I love TJ's. My favorites:
- Fresh squeezed OJ & tangerine juice (gotta try the tangerine juice if you haven't already)
- Chocolate covered almonds
- Really long & skinny pretzel sticks (can't remember the name but there's hebrew on the packaging)
- Quadrattini's (spelling?) in hazelnut flavor (these are little wafer squares)
- My latest binge is their frozen haricots verts. They sell a 1 lb bag for 1.99. I just saute them up in a little olive oil & garlic and presto! the perfect accompaniment to fish or meat.
 
I also buy a lot of the staples there (simply cuz they're cheaper than Ralph's) -- canned tomatoes are a bargain (big can of roma tomatoes for 89 cents), vitamins, cheap frozen fruits & veggies, dairy, bagged salad greens, pasta)
 
Oh, my latest find is a yuzu flavored shower gel (sorry, not a food item) which lathers up really thick and is great for shaving.
