Yes I am a Trader Joe's Junky.

Whether its the happy Hawaiian shirts the grocers wear, the constant bell ringing, or the infamous Two Buck Chuck...I keep coming back for more.

So let me ask, whats on your Trader Joe's grocery list?

My favorite thing is the sesame honey cashews – 15 carbs per quarter cup serving, and they are SO good. I also like the greek yogurt, and loooooove the spicy hummus (although I have to watch it with that because I can never seem to limit myself to the 2 Tbs. serving size).

Somebody else mentioned the blueberry flax meal ... I'm definitely going to look for that next time we go to TJ's. Thanks for the tip!

Wild chuck light tuna and their no sugar added mayonnaise. I also love their sunflower seeds, almond meal and Larabars.

frozen cubes of crushed garlic

In the freezer section they have crushed garlic that keeps good for a long time and when you need som garlic, just push out a frozen cube and your hands don't even smell like garlic. Each cube is one clove.

I've never been to a Trader Joe's and the nearest one is about sixty miles away. Are the stores set up by sections, and is there one specifically for diabetics? Or is the entire store considered diabetic-friendly?
