So is there anyone who doesn't love Trader Joes? Great pre-prepped food, fabulous flash-frozen fish, the least expensive organic produce anywhere, and the only place I know where I can routinely get great bottles of wine for less than $5 a piece. And did you ever notice that all the people who work there seem so genuinely happy?
So as an ode to TJ's, here are some of my favorite things to buy there:
1. Basmati and wild rice pilaf -- it's got very reasonable sodium levels, enough flavor to make it interesting, but not enough to overpower the delicious taste of the basmati rice.
2. Caponata -- the TJ's brand of caponata is fabulous -- as good as any homemade I've ever had.
3. Roasted red pepper/eggplant dip -- it's got an amazing kick to it
4. Their bagged salad greens -- easily half the price of what you'll find at any other supermarket
5. Bite-sized pita chip crackers -- no better accompaniment to hummus, dips and spreads
6. TJ's white bean and basil hummus . . . luscious
7. TJ's smoked apple chardonnay chicken sausages (all of their chicken sausages are wonderful but this one is my absolute favorite!)
What are you favorites?
