I subsist a little heavily on their TV dinners. And their jarred pears.

Man, I've been on hold with the bank for forever. I just want to make it so that when I get a new batch of cheques it's a duplicate order of the old batch, including the name imprint. I didn't think I'd have to tell them lower case "i" again. It's been 20 minutes, and she's still working on it.

I find TJ's dairy to be cheaper than my supermarket as well -- milk, cheese, especially yogurt.

I've found organic butter at TJ's that was cheaper than the regular stuff at my supermarket. (If only I had a TJ's I could get to more regularly.)

Another cute puppy - this one is fluffy!

Australian Cattle Dog crossed with Rat Terrier?

Definitely a terrier in the general fox terrier line.

I had to take Mr Peabody in for a follow-up blood test, and there was a woman with a black-and-white kitten who was dwarfed by the shoebox it was in. It was the runt of the litter and it had lost a leg, probably from a accidental injury by its mother, and the woman had adopted it from the vet. It kept peeking out over its blanket. So cute.

TJ's has some nummy frozen steelcut oatmeal too. Wish that was something Kelly could bring with her in a couple of weeks.

TJ's cheese is always reasonably priced. I love their frozen pastas in a bag. Dump that sucker into a bowl, and you have a warm, comforting dinner after seven minutes in a microwave. Of course, they claim that it serves 2, but they are lying. Or think that you're going to bother to make sides to go with it.

Or think that you're going to bother to make sides to go with it.

Is that why there's so little chicken tikka masala? I can stretch many of their meals to two dinners, but not that one.

And, sides totally never occur to me. I'm trying to avoid work, Joe.

Things we buy at TJs:

Produce! It's cheap and good quality. I always grab a bag of baby spinach, which I can use for salads, stir fry or Italian food.

I also get the sliced mushrooms, and bananas and often the heirloom cherry tomatoes. Limes are cheap there.

We also get the onion bagels but you have to store them in the fridge or eat them quick. They don't have preservatives so they don't last.

Get milk and cream cheese there. Get hummus, spinach dip and artichoke dip.

Down the frozen aisle: get frozen lunches for JZ. Usually the Italian things like the spinach lasagna or the cannolli, or the mexican like the black bean enchiladas, and usually a frozeen paneer thing.

Also usually get one of the frozen pizzas, spanikopita, gyoza (pork usually).

I buy the cutup frozen fruit for smoothies, especially the peaches, mangoes and mixed berries.

Drink aisle: lime flavored fizzy water. Emmett likes the sweet ice tea (sugar, not HFC).

I always get some of the water crackers, they're as good as Carr, but they only cost 99 cents.

Dry pasta is good and cheap there. I also get my black beans there pretty often.

I don't buy much meat or bread at TJ's.

I like most of the TJ's breads. They tend to have much shorter ingredient lists than the usual grocery store brands. The frozen pad thai is really good. Also, a bunch of their things are relabeled brand name things -- they've got a few salad dressings that I think are Annie's, and their frozen pizzas used to be Amy's Kitchen, but I think they changed that. Last time I checked, the frozen burritos were still Amy's Kitchen, and at less than half the price.

I've found good tea at TJs.
