Trader Joe is a fun trip, but my enthusiasm is tempered by some truly disgusting house brand crap they sometimes sell as well as frequently dropping items that I like (e.g. crackable almonds in shells, half-popped popcorn).
- cm2012 8y agoThis made me laugh. I love TJs bit their house brand sriracha is just so terrible. Just stock the rooster!
- kawfey 8y agoI really liked that half popped popcorn.
- mhb 8y agoFWIW, this describes how to make it, though I haven't tried yet. https://www.flytraplife.com/blog/half-popped-popcorn/ https://www.flytraplife.com/blog/half-popped-popcorn/
- kradroy 8y agoI tried to go all out on TJs, but I couldn't make it work. They are, like one commenter above said, "the disappearing middle" even though they're kind of the bottom. Costco beats them out for most of the things I'd buy: booze, meat & poultry, bulk veggies, dairy. The only things I'll buy exclusively at TJs are berries. What's up with their soupy peanut butter too?
