It's a bummer you can't do perishables, my current favorites are the spicy green beans (frozen) and also microwave bags of frozen organic brown rice, you pop them into the microwave for 3 minutes and you've got 2 servings of brown rice! I'm doing Weight Watchers, and the frozen veggies and chicken tenders are the best!

Their salsas are great, so are the marinades, teriyaki and wasabi is working for me these days! I will concur on the cookies, very tasty! And we're really lucky, ours has a great selection of organic wine that has no sulfides, which bother my allergies.

I also liked the cereal with the nuggets of almonds and granola like chunks, very yummy, but not on WW! The 'box of soups' are good (butternut squash, tomato) and No Pudge fat free brownies (you just add fat free vanilla yogurt) Pancake mix is good,and the pretzels with peanut butter inside, mmmmm.

TJ's has a really weird effect on me, it's such a regular part of my life, and my loyalty to them is almost cult-like. I swear that I have NEVER had an unpleasant shopping experience there, the employees are so incredibly nice and helpful and SMART, which is crazy because it's a grocery store and retail jobs just don't seem to pull in that type. (I have worked many, many years in retail, I'm not slamming people who work in retail, I'm just amazed by the quality of help they are able to to maintain, they are treating them right, I'm sure!) My family thinks I'm weird, but it's mostly the ones who don't have a TJ's near them. Then when they go, and taste the stuff I get there, they get it!
