Trader Joes or Whole Foods must haves
 

I live in the boon docks and have been to a Whole Foods once in my life. We are going to St. Louis Wednesday and will be close to both a Whole Foods and Trader Joes. What are the things you buy at Whole Foods or Trader Joes that you love either Yorkie or human things. The last time I was at Whole Foods I bought some of their olive oil and love it, going to get more of that.

I am addicted to the Pita Bite Crackers. They are so good. I always have three boxes in the house ! lol

Trader Joe's

Plain Greek yogurt for veggie dip base
Caribbean Flo bars (frozen)
Indian Fare Madas Lentils (boxed)
Chocolate chips

TJ's Coffee Bean Blast Ice Cream:dribble:
Unsalted Sardines in Spring Water for the fur butts.

Seaweed snacks
Bison Rib Bones (fresh/frozen) for the kiddos

Sounds like I need to take a cooler for all the new things I plan on trying. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I can shop in a store other than a Walmart. How sad is my life when I get excited about going to a grocery store!!!!

I have never been really close enough to a whole foods to know what I like from there.. so this list is from Trader Joes and these are the must haves Ive been getting every time I do make it to a Trader Joes over the years (the closest one is a 1/2 hr from me, so I don't go there often) I buy things that are quick & easy to make for lunches or dinners for 1 person, so most of my TJs purchases are frozen foods.

- their brand of Salsa (I get the mild & hot and mix them together)
- their brand of Gazpacho soup
- Biryani Rice (now its a frozen meal with veggie dumplings, still good)
- Flax seed Tortilla chips, the 3 different veggie flavors
- Nuts about chocolate & raspberries trail mix!
- Frozen Orange chicken
- Frozen garlic french fries
- Garlic Naan bread
- Frozen Sheppards Pie (this is absolutely delicious)
- Frozen butter chicken meal
- Frozen mojito salmon
- Frozen bagged carrots with ginger glaze (I haven't seen this in awhile, but its awesome)
- frozen asparagus risotto
- Almond butter
- Frozen bibimbap bowls
- their brand of Organic Chicken broth & vegetable broth

I don't bother buying meats, much dairy, breads, fruits, veggies, etc... the one near me doesn't have a good looking veggie/fruit area, they always look old, dried or shriveled. I do get raspberries there bc they keep those refrigerated and the prices are always really good on them for some reason.

I think I gave you enough things to buy! LOL

Thanks everyone for all of the good suggestions. Looks like I am going to need a second cooler.

Bubba and Sissy love the trader joes Beef liver, begging treats.
I love their coffee

TJ's is way better than WF. WF is so overpriced on everything. Their laver snacks (korean seaweed) is like $2 a pack, and at an Asian market they're like $3 for a pack of nine.

Pretty much everything at TJ's is good.

:cheers::cheers::cheers:TJ's has really good wine. It's very inexpensive, but good. I first heard about it from Clark Howard on ABC. One women had four boxes in her cart...six bottles per box!
