There are many things that I enjoy from Trader Joe’s. I regularly purchase their fresh farm raised salmon. I find that it is superior to the chain supermarkets and is even fresher than many salmons that I purchased from Costco and more expensive fish that I purchased from AJ’s Fine Foods on a few occasions. So far each salmon I purchased from Trader Joe’s has come out amazing and usually better than what I get at most restaurants.

The Israeli Feta Cheese is the best feta cheese that I have found in a store.

I have had Greek feta cheese at a fine Greek Restaurant in Vegas that was amazing but I never found great feta cheese in a store until I found this feta at Trader Joes. It’s less salty and less tangy than the typical feta you come across. This one is more milky and creamy. It’s the same kind of feta cheese that I had at the amazing restaurant Atlas Bistro in Scottsdale.

This Trader Joe’s wild caught canned mackerel is very good.

I also like that it is boneless and skinless.

Trader Joe’s TURKEYS ARE THE BEST (but sometimes come with some feathers)

Once you try a Trader Joe’s Turkey you will never buy one again from the big grocery stores. The legs and thighs are bigger with lots of dark meat. These turkeys have much more flavor to them. They offer brined turkeys so you don’t brine yourself. They come in regular brine or kosher dry brined. Either turkey comes out fabulous no matter what you do to them. The downside is that Trader Joe’s only sells these turkeys around Thanksgiving time so when they are gone they are gone.

Around the time they sell the turkeys you can also buy the Brussels Sprouts stalk.

Trader Joe’s sells all kinds of snack foods. One of my favorites is-

The one pound chocolate bar is very good!

If you eat chocolate this is a must buy. It comes in other variety’s too!

Look at the ingredients in this bag of junk food from Trader Joe’s.

It’s made of mostly peanut paste, corn grits, palm oil and salt. (is it really junk food???)

Ummmm…They seem light and airy and also crunchy with a mild peanut flavor. They are pretty good. They are sort of like cheese curls but peanut flavored. These Bamba peanut snacks are also only 99cents a bag.

Trader Joe’s sells limited food items that come and go.

I sure miss the Sardinian music paper crackers that they used to sell.

I also miss the sweet and spicy cherry peppers that they used to sell.

Here are some newer finds.

Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made from fermented Calabrian Chili peppers. This is different from other bomba sauces that I have tried. I like them all. Any bomba is better than no bomba.

Here is Trader Joe’s Yuzu Hot Sauce (YUM!) (it goes really great with the salmon)

Trader Joes Truffle Powder seasoning. It’s pretty good! It’s better than many of the oils.

Chili Onion Crunch….I can’t wait to try it.

I often buy plants and sometimes potted herbs.

I thought this cactus was kind of cute so I bought it. At the time I had no idea that it was wrapped up with a light feature.

Those were some of the things that I buy from Trader Joe’s.

Everything is subject to change.
