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.

the med plate is not bad if you are in a rush and need lunch.

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.

chocolate covered almonds with sea salt and sugar

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

Joe Joe's (Oreos are $5.29 here, Joe Joe's $2.59)

Cheese is good.

TJ Almond Milk (gf loves it).

Frozen pizza isn't bad for lazy dinner.

Maple Syrup is a good value.

Mini chicken cilantro dumplings.

Beer.

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:
