Speculoos and corn dippers with elote seasoning
Peanut butter filled pretzels with chocolate coating
I love their less-salt peanuts and their nuts/trail mixes in general. I like to sprinkle their grainless granola on toast or yogurt with fruit. Their cinnamon grahams are great with a cup of tea and I was panic-stricken when I thought they were discontinued. I always have their pound plus bars in the house for baking. I purchase the mango shave cream and vitamins, as well. I’m sure I will think of others…
Have fun!

My entire family uses that shaving cream. One of the best values in the entire store. Superb product.

NAY to the Riced Cauliflower Bowl. Tasteless, swimming in liquid exuded during heating. The 10 ounce bowl wouldn’t be enough for a single adult vegetarian meal, though the label calls it 2.5 one-cup servings. I very much doubt there were 2.5 cups. Cauliflower, tahini, chick peas, sweet potato, tofu, onions. Honestly, I thought the orange chunks were old, tough carrots.
Anticipatory YEA for the Banana Pudding Flavor Ice Cream. The clerks raved about it. I haven’t opened it yet because when I got home on a 90° day, I needed to collapse for a while. I had a freezer gelpack in my insulated TJ’s zippered tote so thought I had leeway. A couple of hours later, I discovered that the bagger had put bars of hard cheese into the insulated tote but the ice cream (by then, totally thawed) was in a regular bag, with apples and grapes. I hope it didn’t refreeze in sedimentary layers. They usually don’t make bagging errors like that. It was my aim to get there before the pumpkinundation. I imagine the banana ice cream will be replaced by pumpkin very soon.
YEA for Organic Super Bread. Lots of seeds, and some dried carrot, apple, and banana provide a bit of sweetness. The small slices should make for good nut butter sandwiches for young children.

I found the a banana pudding ice cream to be only OK. Recognizable banana flavor with cookie-ish bits of something. Not sure what. Not anything special IMHO.

Oh no … for now, anyway, my favorite butter has been discontinued: the salted one from Brittany!
Glad I passed it up this morning, then.
That was my favorite as well. I like the Kerrygold, but it’s a bit too salty. The Brittany one was perfect. Per usual for TJ, no one knew why it was discontinued.
I still haven’t forgiven them for discontinuing their sun-dried tomato crostini – and that was over 25 years ago!

when tj’s discontinues a product, it’s often (though certainly not always:) an issue with the manufacturer: either quality or they’ve stopped producing.
On several discontinued items, when I asked why, the answer was that it was TOO popular. The sources couldn’t produce enough to meet TJ’s needs. This goes back a few years; unfortunately, I can’t recall what those items were.

Yeah. TJs used to sell a shelf-stable packaged corned beef has (from Argentina I believe). This was maybe 10+ years ago. The stuff was amazingly good for pre-made and I’d give a whole lot to be able to find it again.

YESSSS! That’s one of the ones I was trying to recall!
Hmmm…Ima gonna disagree with TJs on this. Get as much as you can from your sources and sell it. Restrict shoppers to a certain number of items per shop if you have to. Better to make some of your shoppers happy than make everyone unhappy.

Putting chocolate in a car in the summer seems like a bad idea.
(We never got to TJ’s–our friend’s appointment ran late, and we had no time before we had to leave.

had plenty at the somerville ma tj’s today. picked up 2 packages just in case.
Yes, you can freeze it!
I like the flavor of the frozen waffle fries, but I think they have a quality control issue with the slicing. Seems like half the bag was tiny fragments, with just a handful of full-size waffle fries. (That could just be the bag I happened to buy, of course.)
I finally got around to trying their pimento-cheese dip, and it’s a YEA for me. Satisfies my retro cravings, especially when spread on a Ritz cracker, though I think it’s way better than the stuff I used to have 40+ years ago. My one quibble is that it’s more of a spread than a dip (you would need industrial-strength potato chips to dip in this without breakage), but that’s semantics.
NAY to discontinuing (permanently?) a bunch of items, including tube tomato paste and pre-cooked bacon.
