I use TJ's to supplement things I can't get at our co-op (or that are outrageously expensive at the co-op). I'll occasionally buy some veg there, but it's definitely not up to par with the farmer's market/co-op. Usually mushrooms/onions/pepper/etc for breakfast if I'm shopping on Friday night. I do like their fresh figs when they have them....cheaper than elsewhere and I love figs.
I also REALLY miss their wine.....apparently one in New Jersey has wine and I've been tempted to make a run up there at some point...stupid blue laws.
On the regular list:
-greek yogurt (maybe 1x/month, it makes a great starter for my own yogurt the rest of the month....)
-bacon. I like the applewood smoked bacon ends (cheaper, and we usually chop it up to put in eggs anyway)
-almond/flax butter. sometimes I'll switch it up and get peanut, but I really like the almond/flax
-nuts/trail mix to keep in my desk
-dark chocolate (also for my desk...)
-olive oil. The Spanish stuff is GOOD and cheap.
-real maple syrup, fairly cheap and darn good in my oatmeal
-frozen fruit
-chicken chili, not the best food ever, but good to keep in the cupboard for emergency dinner
-thai tuna curry (red/green). This is one of those appears/dissappears items. White box with pink or green label, chunks of tuna in fairly spicy/decent curry sauce. Falls into the emergency dinner category...
I'll occasionally buy some kind of treat also.... favorites so far: chocolate mochi, some kind of chocolate/peanut butter/wafer things (mmm!), peanut butter filled chocolate pretzles, salted carmel chocolate bars (these are new, and they tend to be messy, but worth it)
