<p>Here’s the full list (an * indicates that the product was limited-edition and probably can’t be had right now, boo):</p>
<ol>
<li>Triple Ginger Snaps. Not one, not two, but three gingers.</li>
<li>Speculoos Cookie Butter. Made of cookies. Like a gingerbread spread. No nutritional value whatsoever.</li>
<li>Joe Joe’s Cookies (all varieties). TJ’s version of Oreo’s, with the limited-edition holiday-season peppermint being an annual highlight.</li>
<li>Reduced Guilt Chunky Guacamole. Does anyone really feel guilty about regular guacamole?</li>
<li>Charles Shaw Wine (all varieties). Cheap good wine remains a Trader Joe’s trademark.</li>
<li>Pumpkin Coffee.* New pumpkin item proving that anything pumpkin sells, even god-awful pumpkin-flavored coffee.</li>
<li>Mac ‘n Cheese. Returning favorite moves up from last year’s position at No. 16.</li>
<li>Pumpkin Butter. * Last year’s No. 12. And if we haven’t mentioned this previously, pumpkin = popular.</li>
<li>Almond Butter (all varieties). New to the list, almond butter has become more popular with the rise of (and phobia over) peanut allergies.</li>
<li>Pumpkin Pecan Instant Oatmeal.* Oatmeal with pumpkin and pecans. TJ’s is going to turn into a big pumpkin.</li>
<li>Chili Lime Chicken Burgers. Burgers made not of beef are hot.</li>
<li>Fennel Bulbs.* How refreshing to see fresh produce on this list.</li>
<li>Cranberry Goat Cheese Log.* Tangy cheese from Wisconsin, hand-rolled in candied cranberries.</li>
<li>Harvest Blend Herbal Tea.* Limited-edition tea is a no-brainer because it has cinnamon, ginger — you know, the pumpkin pie spices. Pumpkin again, oy.</li>
<li>Pound Plus Chocolate Bar (milk and dark). Longtime TJ’s product is a lot of good chocolate for a low price and a boon for bakers.</li>
<li>Almond Cocoa Spread. An almond cousin to Nutella, the chocolate-hazelnut spread that’s gotten hot in the past couple of years.</li>
<li>Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix.* Returning favorite (No. 14 last year) has one, ahem, ingredient we won’t bother mentioning again.</li>
<li>Rosemary Marcona Almonds. Nuts are one of TJ’s stock-in-trades. “Marcona” almonds means they’re fried until extra-crunchy. Add rosemary and voila.</li>
<li>Corn & Chili Pepper Salsa. This salsa-without-tomatoes was No. 20 on last year’s list. Inching up!</li>
<li>Dark Chocolate Covered Caramels. Awww, sank from No. 8 last year.</li>
<li>Chocolate Orange Sticks. Candied orange gel enrobed in chocolate. Bit of a surprise to see on this list.</li>
<li>Pesto Gouda. Introduced as a St. Patrick’s Day item because it’s green duh, this got bumped up to year-round availability.</li>
<li>Mandarin Orange Chicken. Once found at the top of the list (sniff!), this frozen dinner-in-a-bag is a longtime bestseller.</li>
<li>Spinach & Kale Greek Yogurt Dip. Returning champ is a kale-y twist on spinach artichoke dip, with yogurt standing in for sour cream.</li>
<li>This Cranberry Walks Into a Bar … * Cross between a Pop Tart and a Fig Newton, this limited-edition breakfast bar has a thin pastry shell and lots of fruit.</li>
</ol>
<p>I’ve tried maybe half a dozen of them - would be more if I had one close to me!!!</p>
<p>I usually only buy food items in TJ’s, but on a recent shopping trip I was pressed for time and decided to save myself another stop and pick up their Tea Tree Tingle shampoo and conditioner. I love this stuff! My thick wavy hair is silky smooth and manageable and my dry scalp feels more balanced. I have always been a bit of a shampoo snob and used salon products but this is my new go to…no laurel/laureth sulfates and 16 oz for $3.99! I’m picking up the body wash on my next trip.</p>
<p>Hate the taste of ginger, especially in the candy format.
Charlie Shaw wine is discussed in another thread, i cannot say it is top choice among wine lovers.</p>
<p>^^ Bought TWO hugh bottles of champagne from Costco for $11 for the new years eve, they probably came to the same price as Chuck wine in volume. The champagne was surprisingly good. We finished only one bottle with 8 person.</p>
<p>That pesto gouda is incredible. Also like their truffled cheddar and the black pepper machengo cheese. </p>
<p>But surely this isn’t top top sellers? I’d expect that they sell a lot more eggs than pumpkin coffee. And fennel bulbs?!?!?! I do buy them, but I buy a lot more carrots, celery, potatoes etc etc.</p>
<p>The Orange Chicken is great. Their frozen grilled vegetables are also fantastic, especially for parties. The Belgian waffles are also a must and so are the buffalo burgers</p>
<p>Needless to say I love TJ’s, but I wanted to share just how much people in my area (NYC) seem to love it :)</p>
<p>The store that opened just about a year or two years ago is huge - two levels, 29 cash registers (most of the time I am there all 29 are open), etc., but there have already been two occasions when I have gone there (and I go less than once a week), and the store is over capacity. They literally had to have people wait, so there was a line outside going for half a block to get into the store. This was not for anything special going on in the store, just a regular shopping day.</p>
<p>And I stood in that line to get in once (it goes by pretty fast) all to get the Trade Joe’s PB and J bars I mentioned, which I am officially addicted to ;)</p>
