I love the falafels (so good and cheap), the Lentil Wrap sandwich, and the round Danish Pancakes.

TJs can be a heartbreaker, though. You find a favorite food and a few months later they'll stop carrying it.

CyberOm

Candy cane flavored oreos. Cheap beer. Wild mushroom flat bread.

The peanut butter cups will make you question existence at a whole new level.

I worked there years ago. My favorite thing was probably customers that thought they were in some organic health food store. Buying TJ's version of cheetos and saying "but, like, you know it's ok, because it's from trader joe's."

Kamehameha

Wasabi Almonds.

Wasabi Peas!!!

Trader Joe's is my go to grocery store. Yea don't be fooled by the TJ label, you still got to read the ingredient and nutrition facts.

OMEGA TREK MIX nom nom nom

Also raw crunchy unsalted almond butter and the almond butter with flax seeds. Sooo good. Try dipping apple slices in it!

Does anyone remember those dried hibiscus flowers? I can never find them anymore! Gah they were amazing. Natures fruit roll up.

Ohhhhhh yeah that's where it's at. Only downside is the price...I had to cut back because I realized I was spending $30 a month on almond butter.

Other than that my staples are

Mediterranean Hummus (best tasting and best price/volume)
Veggie chips with Flax Seeds
Organic Rice Drink- the elixir...That plus almond butter and a whole avocado in fruit/veggie smoothies makes something delectable... and full of good fats
Raw Cashews.. believe it or not Whole Foods has a better price for a 1lb bag but the one near me is always out of stock.

here i come along to cherry-pick the best items

I haven't been to TJ's in awhile, but I need to get back in the game. Those peanut butter cups are excellent! I used to sneak a few here and there from my roommates stash.

I'm making a list and many of the items in this thread are on it :) Thanks for posting everyone, I'll be snacking and eating like a chieftain the next few days!

TJ's non-flouride toothpaste is the best and cheapest natural toothpaste i have found in any store or the internet.

Their sprouted grain bread is great too.

Don't forget Charles Shaw wine for $2
Can't beat it when you're broke

Their dark chocolate in those red three packs are so good too!
