but they do have decent produce.

I know, I am in the minority.  HA!

Love Trader Joe's. Some of my favorites:

Hope it helps on your next visit. I find early AM or just before they close is the best time to go.

 We love their flash frozen tuna and shrimp. Other favorites from Trader Joes are hummas, sesame rice crackers, garlic salsa and their produce. I haven't had surgery yet so some items may not work post op.

There really nothing that I ever "need"f from any store. But basic foods: veggies, proteins, and some very complex carbs. 
I was really exited when Trader Joe open the store in town... only to realized that they had not as good price and selections as other stores already in my town.  So now - I don't shop there anymore.
