My Trader Joe's Shopping list!

I love to shop at Trader Joe’s Market. When I first shopped at Trader Joe’s it took me awhile to fall in love. It was only a matter of time that I realized that they offer the best quality and tasting food products around. I love organic products and want to purchase them but I found them much higher than the regular products. I have found the prices are very reasonable at Trader Joe’s. The best part is that I don’t have to read the labels because everything is healthy. They exclude the use of unsafe additives like hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. I have tried everything in the store (almost) in the last few years. Here is the list of my favorite items.

Trader Joe’s “Must have” shopping list: (in order by aisle in my local store in Raleigh, NC)

TJ lobster bisque (near salads in the chilled section)

TJ Tomatoe bisque (near salads in the chilled section)

** The baked section with fresh cakes and pies are also good. Whoopie pies are out of this world. Especially the pumpkin ones with creamcheese filling
** I will add more to this list as time goes on. You have to try this market if you have not done so. It is worth a trip if you don’t have one locally. I use to travel an hour to shop there. I would carry my insulated bags and my frozen goods would stay cold for up to 3 hours even in the summer. So I could shop when I was in that area but didn’t have to rush home.Hope this list will help you and save you time! Please leave your favorite trader joe items!
