Trader Joe's
So I was on the mainland recently and got to shop at Trader Joe’s. Since I know everyone in Hawaii would die to have one here, I thought I’d post some pics of the yummy stuff I got there. (Unfortunately I was in Philadelphia, so there was no ‘2 buck chuck’ since PA doesn’t allow grocery stores to sell alcohol)
In the picture:
Focaccini – I bought these cuz they looked nice and cheesy but I was disappointed
Reduced carb whole wheat tortillas – I’m not into the low-carb diet, but I like these tortillas because they are softer than normal ones
Danish Blue cheese – for salads
Cantare Olive Tapenade – we can get this at Hawaii Costco! (I read in Fortune magazine that Hawaii Costco has the highest per square foot sales of any Costco store in the US)
Trader Joe’s private label Gazpacho – very raw, heavy on the onions
Trader Joe’s private label Dolmas – yum. These are awesome. I threw them into salads. I’d never had refrigerated dolmas, but they held up well.
I completely agree. I, along with many others would give my right tit for a trader joes on oahu
ReplyDeleteFor the past few months I have not been able to find Trader Joe's Dolmas (in the refrigerated section). One of the employees said they are no longer carrying these andhave replaced them with a new type, which is in a jar and can be found on the shelf! I tried these and they were AWFUL. The fresh ones were some of the bes I've ever tasted. Does anyone know whether these have been discontinued?
