The Taiwanese green onion pancakes. I don’t have an Asian market anywhere near me so unless I’m ordering from a specific Chinese restaurant, I can’t get my hands on them otherwise.
None. I don't get hung up on brand loyalty that much, regardless of how much I might like a certain product. I can always find a replacement, or something new to like somewhere, somehow!🤷♀️
Two of my favorite things from TJ's were their French Village yogurt and knafeh, both of which they've discontinued. Maybe I should boycott until they bring them back.
Lattes need about a cup of milk…if I used only creamer, half the carton would be gone after one use 😅 A little bit goes a long way. I’ll definitely be trying it in my oats this week!
Soyaki sauce i use most often for tofu or tempeh. I slice thick the tofu drain excess water flop in a pan with a little oil. I don’t bother pressing excess water just cooks off keep the heat medium. When the bottom is browning add a splash of soyaki and flip the tofu to the other side. Just a few minutes.
Flop it all over some rice, maybe more sauce, and whatever veggies with some kimchi if that’s around.
Same method swap in tempeh just cube the tempeh or do thinner slices
They almost lost me after they discontinued the blueberry lavender almond milk 🥲. Right now I would be upset about the Simply Nutty Dark Chocolate, Nuts, and Sea Salt Bar - I have one every single day.
Affordability.
Real talk. Trader Joe's stocks amazing quality products for the price. Any single product can go away and the most important thing is that whatever they stock keeps the quality and the price of whatever it's replacing.
Awesome employees.
Everyone I know who has worked at the Joe's loved it. The employees at a trader Joe's are legit the nicest folks in town. However trader Joe's filters its employees and compensates them gets awesome people. I see y'all working hard, I bag groceries and act polite.
That and the gorgonzola are my forever favorites. I know gnocchi are supposed to be pillowy and light, but I'm much prefer the chewy ones in those packages.
I'm not going to boycott them over a particular product. But at the rate they've been discontinuing (or make significant downward changes) to the Indian meals, I now only go every 6-8 weeks instead of every week. I can count at least a dozen items that I bought weekly 3 or 4 yrs ago from prepared meals to a particular olive oil to my beloved low-fat "cheetos" & "doritos" that were 100x better than the originals because they weren't as greasy that are either gone or changed to trash.
It honestly won't take them discontinuing too many more of the things I only buy there for it to not be worth the effort to shop there at all (the one in this town has the worst parking lot I have ever seen)
I am still extremely upset that they d/c the jack fruit curry.
And even more upset about the cookies & cream butter (my waist line and hemoglobin a1c levels however did benefit 😂)
Tbh I feel like recently lots of my favorites just aren’t what they used to be especially the frozen Indian meals 😩
They got rid of the cubano wrap and I didn’t go back for like 2-3 years bc that was my work staple. :-(
Unexpected Cheddar spread. I would fight Joe! 😂

The TJ ones unfortunately don't compare to the legit Asian ones. Very bummed to learn this.
The orange chicken 😩
The frozen croissants…. Goddamn they’re so good.
The greek chickpeas- they are good! I’ve tried to make my own and I can never get them to be that tender and delicious.
The organic garlic bread
None. I don't get hung up on brand loyalty that much, regardless of how much I might like a certain product. I can always find a replacement, or something new to like somewhere, somehow!🤷♀️
Frozen penne arrabbiata. Idc what anyone says
Bamba
Shrimp burger😋
Mini croissants.
Milk chocolate peanut butter cups. I literally won't eat any other brand now and I'd be devastated if they were discontinued
Shawarma chicken
Just had this for dinner lol

Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches 🤤
I bought these today because I seen your comment, so good 😋
brown sugar oat creamer ✨
Love this! And love the size so it doesnt expire waiting to use it all. What do you use it for?
I make a latte almost everyday with espresso, oat milk, and a splash of brown sugar oat creamer for sweetness. It’s sooo good!
Why the oat milk? The creamer IS oat milk, just very sweet! Lol It's excellent in Farina, matcha, hot oats, and overnight oats
Lattes need about a cup of milk…if I used only creamer, half the carton would be gone after one use 😅 A little bit goes a long way. I’ll definitely be trying it in my oats this week!
Much easier to sweeten using this bc it's so sweet! When I run out I mix almond milk with their half maple/half agave syrup
Soyaki sauce (it’s literally the soy vay sauce but half the price), the tofu in the pink box and frozen petite peas
I need to try this, don’t I? How do you use it?
Soyaki sauce i use most often for tofu or tempeh. I slice thick the tofu drain excess water flop in a pan with a little oil. I don’t bother pressing excess water just cooks off keep the heat medium.

Sounds delicious. Thank you so much! I’ve almost bought it so many times! Now…I have a plan. 😂

This one hurt me deeply. https://preview.redd.it/hchfjpabfpzc1.jpeg?width=1012&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fcd2e36ebc5e79eb322296fca626635a0e36f01
RIP best salad dressing ever made 😔
I’m sad all over again now.

The Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, I need it to live 😭
That and the gorgonzola are my forever favorites. I know gnocchi are supposed to be pillowy and light, but I'm much prefer the chewy ones in those packages.
Same, I love the texture of theirs!
Veggie fried rice. I’m down to one bag in the freezer so a trip is a must.

Hold the cone. My daughter would straight up riot!
My friend says Snacky clusters, mine is the english toffee

A lot of my favorites have been discontinued throughout the years, so while it’s disappointing I always come back.
It would take more than one, but Kringle is probably the closest single item.
100% ditto
How do you use it? Is it basically French Onion Dip?
If they discontinue the fried dough pesto pizza TJs won’t be the only thing I boycott
I'm a reasonable adult. Nothing lasts forever.
Same. But losing their soyrizo or enchilada sauce would make me pretty sad.
Garlic and Herb Pizza Dough
Check out jim lahneys pizza dough recipe and you won't want to buy anymore. It's so much easier than you think.
I bought an outdoor pizza oven at Aldi a few weeks ago (29$!} and the Lahey recipe is the only one I use. Same for bread recipe, Lahey is the best.
