The name brands I get there are Tofutti "Better than Cream Cheese", Soy Dream soy milk, Milton and Ezekiel breads, McCann's Steel Cut Oatmeal,Yves good ground (packaged soy meat alternative to ground beef for tacos) found in deli section all because they are cheaper there than at mainstream grocery stores. My TJ's takes q's.

I heard from a couple of employees that they were going to drop all their name brands as of last Jan. 1, but I see they are still there. Maybe it is just until their contracts expire.

The TJ brand products I get are their nuts, canned black beans, and cereal bars because they are cheaper there (unless I find the beans on a good sale). I also like their meatless meatballs (frozen) but my family is not that crazy about them. I like their candied ginger (in nut/dried fruit section) and frozen broccoli because it stays green when I steam it and they have a frozen mixture called soyatash (sp? - corn, edamane, and red peppers) and "greens with envy" (asparagus , spinach, edamane, green beans and broccoli).

My family loves the carrot muffins there but I forget the bakery name. They are large muffins, 4 to a pack and are wonderfully moist....yummm, the best! However they are $3.99 for the package I think so they are special treats occasionally.

One way they keep their prices down however is the way they purchase. If something is not selling...it's gone temporarily or permanently.

Have a good time! It's a nice atmosphere as the employees seem to really like working there and definitely put their customers first.
