Mr Deal Guy, take 2 tubes of those Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls, quarter each roll in sections, place in crock pot and cover with a can or 2 with your favorite pie filling and cook on high for 45 minutes or until done. Drizzle with the icing and enjoy 🥰 I found this idea on YT. We also have done this using Cake mix, cubed butter, and pie filling layered. It’s the BOMB 🥰 CrockPotCobblers KZfaq

Trader Joe's peanut butter cups are the best. They're not overly sweet, and there's a tiny bit of texture. The MINI peanut butter cups are really good too. They've got the proportion of chocolate/PB right, which is hard to do when you change size (looking at YOU, giant M&Ms.)

@robertcrabtree8835 2 жыл бұрын

As a lifetime Reese's addict, I was surprised by how much I liked them. One solid improvement is that the TJ's PB Cup always peels clean from the wrapper. If Reese's have one failing, it is that little bit of chocolate that either splinters off or sticks to the wrapper.

@DawnDavidson 2 жыл бұрын

Those mini peanut butter cups are AMAZING. I like to combine them with the dark chocolate covered candied ginger for a really unusual kick. My housemate considers the dark chocolate Pound Plus bars a staple. And our freezer is almost never bare of Mandarin Orange Chicken, which that same housemate - who is an EXCELLENT cook - turns into the best “Chinese Takeout” ever by stir frying it with veggies and even more sesame oil and other fresh herbs and spices. I’d never seen the broccoli beef before, so I’ll have to look for that one as well. I’m not a fan of chilis, but we all love the frozen MacNCheese, which is indeed THE best frozen ever and rivals restaurant-made. I know someone who makes even better homemade, but trust me that is a VERY high bar, and since they just moved to the other side of the country, I’ll probably be slumming it with TJs for the foreseeable future. I personally LOVE the blue cheese pecan dip, and was thrilled to see it again over the holidays. Don’t know if it’s seasonal, but I suspect so, since I hadn’t seen it for a long time. Anither must have seasonal item is of course the Peppermint Joe-Joe’s. I only managed to score one box this past season, but they were wonderful as always. I’m also a huge fan of their whole chocolate milk, which is of excellent quality and few ingredients. My other item that I go to TJ’s for regularly is their Odorless Fish Oil capsules. I was told years back that they were the best balance of EFAs etc for *brain* health, and they are still WAY cheaper than most other similar ones elsewhere. I call them the Ugly Fish Oil caps though because they are in a hideous packaging of red type on avocado green background! Other people seem to have discovered them recently, though, and I’ve been seeing empty shelves recently. :( Thanks for the great video as always, Deal Guy!

Yay! You did a Trader Joe’s video! My Mom practically lives at that store.. so, out of habit, I’ve become obsessed.. my Dad is a strict “name brand only” type & I have been sneaking Trader Joe’s products into his house lately… and he’s been happily eating them! I also torture my Mom with the tubs of peanut butter cups- she is addicted to them so, whenever I know I’ll be at Trader Joe’s & seeing her, I make sure to stock up, and I just tune out the yelling when she finds them🙃. My step kids LOVED the orange chicken back in the day! (I’m sure they still do, they aren’t kids anymore lol- but it’s tough to please teenage boys when you want to have everyone eat the same meal at the same time lol).. glad you tried the pancake bread- I’ve been eyeing it but hadn’t picked it up yet.. might be something I can get my Dad to eat lol. I’m a massive fan of the cereal selection there- it tastes better than the “brand name” cereals, and it’s made with a lot less preservatives etc. i could go on but my thumbs are starting to hurt from typing on my phone.. 🤣 Love the little solo-picnic area you set up there!

I don't buy a lot of prepared foods, but I do make exceptions for some Trader Joes things. Another wonderful thing about TJ's is that you can return anything for exchange or refund with no hassle and no questions. Have only had to do it once and was amazed at the way it was handled. They are also always on top of any recalls. I mention this because I remember when a bad batch of frozen peas made their way to stores including TJ's. Again, the customer service was actually a pleasure. And, as far as I know, they treat their employees fairly. I've seen the same people in store for years. Anyway, yea! Trader Joes. Oh, don't forgo their "house wine." Can't beat it for $3 a bottle. At least that was the price the last time I looked. Still have several resting on their side in a kitchen cabinet. They have real corks!

Kinda disappointed you didn't do a TimTam slam with the Trader Joe version. From their year-round products, I consider the Triple Ginger Snaps a must. They leave you with a thoroughly gingered swagger. Seasonally available items I must buy are their Ghost Pepper chili grinders and their enrobed JoJos. The ghost peppers are available around June, I buy 6-8 to last me long enough until they come back. The enrobed JoJos are an Xmas set. While I only like 2 of the 4 flavors, I eat those 2 up, and give the other 2 to someone else.

I love Trader Joes! The "Pound Plus" chocolate bars are the only chocolate I use when making Million Dollar Fudge. I use the 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate. This fudge recipe calls for 24 ounces of a sweeter chocolate, so I buy two bars (17.4 ounces each), cut enough from the second bar to equal 24 ounces, put the leftovers from the second bar in a ziploc bag and then hide it somewhere out of sight in my kitchen. If I don't hide it, the next time I want to make fudge I usually have to start again with two whole bars.

@@thedealguy the convenient thing about TJ's is their return policy. I feel confident to try new things. Try their tiny mousse cakes. They change flavor according to season. Raspberry now. AND I love the Indian style Garlic Achaar sauce! I enjoy it on eggs but I could put that s%$t on anything lol. Hugs from the Bay Area!

Thanks Matt, I always enjoy your videos and like your approach. I wasn't going to watch this because I didn't know that Trader Joe's had opened a store in our area till you posted this and I went and checked. Now I have to drive out there and check it out. Thanks

My Trader Joe must haves.. their almond croissants(frozen), orange chicken, chicken tikka masala and the apple blossoms. Their key lime cheesecake is also killer but only available in certain regions.

Great video Matt of my favourite store ,you sampled quite a few of my usual suspects! Best Buy is the pound plus chocolate bar ,you didn’t mention that it’s from Belgium ,where they produce the best quality chocolate ,I use it for baking . I can save a lot of money instead of buying a quality chocolate from baking companies with same results. 👌 Love your new “tray for one “,a bit nicer than from the trunk and easier clean up too!😁 Great content as ever ,thanks ! 😊

Hey Matt would you ever consider reviewing sweet treats that are sugar free? I try not to eat sugar, but I absolutely love sweet things!! I'm always on the lookout for sugar free sweets, preferably the ones that have stevia or some other natural sugar alternative. I try to stay away from the Sucralose or aspartame sweeteners. Anyway just a thought. I would love it though if you did do a video on the natural sugar substitute products. Love you!!!

So many people think that Trader Joe’s is elite, or expensive. I find all their products to be good quality and have a good value. I also like that they don’t have coupons, or digital coupons. Anyone that walks in the store gets their value price. You don’t need a smart phone to buy quality products at a price you can afford.

Great video on the best basics at TJs Matt! I'm on my way this morning! Their diverse cheese selection is terrific and has great prices; Mochi Crispy Rice Nuggets are a game-changer, and the little mousse cakes, which are raspberry right now but are usually chocolate and the decorations change, are to die for! P.S. These can be sampled in your car!😝
