Congrats Amy Kelly! You should have an email from me, please reply with your mailing address so I can get your prize off to you.


Chances are, you've probably heard quite a few bloggers talk about their love of certain Trader Joe's products. If you have a Trader Joe's where you live, maybe you've nodded in agreement, or chimed in to mention your favorite product. I've baked with their mini peanut butter cups no fewer than three times, and there are always several commenters who express their disappointment that they don't have a Trader Joe's close by. I can totally relate - it was only a few years ago that they built one here in RI. (Luckily, they chose a location that's about 30 minutes from my house, which keeps me from going more than once a month but whenever I step foot in there I do some serious damage to my bank account!)
So, today, on this 3rd day of giveaways, I'm going to hook one of you up with some of my favorite things from Trader Joe's, including the infamous mini peanut butter cups! The last time I was there I had so much fun picking out the items for this giveaway; I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do! Additionally, I'm including in this giveaway a jar of the infamous biscoff spread that's taken the blog world by storm over the past few months. Several people have told me they can't find it where they live, so I thought it would be a fun addition to this giveaway :)
{PS - I was originally planning to open this giveaway internationally, but due to the potential for issues with customs, I've decided to limit it to US residents. I'll make it up to you by ensuring one of the last 2 giveaways is open worldwide.}

I can't express how excited this post makes me. I don't currently have a Trader Joe's close to me, but there will be one opening in my city later this summer and I am sooooo excited!!! I just recently got to visit my very first Trader Joe's while in Chicago and I couldn't help but squeal about everything I saw. Since I was on a trip, I couldn't really shop much, but I did pick up some Candy Cane Joe Joe's for the holidays. :)

I have a TJ's near me but the biscoff spread is never in stock! I've found in at shaws a few times though. Love trader joe so much but somehow I've never tried the PB cups?!
I tweeted about the giveaway (@thatwinsomegirl)!
we don't have a trader joes anywhere near us but i always hear such great things! i hear we are getting one about 100+ miles away... i'll have to make a trip when it opens up to check it out!
I absolutely ADORE Trader Joe's! I moved to Austin from Los Angeles about a year ago, and TJ's is one of things I miss most!!! I love so many of their things - their bottled Indian curry sauce is amazing, the fresh baked bread is delicious, and I am absolutely addicted to their pomegranate seeds, ahi tuna, and dried strawberries!
Love TJs! I get all my dairy there.

Happy to like you on FB!
No Trader Joe's! I live in Texas and we currently don't have any TJs in this state. However, I've heard that they are coming soon! I was able to shop there when I lived in California, though, and I really liked their cereals!
I have "liked" your blog on Facebook
Yes, there is one near me and I'm in LOVE with their holiday dark chocolate mint marshmallows!!!
There is a Trader Joe's nearby to me and I LOVE it! It's hard to pick just one favorite product, so I'd have to say I love their chocolate-covered stuff -- always different, always delicious!
and i follow you on facebook!
Yes, I actually have two within less than 5 miles! :) My favorite product is their better n' peanut butter! I have a bottle at work and at home at all times. The best part is it's delicious and have the calories of regular peanut butter!
i'm a veritable trader joe's regular. i love the veggie masala burger!
Sadly I don't have one near me...but I am crossing my fingers, their stuff looks so good!

I love Trader Joe's! They have a couple in STL which is not far from where I live. I am currently in love with their frozen veggie burritos and any flavor of their greek yogurt!
Not in Dallas,but coming to Ft worth. Stock up on their large Belgian choc bars every time I go home to Virginia. Going Christmas day-will be hitting TJ's several times while I am home
No TJ's here! :( I've never even been in one but I love reading blog posts about it.

I don't have one near me :( But i love everything I have had when I visit family. I really like the flatbread they have and hummus too!
My favorite TJs item is meatless meatballs. We have to drive 2 hours to get to the closest one though, so I usually buy tons when I'm there.

thanks for the opportunity.
We have a Trader Joe's near us. I don't know that I have a favorite item, I feel overwhelmed in there! I don't think I've ever been unhappy with anything I've tried though. My husband's favorite item is their Everything Bagels.
I've never been to TJ's...the closest one is 100 miles away. I would like to make a trip someday though...I hear their almond butter is awesome!

Yes! I love the caramel sauce and the peppermint oreo's. Well, really I love it all but I wanted to narrow it down some. :)

Nope, no TJ's here in Utah! I've been to the store once and it was a fun store and wish I had more $ to spend there!
Yes, I do have a TJs near me, and my favorite product is their Tuscan white bean hummus. I can't any other hummus, now that I've spoiled myself with TJs'!

Trader Joe's is 20 minutes away and we always pick up peanut butter, cheese, and their brownie mix!
I do have a TJ's relatively near me. Unfortunately, I don't go there very often. When I do go, I enjoy their wine selection and many of the cheeses - especially the goat cheeses.
No, I live in Albany, NY, and we have been lobbying Trader Joe's for years, but they have refused to move to the area (so far!) Whenever I travel to a city that has Trader Joe's, I pack a big cooler in the car so I can shop, shop, shop! Their frozen Indian meals are great.
The closest Trader Joes is about anhour away so we don't go very often! I love it though!

Love TJ, my favorite thing are those Chocolate Croissants that you let rise over night! Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm!

Oh my goodness, yes there is! My favorite thing from there is the little gummi penguins with the jelly filled tummies. We dont get to shop there very often though, because my mom is always scared she will spend too much money and time :D
no, but one is coming soon!
blueblanket@hotmail.com
We don't but I have often wished we did. I've never been inside one. We are moving soon- I should check if there will be one there.
We don't have a TJs anywhere near me, but I did check one out once when I was in California and I loved it! I'm jealous of you people who have one close by!

I live on an island... need to take a ferry then drive for an hour to get to Trader Joe's!

Mine is about 5 minutes away...I'm there once a week. Too many favorites to list! Of course, the candy cane JoJo's are on top during this time of year :)

There's one about two hours East or three hours South. We try to get there 4-5 times a year. My favorite TJ item is their vanilla granola. They also have an amazing ham & gruyere thin frozen pizza.
We have a Trader Joe's in Dayton. I love that place, we go once a week! I love their unsweetened vanilla almond milk, the cocoa roasted almonds with sea salt and sugar and cookie butter!
I also liked you on facebook!
We have a Trader Joe's less than 5 minutes from us! We love their chocolate goodies and cat cookies!
Yes, I have a TJ's near my apartment! My favorite product is the chocolate toffee popcorn. I have such a weakness for it!
No Trader Joes in my small town unfortunately!
I do have a trader joe's close by! Love the mandarin orange chicken, everything bagels, mini peanut butter cups, corn salsa...how can I possibly just pick one?
i love trader joes! i have one by me and my favorite product is definitely their fresh pizza dough, sauce, and mozzarella. makes for an easy dinner!
Yes! my favorite is the steel cut oats! Can't beat it!
i "like" you on FB! :)
We don't have TJ's, I think the closest is 6 hrs from here in Vegas. A friend just brought me three little TJ's Triple Ginger Snaps and told me she wanted a clone of them. I think I did pretty well. But when we lived in Tucson, AZ there was one and I loved it. I can't even find that Biscoff spread anywhere here.

I used to live right down the street from Trader Joe's, but don't live anywhere near one anymore. :( I totally miss it! I loved their good prices on nuts as well as their chicken broth, cereals and snacks!!
No TJ near me, that's why I need to win!
I also follow you on FB!
my favorites are the 3 seed & honey bread, and also the bruschetta. but i love everything at TJs!
I have a trader Joe's down the block, and my favorite thing is the dried mangos!! YUM!!

Sadly no Trader Joe's near me here in Central FL. Will definitely have to check one out sometime...there's some yummy sounding stuff!
We just got one and I LOOOVE it! During this time of year, I love the cranberry covered chevre' log and the candy cane green tea!
I heart TJ's ad especially their seasonal cinnamon cheese. I look forward to it all year and it typically comes out around Thanksgiving.
I've only heard about TJ and we don't have one here in Utah. I'd love the chance to find a favorite.
We have a Trader Joe's close by and one of my many favorites is their Pumpkin Butter :)

i do have a TJ's but i still wouldn't mind winning this :)
i'm actually headed there tonight!
Our nearest TJ's is 25 minutes away. There are so many great things there, but a consistent hit in our house is the dark chocolate covered almonds - we always have a package in our cupboard.
I have a Trade Joe's about 10 miles away. Love it. They always have great products, but I've never tried any of the Loot that you have in your giveaway. Yumm.
