this is pretty good. a little saltier than I'd like, but not too bad for tj's

I mix some into soup or throw it on top of a salad at lunch

Just crushed their Middle East Feast. It was good!
And I feel like this year is really about, just the year of realizing stuff.

These are ‘interesting’. I’ve actually never eaten meringue before, so I got these when I saw them. They are basically hard and sugary and the cocoa tastes artificial. 2/5

yeah, thanks. someone mentioned that pizza in this thread before. the roasted vegetable pizza at my TJ's has cheese. I've never come across the cheeseless version.

What does everyone think of their produce?

I think it's hit or miss, with A LOT of misses. Some co-worker told me recently that he thinks TJ has better quality produce than WF and I laughed and laughed

i do not buy produce at tj's because i don't think it's good. sure you get a "deal" on a bunch of avocados but they're tiny so it's not really worth it

The bagged avocados are terrible for sure.

I find the produce good enough that I wouldn't bother going elsewhere if they have what I need.

Their produce tends to go bad a lot faster for me than produce from other stores. However some things are a better deal there, like fresh herbs.

Produce is easily the worst thing at TJs.

Sometimes you get lucky and something is both cheap and relatively fresh, but it's a rare exception and my experience is that you can get infinitely better produce at any other large grocery chain.

All of the amazing junk foods at TJs tend to have palm oil in them

Fucking sucks! Also, those cheese bites with grana padano in them are pretty fierce. Like the crunchy parts of a grilled cheese

Also ate a whole bag of the gummy fish last night, recommended

The new Bolivia Yanaloma coffee is actually a light roast(!) and tastes very good. Helluva deal at $9/bag.
