For those of you who have a local Trader Joe's...

...I highly recommend the frozen bagged entrees of Mandarin chunk chicken-- it tastes just as good as the chinese take out equivalent, but is 1)tastier 2)cheaper 3)healthier. More chicken, less breading, mmmmm :9

A *huge* bag, good for 3 meals, is only 4.99!

1. right on

My neighbor works there and brings stuff home for me once in awhile (mostly soaps)- I'll have to ask her to get me some! :D

3. We finally got a Trader Joes last month!

:woohoo:

LOVE their hummus. Their frozen enchiladas are fabulous, etc etc etc....

[WindRavenX]

4. yeah, but they're hella sodium and fat packed

:)

I'm on a diet. Goddammit!

5. Their Burritos Aren't!

Try the "Very Expensive Handmade Chicken Burritos" or the "99% Fat-Free Chicken and Rice Burrito." My Loved One practically lives on those (and the "Verde Chile" ones).

6. Who cares about sodium & fat?

I don't. Those things are yummy.

9. People who need to worry about their blood pressure and cholesterol (which

is all of us.)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. Eh, I eat what I want and it checks out okay.

Although, I do eat very few animal products, so cholesterol is pretty much a non-issue.

13. hmmm, my cholesterol and bp check out just fine

thank god. however, metabolism and eyesight suck. :(

7. I had the pizza today.....IT was good.....

8. Their pot pies are terrible, but their quiches are good and best of all...

their "Chicken Shu Mai" (not sure of the spelling) that come frozen in a box are really good.

10. Hmmmmmm...I love quiche!

Maybe I'll give theirs a try!

12. Cheaper?? You have never been to San Francisco have you?

We have a Trader Joes, however just four blocks away from me are a ton of
Chinese restaurants, which are SO cheap...well lets say a twenty dollar bill
will fill your fridge and freezer up for nearly a month ...and
its so yummy good. PLUS a bag of Fortune cookies...

But, I prefer Japanese and Korean. What can I say? I am so picky!! Hai! Oishii desu!
