Things from Trader Joe's that you DON'T like...
Every time I go there, I always try something new....99.9% of the time, I love everything, but I have had a few instances where I was disappointed.
I know I have so many favorites, but here are a couple of things I have tried that I don't like:
-Confetti Rice (just had it today..ick)
-Veggie Egg Rolls
-Black Bean & Corn Enchiladas
what about you?

Didn't like the asparagus risotto or the chocolate covered bananas.

i had bought roasted chicken burgers from the refrigerator section, i wasn't a fan. also the turkey meatballs, i microwaved them though which may have been the problem but they came out hard.

It's not a Trader Joe's brand, but Better'n Peanut Butter. I know a lot of people love it, but I thought it was gross. Bring on the Skippy!!

DH hated the frozen chicken satay... He is not a fan of dark meat and he didn't realize they were mixed.

I am not a big fan of there rice mixes- too plain for me- the wild rice one in particular.

Re: Things from Trader Joe's that you DON'T like...
There have been a few things over the years that I really didn't like--
- Cashew butter (I don't think it was TJ brand that was the problem, I just did not like cashew butter in general)
- Frozen mini pepperoni pizzas... the pepperoni tasted spoiled! Maybe it wasn't frozen properly at the store?
- Blueberry juice blend... too strong for me, maybe if I had made a spritzer w/ seltzer I would have liked it
- One time they had "Vanilla Mint" yogurt. I love mint ice cream so I tried it. I gagged after one bite, it was like antacid-flavored yogurt. I never saw it there again, so I don't think it was a big success!
We've been shopping there regularly for YEARS, and I have to say 99% of the stuff is terrific.

Have had some bad luck with their fresh produce. I try to stick to their frozen stuff.

Not a fan of the chocolate covered bananas in the freezer section
Also did not care for their vegetable eggrolls or their vegetable samosas

Re: Things from Trader Joe's that you DON'T like...
I got some pre-seasoned fish once that was almost un-edible. It had parm and herbs or something but it was so overwhelming.
YUCK. I just get plain fish now and it is always good.

i've seen sweet potato bags sit for weeks - even beyond their expiration date. same for blueberries and tomatos.
