    I shop a lot at Trader Joe's. Honey, quick-cooking steel cut oats, cheeses, frozen teriyaki chicken, Thai green curry sauce, chicken sausages, cats cookies, frozen fruit especially mangos, nuts & dried fruit are some of the main things. And chocolate.... I don't care for some of the pre-seasoned prepared foods- chicken marinated in a curry sauce and pollo asado are both very salty to me, and some of the frozen mixed vegetables have a seasoning I don't care for.

    I'm a regular at Trader Joe's. However, as others have said, they don't have everything, so I also shop elsewhere.
    Some of the items I purchase include nuts, chocolate, soy milk, organic tortilla chips, fruits and veggies, dog treats (I've found they have dog treats made in the USA, many places have them made in China and I don't trust that).

    Trader Joe's has good price/quality on nut butters, cheeses, kefir, vinegar, olive oil, jam and yogurt. Prices on Cliff and Pure bars are better than elsewhere. I love their Cuban-style canned black beans. Hummus, beet salad and pre-cooked lentils are good.

    I don't like their breads, and their cottage cheese is too salty.

    If your TJ has a wine store, they have good wines in the $6-8 range.

    The employees are generally cheerful and helpful, which is a pleasant change from a lot of stores.
