Still hurts. TJs broke my heart years ago when they gave the pumpkin croissants the axe. They even had little pumpkin seeds on top that toasted when you baked them. I have had to drown my sorrows in the almond and also the chocolate ones that you let rise overnight.

WHAT??? I did not know that. Now I am sorry I know that.
I haven’t forgiven them for discontinuing the whole wheat cinnamon raisin English muffins and then the multigrain ones too.
Nay: the organic poppy seed salad dressing was apparently seasonal and is already done for 2022. We really liked ir. I would have stocked up if I had known.
Got hooked on dark chocolate covered ginger. Now it’s gone. Bother!
Tried the new Jerk Chicken Skewers. Pretty good, though the sauce is a bit spicy for my aging constitution.
Also. Noticing lots of our favorite $5.99 wines are now $6.99. Not unexpected I guess.
Still lots of great reasons to shop there. I’m generally mystified by people who say they don’t see the appeal. To each their own I guess.

Lulu’sMom likes Butler Pond Pinot Noir. It was only $6 when I tried it. I’m not a big drinker, certainly no expert, but my friend and I thought it was great, especially for $6!

on the Salsa Verde totopos, err tortilla chips. Not spicy enough for me, but they are full of flavor.

I saw those today and thought they’d be perfect for chilaquiles.

Noticed today that they’ve got Chimichurri and a Tahini herb sauce in the same section as the wonderful Zhoug - anyone tried either of those?
Thanks for the rec. I’ll look for it, tho Pinot Noir is a pretty difficult wine to find done decently at that price.
I got the salsa verde tortilla chips today, and I am pretty impressed. Also impressed that there are still some in the bag.

I couldn’t agree more, which makes this even more of a unicorn.
What city are you in/near? Our closest TJs recently reduced their wine selection and I don’t recall seeing Butter Pond the other day.
I’m in Chapel Hill, NC. I haven’t looked for it in the past few months (stockpiled), but I do remember that they were out of it for a few months last year.
It’s Butler Pond, I found it in South San Francisco, CA.

YEA to the Trader Joe’s Olive Oil potato chips. The ingredients are only potatoes, olive oil, salt.
The taste is simple and delicious. I made a repeat trip to the store to get another bag after the first one disappeared within a few minutes of opening.

I bought that one on my last visit because they were all out of the Reduced Fat or calorie ? Potato chips. They are my very favorite by far, incredible crunch. In stores like Safeway, none of the chips tempt me!

Yes to the incredible crunch. They are a kettle cooked chip, which is my favourite kind.

I loved those multigrain english muffins!

Maybe my bag was defective but these had no flavor; a guest felt the same. Going back.
