| candacec | TJ's has these little single-serving plastic packages of biryani rice that are awesome and vegan! Perfect for a quick healthy meal. |

I used to buy the 8 grain TJ brand, but it's been a while since I've needed bread.... I've been living off some I bought from the HFS 2 months ago and the Sara Lee corn syrup filled kind *shrugs* It's soft. |

Read the ingredients though since, although I know the sprouted rye is vegan, I can't remember if all of their sprouted breads are. |

| Trent Steele | My TJ does a "make your own six-pack" where you can buy mix-n-match beers in a six-pack. Pretty neat, says the lush. I like getting snacks for the office there, too, especially dried fruit. And then there's this blonde who works there on the weekends. Oh, and the chili spiced mango. That's a no-brainer. |

What was wrong with the banana waffles? I have a tiny issue with frozen waffles... usually the burn on the outside and are frozen in the middle. I put them in the microwave for a few seconds first before they go to the toaster. I really like the banana waffles, I've just cut back on what I buy now because I end up not eating it. I had this for the first time today and LIKED it (never before have I liked tofu): Stir Fry (asparagus, carrots, green beans, etc), brown rice, and pressed firm tofu soaked in teriyaki sauce. Yummmm! New delicious meal! |

Ok, went to TJ's again and this is what i picked up:
Decaf Green Tea Liquid Egg Whites Fresh Guac (thanks Danaskully) ( LOVE the green tea... I buy the bags in bulk and brew a gallon for the fridge (for my family and I). What I used to do... I'd buy the low carb wheat tortillas (you can use any kind), then I'd make some scrambled egg whites, put them on the tortilla along with some of the guacamole and some hot sauce... Yum  I stopped eating eggs a while back, but I miss that.My bf wanted to move out of state for law school... I told him San Diego is my top choice, and now he's starting to lean the same way. San Diego has everything: Trader Joe's, Henry's (Wild Oats), Whole Foods... I'd be in HEAVEN

My TJ's favorites: Gardenburger Riblets Soy nuggets Nut butters Tofu Tofurkey Coffee Wasabi Peas Shampoo and conditioner Body Lotion whole wheat pasta I never buy produce there because I also hate the extra packaging and I prefer to pick my own veggies and fruit out, not to mention these items are overpriced at TJ. |
