Have you guys ever had those peanut butter and jelly candy bars? They're the best thing in the store hands down.

I like tjoes to stock the freezer for when I'm too lazy or busy to cook actual food. Their wine and cheese, bread, and salsa is also better than the normal grocery store. For general produce and ingredients though it's not much use.

Typing this up reminded me how frusturating it is to find good bread in Atlanta. The only places that have it are Whole Foods and Trader Joes which are both too far from my house to be really convenient. I'm sure some hipster bakery makes bread somewhere but if it exists I haven't found it yet.

They had some Japanese fried rice that was fucking awesome.
I miss those butternut squash gyozas, too.
Plus super cheap bottles of actual legit olive oil.
And I always grabbed one of those huge bags of knock-off pirate booty.

I need to go back there.

Their frozen Japanese fried rice is GOAT, the one near my apartment usually has some good cuts of steak, so I usually go there for that and accouterments. Beer selection is usually whatever, since i have a specialty liquor store that supplies more of the same or lesser price, plus its chilled.

Their cilantro yogurt dip is fucking amazing. I like to dip those twirly lentil chips that they have in it. Basically the store is junk food heaven, but their produce and meat departments are lacking. They do have some good staple goods though, which I appreciate. Always stop by before going to a movie to sneak shit in.

TJs is a godsend to kids who just moved out on their own for the first time and want to feel like they're living like adults even though they had to use youtube to figure out how the microwave works.

I just hope for your sake that you figure this out before you're the middle aged hamplanet griping about "genetics".

Corn bread?

>> No.8605740

I work for a cold storage company that ships a lot of their frozen goods, and we get take home from product that arrives damaged/gets damaged during picking. Their fried rice is pretty great and their beef bibimbap bowls are awesome. Sadly there isn't an actual store anywhere near me so I can't really judge them other than what I get piecemeal.

When I happen to be there I'll get other food too, but I don't go very often - maybe a few times a year at most. I would never use it for my regular grocery shopping, but they have some stuff that requires no effort to "cook" that I like that you can't find other places.

Back in 2005, I went to NYC for the first time, and a friend and I had breakfast at a place of which I remember nothing - except that the orange juice was fresh-squeezed and was better than any o.j. I'd ever had before.

Trader Joe's fresh-squeezed comes the closest to buying that o.j. in a store. It's awesome and worth every penny. Makes Tropicana seem like Tang.

I like the buttermilk biscuit tins from TJs. Beats out the regular supermarket and national brands imo. Only get those for special occasions though. I do specifically go to TJs to get mandarins. Fuck everyone else's mandarins (incl costco). Also their bananas are really cheap. when I had less time to cook I'd buy their frozen meals of indian food which were pretty good. Their frozen stuff is good in a pinch.

I love trader Joe's but for the love of God avoid the Reddiegg carton egg whites. Horrible.

They mix alright into protein pancake batter, but don't ever scramble them unless you want to kill yourself
