I didn't know that they had mochi ice cream! TJ's is not so close for me so I usually race thru in between clients--in the summer I pack a cooler so I think I miss some of the good stuff s/t and just go for the regular stuff I know I need. I just had my friend pick up that stupid mochi from our local Asian supergrocery store but it is like $5.99 there. Who knew? I don't know how I missed that one...my 4 year old loves green tea mochi so much...thanks

They accept MFC coupons but they don't double...

Hubby & I love so many things from there. Our recent fav are the gummy tummies gummy penguins. We arm wrestle over the bag.

We love their frozen marinated fish (Mahi Mahi and Ahi Tuna). They are both quick and absolutely delicious! Yummy!

Where are you located? Anyone know if the store in Vancouver, WA accepts coupons? Also, are prices there better than the Safeway and Albertsons in the area? We are moving there soon and I'm trying to find out the best stores to go for decent deals on great food. Like other posters have noticed, I know that I could spend $ on coupon loss leader items at the grocery store but it might be junk. I'm hoping some veteran couponers can weigh in as to my couponing prospects in Vancouver/Portland area!

Thanks!

We buy lots of things from there but my all time fav. is Cilantro & Pecan dip. I eat it with almost anything. Crackers, bread, tortilla chips etc. etc.

In Southern California they do not accept MFC unless this is something recent? About a year ago I tried and was told they don't accept them. Where is the Trader Joes you go to that they accept MFC?

I'm missing my TJ's, since we moved from NoCA to TX 2 years ago....but when I visit, I bring a large double sacked paper carry on bag on the plane of my favs: the Pound Plus Bittersweet bars (I recently used it melted in Chocolate Mousse, and it was as good as the premium choc I had been buying), Triple Choc Chip cookies tub, Lemon Ginger Cremes, whole wheat english muffins, whole wheat cinnamon grahams, fruit leathers, Cinnamon Raisin bread (altho not whole wheat), ww tortillas, ww pastas, nuts and dried fruits (cherries in brownies.....yummmm), milk choc clouds, and turtles....can you tell I have a sweet tooth craving for TJ's now?

If I was local, and didn't have the 3 oz. limitation on fluids, I'd stock up on the Indian Simmer sauces, masala, curry, punjab, light coconut milk, olive oil, fresh salads for a meal on the way home, meatballs for sandwiches on their Pugliese rolls, frozen taquitos, chicken nuggets, fresh bruscetta and a baguette.

I'm going to stop now, cuz I'm getting homesick!
