Top 15 Things To Buy At Trader Joe's In 2020 - Healthy Grocery Haul

[@melissacadorette7857]

Bobby, you need to open a grocery store chain that only carries "Bobby approved" foods!! I would definitely be shopping there exclusively!

[@nataliagagner1431]

Melissa Cadorette such a great idea!

[@debbietaylor8091]

With online shopping

[@Mommato5plus1angel]

Yes!! Closet Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are an hour away. And Costco is 40 minutes on a good day, but even my Costco doesn't have half the stuff Bobby approves. We aren't very blessed in the grocery store market.

[@onebigfoodiefamilyobff2238]

Yes!!!

[@jessicagray1289]

Melissa Cadorette Yes Agee ❤️

[@donnamarie6840]

I think purchasing and filming later is a better idea. Then you aren't rushed when you discuss the product and can add a taste test.That is the way many other KZbin channels do it. If you could pop the price on the screen as others do or say it would be very helpful. Good video. Thanks !

[@jamiemccarthy4369]

donna marie Totally agree, LOVE the purchasing and filming later! There was some pricing that I was able to write down which is so helpful for those on a tight budget!

[@lorrie2878]

[@christinediaz4553]

YES! I love this format so much more, for the same reasons Donna Marie mentioned. I have shared this video with a hoard of friends. I went to TJ's in McKinney, TX the day after viewing the video to buy 7 of the products he promoted. #LoveBobbyandArt!

[@muddlasvegas]

Rose 🌹 is absolutely adorable. I love the way that she looks at you when you’re talking. ☺️

[@bakmic4953]

I prefer this style of a haul review... you can add the taste testing to the Bobby Approved products vs. only using the ingredients list while filming at the store. Thanks Bobby and Art! 👍

[@sergiovalenti7255]

I don’t understand why they kick you out, you’re promoting them. I’ve actually started patronizing these stores since I’ve been watching your videos.

How much time does it take to make cookie dough ? Cheaper to buy bulk ingredients - unableached flour , organic butter , unprocessed sugar ( we use jaggery bought in Asian stores ) organic eggs . In 20 minutes of prep time , 40 min of baking , another 15 minutes of washing vessels we have a home made pound cake. Cookies and fudge is same prep time . Have you seen the 5 minute ice cream making video ! Engaging the kids will help them get off asking for , mom ! Ice cream ! We make lentil fudges on the fly . What we have observed during our grocery shopping is we waste money on buying a lot of duplicates ! Yogurt , flavored yogurt ! Chocolate cookies and plain cookies .we can always make a basic dough and divide into portions and add the variations . May be I sound too economical !!! We make this while the dinner is cooking. I *don't like to be in the kitchen* , so I use everybody's help at home :) Even a mom needs an extra 30 minute rest ! :) *Sugar has around 40 plus and counting names* , which we may not be able to identify on the ingredient list !

Thank you for not getting kicked out of TJ's again. This is a much more respectful approach and so much more relaxing for me. I feel anxiety watching you ignore grocers' no-filming policies.

Hi! I’m from Japan !! Furikake usually meant to be sprinkled on top of cooked rice!!! it’s the one of classic things for Bento Box for kids so kids would finish their bento box for lunch at school! a lot of students brings bento box 🍱 to school in Japan so but furikake is absolutely for everyone!!! sometimes we even use it for Japanese style pasta!!!

[@chocltelvr]

I’m not sure if Grocery Outlet is out your way, but man oh man it’s heaven. It’s one of those places when you see something grab it. No guarantees it will be there again. They’ve got the monkfruit white sugar in the bag for a great price. They had the Irish grass fed cheese wheel for .99 cents.

[@tree.65]

Furikake is traditionally a seasoning for Japanese rice. It's always a salty seasoning. So great on eggs, cauliflower rice, vegetables, fish. Tip: sprinkle on foods after they are cooked. Yummy!

Peanut powder can be used to create peanut sauce for chicken satay or chicken on skewers. A side of shredded salad mix works well here too. The salad dressing can be the peanut sauce as well. It’s a quick protein packed meal.

I’m obsessed with the Almond butter turmeric dressing. Drizzled over salad greens with chopped avocado and almond milk mozzarella shreds ( also from Trader Joe’s) with a pinch of everything bagel seasoning. And occasionally a dash or two of hot sauce. It’s incredible. I also love the dried mango as a snack the bag that the only ingredient is mango but it’s high in carbs but I only eat one piece at a time when I am craving candy.

[@greenivy6580]

I really like this format of video because you don't go into the products you dislike as much and just keep to the one's you like. I'm here for the Bobby approved products and best in class and sometimes seeing the one's you don't like is sort of a waste unless it has a lot of hype. Anyway, great content here and appreciate you doing the hard work for us.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Always thankful for the advice, Bobby

[@MicheleLHarvey]

FYI: The Almond butter Tumeric salad dressing has cane sugar in its list of ingredients, so I'm a little confused as to why it's the 'worst ingredient' in powdered peanut butter, but accepted in salad dressing.

[@silvia0224]

Michele Harvey, I think is b/c peanut butter powder should not need any sugar added to it, while it should be ok to have sugar added in dressings.

[@allend.287]

Another good one! I shop at Trader Joe’s almost everyday and I see many of their products that have canola oil to my disappointment ...I was thinking I would really like to ask TJ management about why they use canola oil in so many products ( I know it’s because of cost). If they would realize that by at least using olive oil or extra virgin instead that would be a huge positive change and I’m sure the added cost would be justified by customers paying the difference without bias. I would definitely pay more for the upgrade! HEALTH IS WEALTH!!

Bobby, it’d be nice if in your travels one day you could do the best things to buy at Lidl (don’t think they’re in the Chicago area). It’s a grocery store along the lines of an Aldi (they may be affiliated, not sure) and they’ve been popping up everywhere on the East Coast. One is literally one minute from me and just opened last month. Some of my favorite finds so far has been a five pound bag of lemons for $1.50 (not organic tho), a pack of the Beyond burgers for $3.49 and expeller pressed avocado oil for $4.99; it was on sale but it was also a full 17 oz. and the regular price is only $6.99. I’m really liking the store so far.

Hey I’m new to the channel and I have a lot of videos to catch up on. I know that you guys have made a video about what meats to buy at the grocery store previously. Could you please make another video on meats and talk about what is the best cut of meat to get and how lean should it be? My Father-in-Law is indian and he doesn’t eat beef or pork. When it comes to meat, he eats poultry, seafood, lamb, and goats. So a alternate to different cuts of beef and pork would be appreciated. I myself am struggling to decide how lean of a meat should I get. I eat a lot of ground chicken, turkey, and beef and have stuck with 93/7 lean. Should I get less leaner ones for more fat content, or stick with 93/7 and add fats from oils, butter, and cheese? I might even go as lean as 98/2 if I am able to find them near me. I’m in the process of starting a keto diet. I used to shop at a local grocery store (El Super) here in California because of the cheap prices (pound of boneless chicken breasts and drumsticks $.79!) but I doubt it’s healthy. It’s those meats that you get by standing in a line with a number, not prepackaged or labeled. Thanks to your videos, now I mostly shop at Walmart, Target, and Costco. Additionally, do you think you can have the Costco here in Montclair, CA 91763 stock up on your Cookbook? I looked for it in store and couldn’t find it. I would order it online, but the porch pirates got me 3 times last year, so online order is a no go for me for now. Thank you.

I live in Chicago, and yes, right off of Diversey, but not in the "trendy neighborhood".(but I am near Logan Square which IS very "up and coming", in fact, it's (almost) year round Farmer's market is one of the best in the City. So, because I live in Avondale, I guess we are not "chic" enough to have one "grace" our neighborhood. So....screw 'em. I can and have gotten what I need for my pantry needs at other stores, or online. If they want to be with the noses stuck up in the air, they can go to the bank without my money.

I really like when you and Art taste stuff for the first time and give instant, honest feedback. I actually would love to have a running list of thumbs up/down for you, Art and Dessi. In general, you can make pancakes/waffles using cookie mix; you just need to double the binder (egg/egg sub) and add some water (more for pancakes). And, just so you know, the pronunciation is "foo" ree kah kay (not "fur") and "no" ree (not "nor"). And the best prices for them are at an Asian (or a Japanese) market.
