    Trader Joes is mostly a dark chocolate peanut butter cup store. It's the greatest value in the entire USA to get a pack for 99 cents. Better than premium fancy chocolates.

    Trader Joe's is my favorite of the "natural" food chains. They have reasonable prices (mostly), a good selection, and they aren't as douchey/judgey as Whole Foods.

    the green onion pancakes, the thai vegetable dumplings (steamed), and the vegan orange chicken are my 3 go-to frozen favs! I used to also love their mango sticky rice spring rolls but they discontinued them 🙁 this video was such a treat!

    They put oyster mushrooms in the green onion pancakes? Crap. I love TJ's stuff, but I'm deathly allergic to mushrooms.

    My all-time favorite product is no longer sold by TJs. They used to sell quinoa-based elbow noodles that cooked in three minutes in the microwave. I loved them not just because they were extra healthy but because they cooked so quickly.

    Did you say Providence?
    Waving 'HI" from the Quiet Corner in CT. Thank you for this video. I like similar foods so next time at Trader Joe's in Warwick or Manchester I'll have to look for those items.
    I really like their Panang Curry.

    I'm English and live in London, but I always make a trip to Trader Joes for goodies to bring home every time I'm in the states! Only ever tried the snacky bits, my favourites are the milk chocolate peanut butter cups and the everything but the bagel crackers!

    Do they still sell the spicy lentil wrap in the grab and go section? I ate those at least a cpl times a week when I was in school. I still crave them sometimes 😋😋

    Would love a trader joe food haul video. Their soup dumplings are amazing and also the orange chicken and vegetable fried rice. The other scallion pancakes are superior, look for them next time if you're interested

    Emmy, I’ve been watching you for years and I love your videos so much. But can you please please please, edit out or lower some of the crunching and chewing noises? They are brutal.

    I have never been disappointed with TJs frozen foods. Sadly, I live so far away, that I can only get a few things in my small cooler for the 2 hour drive home.
