What's good at Trader Joe's? (Srs)

Always thought it was a poverty Aldi type grocery store that caters to hipsters and maybe it is. But my GF asked me to swing by after work and pick up some cauliflower gnocchi (dafaq) that her stupid friend told her to try so here I am. I don't want to make a detour and go through the whole process for some $3 cauliflower chit so I might as well try some other stuff if there is anything you guys think is worthy. Lmk. Reps for srs responses

Their frozen stuff and condiments are good.

Their fresh stuff is kinda trash.

Frozen:
Caccio de pepi pasta
Vegetable masala burgers. (Eat them as a side dish, not as a burger lol)
Breaded chicken strips
Pasta arabiata

Their basic hummus is bomb
Jalapeño artichoke dip
Fresh orange juice
Pre made Chinese salad bag

I liked getting flour tortilla there. No preservatives and it will spoil within a week, but it's really good.

Oh man that cauliflower gnocchi chit is all over eating disorder Instagram. I've had it before and it's questionable, but definitely for "volume eaters."

Most everything there is really good, especially in the frozen section and condiments. For frozen stuff I like their Orange Chicken, Beef and Broccoli and Pelmini. For condiments I really like their chili onion crunch, amba mango sauce and everything but the bagel seasoning. The jicama wraps are cool too. The Manhattan Deli Pickles are vile, I don't know who the f came up with that concept but they're one of the worst things I've ever put in my mouth!

I thought it was just some soyboy cuck place, but went there when I was in Santa Fe as it was literally the only grocery store around. Honestly surprised at the quality and prices.

My mom gets me a whole Tiramisu from there every Christmas. It's da bomb!

They also used to have these cookie things, I can't remember exactly but cranberry something. Really good! Haven't had in forever so don't know if they still have them.

This is painfully true. The one by my house has a line out the door the entire time it's fukin open.

But if you do go OP, do yourself a favor and get their jalapeno and habanero hot sauces. Hnnggggg

I buy their beef pastrami and snickerdoodle cookies all the time. They have a microwave protein muffin that’s double dark chocolate and tastes delicious. I eat one with a glass of milk sometimes after a workout.

I probably banged your mom.

A few of the cashiers are decent at mine. Otherwise I’ll go to the other brother's store Aldi and pay half for the same $hit with different packaging.

^^^These shiit all over regular oreos.

Trader Joes has a great dessert and freezer section in general. Decent cereal selection. They also have good preseasoned/marinated roasts and tenderloins.

Just a heads up, my wife tried that cauliflower gnocchi because she really likes gnocchi. But she said it was disgusting

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, nonsubjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

That’s a decent stout. Had it, had the variants, have some aging.

I was impressed at how good it is. I would definitely choose it over many other highly rated stouts.

Trader Joe's is basically a meal prep service now. I used to eat one of their prepackaged curry sauces and also some of their snacks.

Don't judge a cereal by its box. The box is dull as hell but this is the single greatest cereal I've ever had in my life srs. It's perfectly sweet and has this crunchiness that's kind of weird to eat dry but when you put milk on it it get's absolutely perfect.
