I have a couple of these in my freezer and I want to cook them. Though, I can't tell if the product is already fully cooked or not? The suggested cooking time is so short that I assume they must already be cooked?
Brought this home today! It is delicious. If you love feta, you will love this. I halved some baby bell peppers, spread some of this, and topped with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning. Sooo good!
Yogurt Question for the Lactose Intolerant
Does anyone know if any of the yogurts at TJ are lactose free? I am making a trip this week, and typically grab the Fage Best Self at my local store but looking to switch it up. Someone mentioned that Greek or skyr yogurt may in fact be lactose free..
So I finally broke down yesterday and brought the Kringle because of all the post and random comments I’ve seen about it. I just don’t get it is it just that the pecan is cloyingly sweet and I picked the wrong time of year/flavor to try?
Is there any way to make this taste better (yes I heated it up) or do I just accept defeat and throw away 7/8th of a Kringle.
Also what’s that one TJ product that’s been a total no for you that everyone else seems to love.
As the title explains, I need some Valentine’s Day recommendations. My girlfriend loves the cute little snacks and random stuff like candles from Trader Joe’s, and I was wondering what everyone recommends of their Valentine’s Day items. Also she loves orchids and I don’t know anything about flowers, but any florists know something she may like that is similar from Trader Joe’s? I get it’s a lot I’m asking haha anything is appreciated.
Like a pack of plain, dry rice noodles you can boil, rinse, and toss with any sauce/veggie/protein.
I just picked it up for the first time to try it out to try something different other than my usual Fage 0% and I do not think I like it as much.
I like my yogurt, a little bit thicker and this is just so runny and thin , not to mention it’s also a little more calories per serving than Fage.
I see there is a new “thick and creamy” Greek yogurt from Trader Joe’s. Has anyone tried that one and can compare it to the original?
Hello all! I am looking for the best tasting greek yogurt recommendations from Trader Joe’s that you love. Zero flavor as I am using it for baking.
I’m preparing a small care package for a few of my friends who need some support right now due to job insecurities, money issues, etc. I’d like to get X and O gummies, chocolate (cocoa) truffles, a rose candle and rose hand cream.
Does anyone have some other “must not miss” chocolate or other ideas? This will be sent in a USPS priority mail box next week. Thanks!
Grapefruit in particular.
I thought they were a little gummy and didn’t have a huge amount of flavor. To me, not worth the 120 calories a piece
I have made Portuguese donuts at home a few times and they are fantastic so when TJs had these it was a no brainer to at least try them. No cooking required, just thaw and eat. Don’t attack me but they are just “OK”… not bad per se but more than a little dry. I whipped up a honey water mix and soaked them a bit and they were much better.
SO good, honestly reminded me of an elevated zebra cake 😂
What is your optimal mix for the buttermilk pancackes?
Drove a few hours to Media, PA, not too far from Philly. Very nice town, lots of people walking around, had a festive feel. I met a bunch of friends and went to eat at a brewery, and that’s when I saw the most interesting Trader Joe’s I’ve ever seen next door. It was in an old building, I could see a marker with historical information, but I was running a little late so I took this quick picture. Never went back to do a proper one. The building was built in 1907.
“The building was designed by famed Rose Valley architect William Price; the earliest occupants were the Cooper Rifles from Philadelphia. It was the departure point for soldiers in World War I, and the longest continuously used National Guard Armory in the state until the turn of the 21st century.”
Pretty neat!
Lots of pictures online better than mine.
My boyfriend is heading to TJ's right now. If chaos gummies are gone for the season, which other gummy comes close to their texture?
Don't get me wrong, I love the TJ one. But I'm a cross the border shopper and with the current exchange rate, plus having an infant, it's just not logical to make the drive or spend the money like that.
Since most TJ things are nearly the same as some other brands (and quite a few are actually from Canadian grocery chains), does anyone have insight on an alternative? I need just ginger as the ingredient (especially no sugar/sweeteners due to an allergy).
Thanks so much!
Howdy y'all. I was addicted to the Almond Danish and got it all the time when I lived in Phoenix. We moved to Texas and went to both TJs in our area and they did not have it and employees said it is either regional or discontinued. Wondering where in the country it is and/or if there's a way to get it sent to where I live now? It's too delicious 🤤
These were sooo good!

I’m planning to make a box of the Gingerbread Cake Mix, and I want to put cream cheese frosting on it.
I’ve used TJ’s brick cream cheese on bread/bagels, and it’s fine, but the texture is different from Philly cream cheese. So I‘m wondering if that texture difference will matter when making frosting.
Has anyone used TJ’s brick cream cheese for frosting? If you have, how was it? Should I stick with Philly?
Thanks!
This seasonal holiday treat was underrated and not liked by many. But I tried this after Christmas, they were sampling this cookie by an enthusiastuc employee who loved it when I went shopping after Christmas. She gave me suggestions how to enjoy and appreciate it more. I tried it a few days ago, and continue to as I appreciate the dense but somewhat hard texture. The spices were just right, balanced, and lightly sweeten with a very thin layer of royal icing on top. Highly recommend when drinking with hot tea or coffee.
i bought some last year (can’t remember the season) and am desperately waiting for it to return. i can’t find anything like it anywhere else.
