Synergistically Seasoned Popcorn. I picked up a bag on Wednesday's little trip to Bellingham.

Oh, they had some Raspberry Kringle at the Bellingham location. I'm not a raspberry fan, so I ignored them.

So I bought a couple bags of Synergistically Seasoned Popcorn. And holy shit it's pretty good. Wish I bought more!

Went down to Bellingham today (Wednesday.) Picked up some Dark Russet, Kettle Cooked, Potato Chips. Nothing fantastic, but really good taste and texture. Just like the over cooked crispy fries you get once in a while at a diner or burger joint.

We got those last time as well. Good chips, oily though.

MG1 04-24-2022 12:54 PM

I'm off to Bellingham tomorrow, but not sure what to get at TJ's. One thing I purchased last year and won't again is this..........

https://www.traderjoes.com/home/prod...asoning-060255

Not enough flavour (weak). There are so many Furikake out there that this is just, meh, at best. My favourites......... https://www.nagatanien.com/products/

Nothing like kombu tsukudani or nori tsukudane like https://www.nan-ban.com/en/product/gohan-desu-yo

Furikake, guys, not bukkake................... sprinkle vs douse, lol.

I didn't even think of that... I guess my pr0n level is still too weak. Or maybe our preference is different :lawl: :pokerface:

Back to topic... friend went over today and dropped me of a box of the seasalt chocolate coated almond... damn I forgot how fucking additive that thing was. By the time I realized, I finished 2/3 of the box myself.

Well, then, I guess I'm gonna get me some............... thanks.

If you see any Trader Joe thermo bags let me know, my last trip down, their stock got diminished from the long weekend shoppers.

No cooler bags whatsoever...........

I asked my daughter if she wanted anything from Trader Joe's. She said two boxes of cookies, please. They're called Cookie Butter Cookies. If she wants two, they must be good, right? So I got three. Opened the box and had some just now, as well. Damn............ shortbread cookie sandwich with cookie butter filling.

My favourite cereal of all time is Trader Joe's, "Just the Clusters Ginger Almond & Cashew Cereal." As soon as the borders opened up again after the Covid lock down, the first thing I purchased was a box. I finally opened up that box. Wow, still as good as I remember, but.......... I almost lost a few teeth. The crystallized ginger pieces were more like tiny rocks. I carefully ate a bowl of them. For the last month or so, I couldn't find any on the shelves. I just called them and sure enough, they are discontinued. The good news is, it's easy to make your own. When I make my own, I'm going to make sure the ginger pieces are soft. I guess a trip to Galloway's..........

Forgot just how good this stuff is especially on eggs

rich

Finally cracked opened my bottle, put it on some eggs and tastes absolutely amazing.

Would definitely recommend!

MG1 05-02-2022 07:52 PM

I was there this morning......... next time, I guess.

I picked up what I think is a thermal bag from Trader Joe's this past weekend in Southern California. If it's the black one with a plastic-type of lining inside, it worked really well even when the bag was exposed in the sun. It kept our cool drinks cold and without the help of any ice packs.

68style 05-03-2022 01:09 PM

Should keep your balls in there too, heat kills swimmers yo

Go further south, like Seattle.............

I've got a couple of red, one blue, two black, a super beat up white original one............. would love to get a purple and pink one. Friend of mine lives in LA. Should bug him to look for those and send them up.

Hondaracer 05-05-2022 04:04 PM

Not trade joes but you guys looking for cooler bags, Costco Willingdon has 3 different types on those middle aisles right now, two soft ones and one soft outer with a more rigid inner frame

Hehe 05-05-2022 10:05 PM

^

Not sure if it's the royal blue/grey one I got. Those are nothing comparing the TJ one, which I have too.

I'm here now at the Bellingham location, looks like tons of stock for the popcorn and habanero peppers.

Kind of sad that they're out of stock for the orange chicken though

EDIT: still no thermal bags here

EDIT2: Made a rookie mistake, forgot that WinCo ONLY accepts cash or American debit

Still have to try the Orange Chicken I got last Monday. Stock was low, then. I go every Monday, so I'll keep checking for those cooler bags. Hopefully, the purple and pink ones arrive soon. Definitely have to get more of them Sea Salt and Turban Sugar Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds.

MG1 05-17-2022 09:53 AM

Went to a couple of Trader Joe's in the Renton/Burien/Seattle area. No cooler bags, but damn, aisles were fully stocked. Not busy at all. I think there were more workers at the stores than customers. One of Trader Joe's trademarks - over staff is best policy.

Anyway, I'm signed up to receive e-mails from them. Latest one from today.............

Holy, Hanna Barbera, Banana Fritters? And, dark chocolate covered bananas, ftmfw!
