If you think the TJ direct wine is good, you are getting fooled. I'm convinced it's just water, ethonol, and artificially flavored BS made in a lab. They are good marketers.

On a positive note, love their frozen Indian dishes.

Typically Costco is my go to for charcuterie in pre-sliced/packaged form, but TJ's does have some fairly decent stuff.

I just tried the "stir fry" riced cauliflower; it has peas, tamari, onions, sesame, ginger, etc. A tasty alternative to rice as a side w/a simple teriyaki chicken or beef.

Frozen red shrimp.
As others have said, the frozen Indian dinners are on point.
Hatch Valley salsa. Nothing better on scrambled eggs.

wut?

they have tons of different wines (not just 3.69 buck chuck) and you'd be hard pressed to spend over $10 of any of it.

if you haven't gotten the 'tea tree shampoo' you're missing a life-changing moment.

its like $3 and the only shampoo i've used in the last 5 years. nothing makes me feel more refreshed out of a shower.

also the $1 bagettes are great. toast it, cut into pieces and add a little butter. YUM. i don't normally eat bread but i love these.

- Riced cauliflower stir fry in the frozen section is one of my favorite buys at Trader Joe's. Awesome flavor and great to pair with a protein (i.e. chicken) for quick meals.

- Like the above, pair protein with Superfood Pilaf is for a quick meal.

- Cabernet Pot Roast is nice for the slow cooker + pair with carrots.

Went last week to check out the holiday offerings.

The Butter Toffee Pretzels are ridiculously good.
They have some frozen bacon-wrapped scallops that were really good as well.
And I had a sample of a bourbon cake that was good and bought a box of mix, but haven't made it yet.

Went tonight after work. Got a handful of frozen Indian dishes (had palak paneer for dinner). I also picked up the stir fry cauliflower. How is it spice wise? Curious if I need to spice it up when preparing it.

I really like their harrisa they make.
