The Official Trader Joe's Shopping Guide

Last night I WISH I had access to everyone's suggestions. I feel like there's so much to see in that store that you just miss. So add your suggestions..

Mine are TJ's Kalamata Olive Hummus,
persian cucumbers and
Minestrone soup (in the prepared cold foods aisle).

Black bean & corn salsa

YES!!!! Just got this for the first time. I put it on my omlettes to make a 'southwestern' egg white omlette. I put it on my brown rice too for some flavor. Its delish!

Also, TJ's pizza sauce and pizza dough is awesome! Just used them both for tonight's dinner.
