I get their appetizers a lot cuz they’re good to have on hand when friends are chillin. I like their spanakopita. They used to have a spinach and kale pie that I LOVED but I guess no one else liked it, because I haven’t seen it in a few years. Their tiny frozen tacos are really good. Beef is best but chicken is ok. Their orange chicken is really good and sells out pretty quickly.

One thing I always buy is their chai tea bags. It tastes just like the celestial seasonings chai that was discontinued. Really good.

Don’t buy meat there, you’ll almost never get a good deal. Produce is hit or miss, almost always better prices at your local grocery if you don’t care about the BS organic labels. Trader Joe’s is best for trying new snacks, not for big grocery runs or if your list has a lot of staples on it. Sometimes I buy their white bread, but it isn’t really better than the higher/mid end bread you get at your regular grocery store.
