agree with foodguy, but also have gotten home and found mold hiding behind the label enough that i don't really bother anymore.

Pesto Pizza is very good. Crust is the best of all the pizzas they offer. Produce is horrible as stated. Also most of the frozen dinners. Cheese good, beer good, wine good.

My ex didn't really have much time or inclination for cooking, so she bought a lot of prepared and frozen stuff from Trader Joe's. Everything I ate I remember tasting fine, and pretty good for frozen meals.

Chicken Tikka Masala (brown box in frozen section) and their naan is pretty damn good for frozen Indian food.

Beer.

Edit: Add yogurt covered raisins.

Their fresh pizza dough is pretty good for what it is. Like $1.50 and easy to pick up and make a pie in <20 minutes.

Coffee is a good deal usually.

I like their bread.

Cereal, granola, frozen fruits for shakes, wine, beer, this during christmas:
