They have fantastic seasonal items as well such as the incredible variety of cookies and candy for Easter and Christmas. Last Christmas I got a box of four types of assorted Joe-Joe's (like Oreos), and my book club went crazy for them.

While this wasn't a TJ item, it did bring to mind something my junior high school snack bar (a walk up window instead of vending machines) offered called a "peanut nip". Basically, a scoop of crunchy peanut butter with melted semi-sweet dark chocolate poured over it, chilled until firm, served in an accordion-pleated paper confection cup. Seem to recall they cost about $0.10. If I had a nickel for every peanut nip I bought at that snack bar over those 3 years I'd be rich!

I love the Kringle. I only have it once a year because it's not exactly health food, but when I have it I enjoy it.
yes that would be on the list too.
a house guest brought one of those, out of this world delicious, almond
oh and for the humor and novelty element, there is "Pulled Jackfruit in Smoky Barbecue Sauce." I just busted out laughing seeing that in the store and asked my adult son who was visiting at the time, "Shall we get the Pulled Jackfruit in Smoky Barbecue Sauce" (we were shopping for all of his favorites at Trader Joes). Every time i said it, the entire name in full, we both cracked up laughing.

I like the TJ frozen blueberries and their plain goat cheese. I also find their individual plain nonfat Greek yogurts good.
I don't find it too salty flavor-wise but confess to not checking the label for sodium content. The spiciness is controllable, there's a bag of veggies that lately contains 2 chiles de Arbol, I usually add another as I like it a bit spicy, you can always remove both depending on your taste. The first time I ever bought it the bag had 7 chiles in it which probably would've been a little too much for me. When they first started carrying it I was talking to the cashier who told me the tasters had sent it back to the supplier several times before approving it for sale, I really like that they'll do things like that.

Probably my biggest complaint about TJs. They used to sell a frozen Creme Brulee in a dark chocolate shell, the shell fit a 'normal' dessert size ramekin perfectly and if you played with microwave settings you could find a time/power setting you could get the Creme still cool with the chocolate a little warmed And now they no longer sell it
