When it comes to shopping, there's nothing I love more than trying new TJ products!

I start Ph. 2 on Monday, too. And, amazingly, I just found out that a new buiding is going up around the corner from me and TJ's will be the flagship store. I seriously am counting down the days. Between the Whole Foods and Trader Joe's I may give up regular grocery stores entirely.

and a great great great reduced fat smoked gouda...

-Light String Cheese
-21 Seasoning Salute (salt-free)
-Balsamic Vinegar spray
-Roasted Edamame
-Salmon Patties
-Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk (thanks to Lorka!)

and many many many other things...i love that store and literally can spend HOURS grazing...damn. hehe.

Nut butters
Greek Yoghurt
dried slab apricots
beans (with no HFCS)
WW crackers (like Triscuits)
Kashi cereals I haven't found at other grocery stores
WW pasta

-dried unsweetened cherries and dried unsweetened apple rings

There is another link that was started a while ago with this topic--Trader Joe's must halves (2 pages of ideas)

http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/for ... hp?t=63320

The next time that I update my recipe summary, I will add a section in the very last area (Assorted Info) for these two links.

I'm very excited, we've been waiting for months for the first Atlanta Trader Joe's to open. I had been told it would be at a location about 15-20 minutes away from me. Just foudn out last night there's one opening just 5 minutes away from me!

Hooray! (I've missed you Joe.... I'm so glad you came looking for me!)

by **Robin120** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 12:41 am

1. WW Light bread
2. Reduced carb tortillias- They are whole grain and higher in fiber than the regular whole wheat wraps
3. frozen roasted bell peppers
4. roasted edmame
5. macademia cashew butter
6. peach salsa
7. soy cheese
8. all those cheap produce like broccilli shreds, bean sprouts, and the squash that is alreay cut up, etc...

I am making my first visit to a Trader Joes this weekend. I thought that I would read this link and the one here: http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/for ... hp?t=63320

I made a list of what everyone said they like, but if anyone has any new ideas or things that they have tried, please add them to either of these links.

by **JamieM** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 6:35 pm

What do y'all do with edamame? I've seen it but haven't tried it yet.

I love smoked gouda! I'll have to look for it there.

I personally am crazy about their natural peanut butter. It's the BEST I've ever had (and cheapest! It's only $1.69 a jar or something like that).

LOVE the dry roasted almonds.

Alouette cheese is fantastic.
Oh, and the stevia is the cheapest I've seen anywhere.
