I think I'm in the minority but I've yet to like TJ's, the wife likes to buy stuff and I admit when walking through the store a lot of items make me think oh shit that might be good only to turn out to not be good lol. That said my youngest is obsessed with these chai mints they sell luckily I know enough people that make regular TJ runs so I don't have to go down.

The noodle is wider and catches sauce better than any A-Sha variants. Which I believe I've tried them all.

Got a bag of these last week. Just tried them. Actually different enough to be good.
Plus, of all things, they're Made in Canada.
Tiniest Chocolate Chip Cookies. https://www.traderjoes.com/home/prod...cookies-076369 https://www.thekitchn.com/trader-joe...okies-23567874
I just left a spoon in the bag, gulolol. Pour it in da mouth. seal up the bag then repeat............ until they're all gone. Damn, they're addictive. Gimmicky, for sure. $3.99 USD for a small bag. Kind of on the expensive side. Christie's Oreo Mini's on sale $1.49 Day Save-On-Foods. Much better value.
The cookies look like something they might have at the Bulk Barn.
UPDATE! https://www.bulkbarn.ca/en/products/...p-cookies-1313

Cot Dam it!
All out of Squiggly Nudes. Second week of October, maybe.
I always go to the, “What’s New,” end cap. Saw this Cake mix called, Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Roll Blondie Bar.” You know it’s good when only three boxes are left on the shelf. I don’t even bake, but gonna give it a shot.
They finally got some Kringles in. Pumpkin variety. Short Dated, so didn’t get it. I should have, because you can freeze them. https://www.traderjoes.com/home/prod...ing-mix-074649 https://www.ohdanishbakery.com/seaso...aramel-kringle

Daughter asked me to pick these up for her. I made the mistake of asking for Philly cheesecake bao, lol. Girl says, "All the cheesecake stuff is in this section." I was like, what? Anyway, I asked another person and they said, "Yeah, those are over here. You meant Philly Cheese Steak, right?" I was thinking Philladelphia Cream Cheese at the time. Anyway............ just made some last night. Nothing to write home about. Kind of like the Kimbap. After the hype and trying it out, they're, meh. https://www.becomebetty.com/trader-j...teak-bao-buns/
While there, I ask about the Figo. Guy went to the back and came out with one and said, "It's free............. Once in a while we can do that." https://www.traderjoes.com/home/prod...ch-bars-074742
Score! Until I got home and realized they were expired, LOL. Still good.
As mentioned previously, not everything at Trader Joe's is good. This shit is bordering on the worst thing ever made/sold at Trader Joe's. So bad I had to throw them out. I couldn't bring myself to give it to the birds, as they might die on the spot, gulolol. https://www.traderjoes.com/home/prod...-crisps-075555

Origin of female name comes from translation, "Lover of Horses." Makes sense

Damn............ guys at TJ's must like me for some reason. I went in the store with my usual go to TJ's, red with black strap, cooler bag. As I got to the registers, I realized I had the wrong bag. It had "NFG" written all over it (because it has a broken zipper). Anyway, I mentioned it to the guy at the till. He laughed at the NFG labels. As I was paying, the guy goes off to the front of the building and comes back with a brand new bag. Wow.................
Got the usual Philly Bao's and these amazing treats. https://www.sweetontraderjoes.com/20...ds-review.html
Also, TJ's Tea Tree Tingle Body Wash........ tingly beats powdering any day............... MG1 senses tingling.
