I'm a big Trader Joe's fan. We shop there often. However, there are a few things that I would recommend *against* buying there. First off, their store-brand cereals leave something to be desired (at least the ones I've tried, the honey bunches of oats and frosted mini wheats knock offs).

Sometimes the produce is just fine. I buy the guacamole kits, for instance, and they're great. However, I've yet to buy a piece of fresh fruit that I enjoyed. They're usually either off in texture or lack flavor.

Their frozen fruit is *amazing*, though. I'll eat a few pieces of their frozen pineapple and cherries as a dessert. They're so sweet and tasty, hands down the best frozen fruit I've ever had (and I've purchased pretty much every kind available in Seattle).

Oooh, their frozen chicken teriyaki is also very tasty, flamed broiled. I don't even like chicken that much, but I'll happily eat this dish.

They also have great palmier cookies. They're usually gone after three hours--my roommates devour them (okay, me too ;)).

One more thing... their fruit bars are great. Unlike the Dreyer's fruit bars, you can actually taste the fruit. Mmm, I want one right now.
