| - I am a big fan of trader joes! I find the produce to be very fresh, and there's always something eye-catching that I leave the store with. I also really enjoy the sample counter that they have (always something new) as well as their selection of chocolate (dark..........drool).
Recently, I purchased the "Contemplate Inner Peas" (clever!) snack.. these are basically crunchy baked green peas. The bag says they're good straight out of the bag, crumbled over a salad, or eaten with a dip... all of which are true. BUT-- they are for sure a copy of the Calbee brand Saya snow pea crisps found in asian markets.. and Calbee does it better! Eating these might remove the guilt of unhealthy snacking, but if you're going to snack on baked/fried green peas, might as well go with the more delicious, original option! (I think they're the same price anyway!)

I also purchased TJ's Cocoa Almond spread, which is supposed to be like Nutella. I was highly disappointed, as I had expected this to be very similar to nutella-- it wasn't :( The consistency is similar, but it is sweeter and just not the same!! It's not terrible, but I've come to the conclusion that nothing will come close to nutella. SO just skip the cocoa almond spread here and buy your nutella from Albertsons.
3/5
These were just a few things I could think of, but I will be back for sure to test out other products that appeal to me.
