    Bro you might even have to make a part 3! So many good things form TJ’s! Orange cranberry scones, the chili lime chips, the vineyard chicken salad, their giant cinnamon rolls, their goat cheese crumbles, any of their frozen Chinese food options, the frozen shepherds pie, the frozen Mac and cheese…..you could literally do unlimited videos on their products!

    I live for the elote corn chips and dip! Glad you enjoyed!
    I’d recommend trying the spicy tomato and dumpling soup, almond butter cups, Dutch smoked cheese and the ranch from the cold section.

    Next time you go to Trader Joe's I HIGHLY recommend their chocolate milk. They have some of the best chocolate milk in the game!

    bro those elote chips are high key my fav chips of all time. I know you’re about them macros so try dipping them in some nonfat greek yogurt. on god they have so much flavor already the added tang and creaminess sets em off next level

    We LOVE this pivot in your reviews!! TJ is fantastic and always creative in their eclectic provisions! We highly recommend their seasoned nuts as well, but most certainly try a variety of their dips/sauces/condiments that can be used with any of your own baked meat/fish/egg dish or chips/crackers etc! Enjoy!

    I think so many people love Trader Joe's because more often than not they are getting a high quality product at a reasonable price. Even in those cases where they miss, it's more likely to be disappointingly mid rather than a 1 out of 10. What many of us don't like is the seasonality of some products. You buy something and it's great. When you go back next month, it's gone. So when you find something you like, ask a friendly employee if it's going away so you know to stock up if it is. Looking forward to part 2.

      Here in NYC we love Trader Joe’s because they keep their prices the same throughout every single store in the country and doesn’t spike the prices in NYC cause of location. So we’re still getting the high quality stuff for the low prices. That’s why so many of us here in NYC are so loyal to TJ

  • @KLRockswell

    Their chocolate-covered peanut butter pretzels are good, along with their candy corn popcorn (it’s seasonal). I’d recommend checking those out at a later date.

  • @ghostrider_xx
    @ghostrider_xx 10 місяців тому +1

    Try the bagged frozen meals (orange chicken with veggie fried rice, bulgogi beef, italian pastas, etc). They're better than the microwave meals.

    11:59 YES!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!! LOL I haven't tried the dip yet actually but will totally get it since im a huge fan of the Elote Chip they got. Haven't had a chip flavor like that before! Hit's all the zest and sweet corn notes. I wanted to buy that bag of Elote Chips for you so I joined the Real Ones!

    Curious if you bought the Trader Joe’s Teriyaki chicken and/or the Chick Fried Rice frozen meals. Obviously not 10/10 Chinese food substitutes but they definitely get me through the days when I don’t feel like cooking. Must buys for me when I go there. But awesome review! I definitely need to try the Cookie Butter Ice Cream

    King didn't mention parking his nice new vehicle in Trader Joe's lot which tend to be crowded with narrow spots. It's a good thing they don't have prepared foods he would have to eat in his car. People would see him sitting in his car and be signaling for his spot waiting for him to leave.
