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.}

Details

The giveaway winner will receive the following:

(1) 11 oz jar fig butter

(1) 13 oz jar cocoa almond spread

(1) 14 oz jar biscoff spread

(1) 8 oz bag milk chocolate covered toffee popcorn

(1) 6 oz bag peppermint pretzel slims

(1) 12 oz container mini milk chocolate peanut butter cups

(1) 12.5 oz container dark chocolate covered mint espresso beans

(1) 2.18 oz jar cocoa pearls

(1) 2.47 oz sugar/chocolate/coffee bean grinder

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. :)

Kimberly said...

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!

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!

Talar said...

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!

Talar said...

Jan McDiffett said...

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 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!

amberlindemann said...

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.

Stephanie @ Confessions of a Trophy Wife said...

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.

Trader Joe's is 20 minutes away and we always pick up peanut butter, cheese, and their brownie mix!

Dennis said...

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.

Rosemary said...

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.

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

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!

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 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.

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.

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.
