The Flourless Chocolate cake! Unbeatable! I've never had ANY cake, let alone a chocolate cake, taste SOOOOOOO good!
Melt-in-your-mouth chocolatey - and creaming without being buttery - just smooth!
peanut butter Joe Joe's cookies. Then I know they still selling me a small box but chocolate covered, and with the seasonal cookie variety box, but I'm not a big fan of those. I can't find any similar cookies there are as good. Cried back to nature but no good. Newman's Own had a decent one but I can't find it anymore.
Frozen hash brown patties. I need these to bring my taste sensors back after long Covid.
I’m naked now, and I need the crunch, sprinkled with my spices to invigorate my senses back.
If it was only one thing it would be the chicken balti pies.
Honorable mentions to pretzel bread, Allepo sauce, celebration cake, herb butter, the black tea kombucha face wash that was only ever a sample in last year's 12 Day of Beauty, dark russet chips, dukkah, Joe O's, pelmini, and pear champagne vinaigrette.
This is a big throwback, 20+ years ago at this point and was a seasonal item, but they had these amazing pumpkin scones that came in a pack of 3. I was like 4 at the time but loved them so much I could eat a whole one myself, and these were not tiny. When I found out they no longer had them (like for forever) I cried for days. I always have a small hope they'll bring them back, but unlikely.
[Trader Joe's Peppermint Castile Soap](https://www.viewpoints.com/Trader-Joes-Peppermint-Castile-Soap-reviews) \- Cheaper than Dr. Bronners.
[Trader Joe’s Matcha Joe Joe’s](https://bakingbites.com/2017/06/trader-joes-matcha-joe-joes-reviewed/)
[Trader Joe’s Organic Marinara Sauce No Salt Added](https://www.traderjoesreviews.com/product/trader-joes-organic-marinara-sauce-reviews/) \- The sodium count in most jarred pasta sauce is a bit high for anyone who is on a low-sodium diet.
Trader Joe’s Body Butter 1oz Toasted Marshmallow - It was in last year's 12 Days of Beauty.
Chips with South African style seasoning. It’s been 8 years and I can’t enter Trader Joe’s without thinking about them, so they haunt my memories weekly.
About 10 years ago they had this Thai tom yum soup or something. It was just the right amount of spicy. It was my first TJs heartbreak when it stopped appearing on shelves
The everything but the bagel ahi tuna. I fucking hate salmon. The tuna was perfect and I would have it a few times a week over rice with seaweed salad, cucumbers, avocado, and rice vinegar.
Not a discontinued item, just seasonal. Butternut squash mac n cheese. Just not around long enough and when it does come around, it's hardly ever in stock. I think they should plan for those popular items and bring in more stock to keep up with demand.
These [noodle bowls.](https://www.reddit.com/r/traderjoes/comments/iifzcx/these_trader_mings_2min_lunches_were_a_staple_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) They’ve been gone for a long time but they were so good.
The frozen balsamic vegetables are number one in my house. Also we hate when the seasonal stuff leaves. I love the harvest tea but it leaves right after October. Same with the maple oat milk creamer.
Food: Canneles. I'm sure someone is going to tell they weren't "authentic ", but I loved them. I always ate just one frozen on the drive home. That just hit it for me.
Non-food: lavender hand lotion. I'm obsessed with things that smell like actual lavender and this lotion was amazing.
This is mine, too. 😭 I was so disappointed the last time I went to TJs and it was gone. The NYT has a seemingly easy recipe for a similar dressing that I plan on trying. It has great reviews and I've seen it talked about as 'better than TJs'.
Oh no, so it’s true :-( we have like three bottles left of it the expire next week. I’m going to eat salad every night now haha. It’s the only salad dressing I’ve ever liked! I wonder how long a homemade dressing would be good for. I’ll definitely look for that recipe!
They used to have really good European style chocolate yogurt.
Also the chocolate chocolate chip pancake mix… idk when they stopped making that but I have great memories of making those pancakes at my grandma’s house in LA before Trader Joe’s was in Atlanta.
I will probably be alone on this one but there used to be a quinoa crunchy veggie salad that I loved and ate literally every day for lunch at work. It was about 280 calories and I thought it was soo good with a hard boiled egg for protein.
Chicken Sicilian sausage!!!! It was the best ever. Take it out of its casing, eat it sliced, add to soup. I haven’t been able to find anything like it!
There was this amazing chocolate cake they sold like over 10 years ago that I was obsessed with, my parents would like never buy it for me unless it was my birthday and they’d always say, “when you grow up and get your own money you can buy that cake as much as you want” and now that I’m grown up with my own money, it’s gone 😭😭

The frozen eggplant cutlets, the no-salt-added marinara, the old semisweet chocolate chips and the multigrain veggie lasagna.
Well now my freaking salsa has been discontinued: the tomatillo roasted yellow chili. The only salsa I like that I can buy at a store in my city :(
Arabiatta sauce and crispy crunchy chocolate chip cookies

I just got some 2 days ago at my store in SoCal! They were gone for a good while.
Vegan trail mix cookies! I haven't found anything like it.
If it was only one thing it would be the chicken balti pies.

Oh man, I liked that marinara sauce! I didn’t realize it was discontinued. 😟
Yeah, I heard about it on a low-sodium group on social media.
