10 Trader Joe’s Favorites

January 23, 2014 by A Savory Feast 10 Comments

traderjoesWhen Trader Joe’s first came to my area, it was the place to go! There wasn’t another location within hours of us so everyone who knew of Trader Joe’s spread a lot of hype and got everyone else excited! To this day, the store is packed almost every time I go.

For me, shopping is just as much about the experience and Trader Joe’s is definitely an experience! I also love the great deals and yummy food they have. I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite items to get at Trader Joe’s. What are yours? Be sure to share them with me in the comments below.

1. Lobster Ravioli – I made these with a vodka sauce that I also purchased from Trader Joe’s and it was amazing! I try not to eat pasta often so when I do I go all out with something like this.

2. Boneless Beef Rib Eye Steak – Hands down some of the best steak I’ve had!

3. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups – WOW! I love that these are made with dark chocolate. The problem with these are that I eat way too many!

4. Thai Red Curry Sauce – Use this sauce to make my Healthy Chicken Quinoa Curry. This is one of the best curry sauces I have found. They also have a yellow one that is good as well.

5. Coconut Body Butter – This is the only item on my list that isn’t food but I just had to include it because it is my favorite lotion! It works better than anything I’ve tried.

6. Strawberry Non-dairy Frozen Dessert – Mmmm! I love ice cream made with coconut milk. It’s so smooth and creamy and has a really great flavor. I like this strawberry one the best but they also offer several other flavors.

7. Chicken Gyoza Potstickers – Making homemade potstickers is a lot of work, so when I’m wanting an easy side dish to go with a meal, these are great. I just fried them up in a pan of oil and they were ready in just a few minutes.

8. Dark Chocolate Bar Caramel with Black Sea Salt – I love anything with chocolate, caramel and sea salt (as you can tell on my dessert Pinterest board).

9. Swiss Dark Chocolate with Whole Hazelnuts – Ok, I realize I like Trader Joe’s sweets wayyyy too much! They have displays of chocolate right by the registers and they get me every time!

10. Mini Heart Cookies – One last chocolate item. These are seasonal but they offer them in different shapes for several holidays throughout the year. They would work great as a decoration on cupcakes as well.

    I miss having a TJ’s anywhere close by. The lobster ravioli and Gyoza are two of my favs.

    Ahhh, what’s not to like about Trader Joe’s? 🙂 Like your Trader Joe’s ours is ALWAYS packed, it’s super popular here in Oregon. I think the only thing I’ve seen in our store if the peanut butter cups! I think I need to look harder 🙂 Some of my favorites are : Cookie Butter (every once in a while), their greek yogurt, String Cheese (it comes in a purple and yellow bag. To me, its the best string cheese around. I won’t eat anything else!) and their mint chip ice cream is so good 🙂 Oh and you can’t forget their Peppermint Joe Joe Cookies that come out around christmas! I sound like I eat bad, but these are some of the delicious treasures they have in their store, haha!

    I buy lots from Trader Joe’s but there were only 3 things here I’ve had before. We like the Lobster Ravioli. I will buy this when we do appetizer/movie night. I just cook them and then toss with a little olive oil and feta crumbles. I also LOVE the dark chocolate caramel sea salt bar! And lastly, my the mini heart cookies are a big hit here. We also bought the mint ones around Christmas time. Yum!
