Now why did y’all lie about those shrimp burgers? I just tried one and it was disgusting. I tried to dress it up with lettuce, tomato, provolone, sauce and none of that helped lol. Anyway please try their breaded cod filets. They are awesome as a sandwich or for breakfast with some grits.

Ive tried them twice and I give up. I’m gonna stick with the mahi mahi and tuna burgers. Their Panko crusted tilapia are always bomb too!

Did you get the burritos? I need a review!

Yes, got a bunch! I'll report back - we're having these plus nachos for lunch. Going to air fry them for sure.

ETA: Carne asada burritos - definitely flavorful carne asada and a ton of meat. I was LOLing when I read they were careful with their tortilla selection because they wanted it to be soft, pliable even after microwaving. Meanwhile, I microwaved and then threw it in the air fryer as I like the crisp.

It's a good base but when you add condiments, sauces - it's a really hearty meal. I added verde sauce and sour cream. The girls ate the burritos with Cholula. Anything vinegar, acidic to cut all that meat.

I didn't find the blueberry and lemon biscuits today but I did pick up the vegan caramelized onion dip and wow, I'm impressed. I'm already thinking about what else besides chips to eat it with. It's a definite repurchase but also hoping its not a seasonal item, which has been my (un)luck with TJ's recently

Sounds like it would be good as sandwich spread! I have yet to find this, folks keep buying it out. Also, no more of those lemon blueberry biscuits. Even the employees were so impressed, they bought a few packs themselves!

I did get the raspberry cream cheese Danish and its delicious..my friend got the vanilla bean scones and loved it.

I also saw they have an almond Danish which looked promising but I'm trying to cut back on the sweet for the sake of my skin.

Nvm:
I need this. I still haven't tried the milk chocolate crisp peanut thing..it's always oos when I go.

TJ oat milk ice cream is the smoothest & creamiest nondairy ice cream I've ever had including Ben&Jerry's, Häagen-Dazs & Oatly's.

The strawberry flavor left much to be imagined & is lackluster. I hope they release more flavors in the future because the base is bangin

I find store bought Alfredo such a waste and I’ll never touch it but the Reddit reviews don’t recommend that Cajun sauce.

I don’t know WHY I bough that Alfredo sauce. We saw it in store and my kid encouraged me lol. We don’t do Alfredo like that, but I said sure. Planned to put it over some zucchini noodles.

When I say it’s bad, y’all... I dipped my fork in to taste and immediately threw it in the trash. Please don’t buy it.

Kudos! To whomever recommended their Tomato Basil Marinara sauce. It's a perfect red sauce, and I didn't anything but salt, pepper and a half teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Excited to try it! Going to get it on my next trip...sometime soon.

Well that's the thing lol I was so disgusted I just threw it out. Normally I'd just return it to the store but I didn't even want to look at it again. It honestly tastes like garbage

The vegan caramelized onion dip.

It is SO good. Definitely one of my favorite TJs products that I’ve tried in a LONG time.

We haven’t actually tried it as a dip, but I used it as a spread for sandwiches, it was amazing. We also paired it with steak, I highly recommend trying that. So good. It does not taste dairy free!

I also spread it on pickles earlier, but I’m pregnant :ROFLMAO:

Anyway if you like caramelized onions, this is a must-buy.

@WorkingBeez if y’all are into caramelized onions I think you would enjoy, it’s very versatile for various palettes.

Ummm, bury the lead? CONGRATS, MAMA!!!

It's on my list but it's always out of stock! Heading to a different TJs tomorrow, so we shall see. I know a lot of people rave about the spread on their veggie sandwiches, pita filling too!

Never EVER buy store bought Alfredo sauce. Always make your own at home. Store bought alfredo just ain’t right

I think my TJs is slow to get new stuff in stock. Went tonight and picked up the Ajika seasoning blend, molasses cookies, lemon bars, madelines, some tea, and the grapefruit body butter. I looked for the carrot cake but it wasn't there and the employees didn't know when they would have it.
