I just got their bi-monthly newsletter and I see 2 interesting things.
I assume we all get the same newletter? This is the one for
August/September.

On page one is about Cheesy Cheddar Dogs. This sounds worth trying to me.
Even better is the review on page 10... the "Greek Style Feta Dressing."
That sounds like a very nice salad dressing to me. I'll try it.

I've still never been to TJ even though they are only 1.5 miles away. These
2 items might finally inspire me to check out the store this week.

They have samples tastings in our TJ's and I really like that - pretty
much something that they're offering every week tastes good enough to
buy and bring home and get eaten. We don't repeat purchase many of
those things, but it's still nice to have some built in variety via
whatever they happen to be offering that week.

Do those dogs have cheddar cheese in their mix? Or do they have some
cheese "drops" solidofied into them here and there? The latter is
available here in Italy from just one brand, the sorry thing is they're
chicken dogs, so they're good just for children. If I want the real
thing I have to place slices of Fontina into a real servelade with my
hands. And since I'm already at work, wrap the dog in pancetta.

I often put cheese on my hot dogs - usually I'll put slices of cheddar
on both sides the roll, heat it in the toaster oven on 400 degrees or so
to let the cheese melt and the bun get a little toasted, then take it
out and put the hot dog in the middle - yum! No need for a Cheesey
Cheddar Dog here.

I don't like cheese dawgs at all, so I'd pass even were they for free.
And I still haven't figured out how anyone can eat fehta cheese
without vomiting... I like Greek salad, especially the olives, but I
always tell them to hold the fehta.

Try French "feta." Bulgarian can also be good.

don't buy their Pimento Cheese, it is the most disgusting item of food
I have ever purchased in a store. Cheese mixed with some sort of
lubricant? To the owner of Trader Joes: you don't let someone in
California formulate the recipe for a southern delicacy such as
pimento cheese.

Don't make assumptions. The nearest Trader Joe's is 125 miles away.
There wouldn't be any point in my getting their newsletter.

It's obvious you shouldn't even be replying in this thread.

I don't understand their appeal. Most of what they sell can be bought
anywhere these days. About 90% of the produce I bought there turned out to
be rotten. You can't tell because it's tightly shrink wrapped. Much of
their food is run on shared lines so if you have any food intolerances or
allergies, it's not safe for you to eat. They've had too many food recalls
for my liking. And the few times I did find something that I liked, they
quit selling it.

I'm positive that TJ's sells nothing I haven't had much better growing
up in Brooklyn... in fact I'm positive that TJ's sells nothing I can't
buy at my local Super Walmart. But still no one can by any food
better than I ate in my Brooklyn.

The only part of NY that I lived on was Staten Island. Very good Italian
food there. But if I wanted something else? Not so much. Mostly I bought
that at the military commissary (that *was* in Brooklyn) or when we went to
PA.

They have poisoned me twice. Their seafood SUCKS as it is more than 50%
water. I just buy cheese and wine now. Their breads are really not so
great. Butter is a good deal. They used to be renowned for dried fruits
and nuts but those have all but vanished.

the food recalls were due to manufacture "errors" the same errors that caused
the same products (and others) to be recalled from other stores.
