The Trader Joe’s Thread

I know we have threads dedicated to specific beauty brands but I didn’t really see one dedicated or updated for all things Trader Joe’s. It could be beauty, skincare, haircare, household or grocery items. Post your finds here so others could be on a lookout of what to find or is newly released at their local store. It could also be something you think people should try. Their beauty section is so underrated and most people don’t even know they have a beauty aisle.  Their candles and seasonal items are amazing and they always have unique snacks.

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

I haven't tried these yet, but they do seem to be made to be a dupe for Necessaire.  The body wash bottle is made of metal.  To be honest, the bergamot scent of this wash is way better than the Necessaire one; it seems more of a straight citrus scent, whereas the Necessaire one kind of has an off-putting scent to me.

Looks like acreally fun set @ragdoll4mom 

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

Limited Edition Frick's Carver Ham.  $5.99 lb.  Boneless.  The rind is too tough to be edible, but it's lightly smoked (no asthma attacks!) and and pretty moist.  Kind of a very slightly spongy texture, like lunchmeat, but tastes better.

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

An easy idea using the Cowboy Caviar (comes in a jar.)

Layer chopped zucchini, black beans, boneless skinless chicken tenders, and a jar of the Cowboy Caviar in a baking dish.  Cover and bake at 350 until done.

It's really tasty.

Uncooked.Uncooked.

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

What a beautiful and delicious looking dish! So neat! @Ispend2much6 

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@Ispend2much6  This is delicious! and was a hit with the family  It tastes a lot like a southwest soup I make during the cooler winter months.

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@ragdoll4mom  I'm so glad you tried and liked it!  I'm thinking of serving it with guac and yogurt next time.  I love to bake, slightly less love to cook, but anymore I just want easy, healthy things to make. Do you have any easy favorites?

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@Ispend2much6   Most of the meals I make take a bit of time prepare.  I can't think of any quick healthy meals at the moment.  Sometimes we just need a quick meal though.

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

Anyone able to get the new mini canvas tote bags?  I tried I back in April and then yesterday and today called around and they are so hard to get where I live. 

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@SportyGirly125 I'm hoping to run to a Trader Joes next week, I'll have to keep an eye out for all the goodies you show!

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

Pumpkin season is here 🎃

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@SportyGirly125 > tried the pumpkin body scrub today, the jury is still out on that I think about it.

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

Ours didn't have many pumpkin/fall items yet, but, if you are a baker, run, run, RUN to get these vanilla beans!  They are sort of plump, soft, and have so much vanillin (the vanilla flavor inside) that they are leaking into the packages.) Only $3 for each pack of 2- an incredible deal.

And, chocolate.

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@Ispend2much6 I'm not sure if it's intensified by my mid afternoon love of snacks but that chocolate bar looks amazing!

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@missjeanie  It is!  Especially when you break off a square that has salt in it; it's not evenly dispersed. 🙂

 

Pretty sure it's Callebaut Belgian chocolate, and it's so fresh!  The only thing that beats this is when they have their 2 lb+ pretzel toffee bar.  Hope that returns this year.

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@Ispend2much6 I used to work in desserts and used a LOT of Callebaut over the years!  I love their chocolate!  Now I'm really going to need to stock up as I don't often see it for resale where I am now!

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@missjeanie   I'm kind of surprised, as your area gets more European brands than we do, of certain things.  You should know then that TJ's chocolate baking chunks (aka square chocolate chips) are also Callebaut, as are their 2.5 lb milk and semi-sweet baking bars.  You need a chocolate chipper or sturdy knife to chop those, but the price is incredible!

The cornflake bar is only $3.99. USD

I just baked some brownies using another favorite brand, Cacao Noel.  It's cheaper than a lot of the other brands too (it's from France.)  I like their 72% and cocoa powder. Waaayyy cheaper than Valhrona.

These brownies are soo good, but only if I measure carefully and don't overbake them.  I keep forgetting they are DONE when they puff. 🙂

Re: The Trader Joe’s Thread

@Ispend2much6 When I lived in Calgary and worked in pastries, Callebaut was one of my favourites to order in for the shop.  I only bake for fun at home now, and live in a much smaller more remote city, I usually switch it up with whatever I happen order online, or Lindt that I can pick up more easily in person these days.  I marked down the Cacao Noel to try out next time I place an order!  

That said, what a great tip on the TJ's chocolate! I'll have to grab a few extra bars next time I'm there!
