No frills here. I just want a central point for all of my favorite items that I find at Trader Joe’s!

Items I have tried but do not love enough to try again
- Everything But The Bagel Greek Yogurt Dip… However, I think it would be good as a spread on sandwiches or even pretzel thins.
- Joe-Joe’s… I usually love chewy cookies, but I was expecting them to be crunchy like Oreo’s.
- Light Ice Cream… I was really rooting for TJ to make a lighter ice cream that would not taste toxic, but I was not a fan of either flavor they launched.
- Sparkling Watermelon Juice… They even marketed it as “Barbie Champagne,” so I had to try it. I think if I made one of the suggested recipes, I would like it more. I just was not a fan of it by itself. I think it is a seasonal item, so try it next summer and report back!
- Wheat Crisps… I like Wheat Thins better. Similar to the Joe-Joe’s review, I don’t think the Wheat Crisps are crunchy enough.
