Julienned sun-dried tomatoes (in a short jar)...no weird after-taste, Bolognese sauce (in a big jar), frozen fettucine alfredo (great with grilled chicken on top), their own Charles Shaw wine (shiraz is an award winner), their brand of irish bangers, guacamole, Parmesan cheese, salsa, chips, organic eggs, and whatever else looks yummy. Looks like I just gave you my shopping list for the week!

Just do your shopping there -- it's much easier. The only thing to avoid is the "green" dish soap (washing-up liquid) as it's totally useless.

Weetabix, it's cheaper at TJ's than anywhere else I've seen.
Organic ketchup
Peach preserve (it's more like a jar of chopped peaches.)
Veggie Chips.
Sheepherders bread.
Lemon verbena bar soap
Curry

Tell them to get their a** over to CO. Their cherry jam is great. The frozen gorgonzola and walnut pasta is good. I do miss them, as we had one nearby in MA.

There's a Trader Joe's not too far from my house. We shop there maybe once a year at the most. Am I the only one who thinks it's just another grocery store?

Hush. You have Wild Oats to go to, and Good Times Burger & Frozen Custard.

Ummm.... best to try one bottle before buying crate-loads. If you like the stuff that's great. I'm not a wine drinker, but Mrs Bill is. She's sampled TJ's cheap wine... and wouldn't drink it if they paid her the $2.50 per bottle.
