Limes and lemons are good and cheaper than other stores. I love the corn relish, it brightens up many dishes. I do buy cheese, nuts and dried fruit there. They do take anything back, but what is the point of that? Also, I think their organic chicken products are tough. But, I still love enough products there to make TJ's my main groceryNanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310093154986217136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565804864045167406.post-83090994261507752662013-03-12T11:22:25.774-04:002013-03-12T11:22:25.774-04:00Hate to say it, but I've had similar experien...Hate to say it, but I've had similar experiences @ TJ's. And it's with newly purchased items! Green cottage cheese, their wonderful gazpacho goes bad if you don't eat it asap, and the WORST was a package of Empire kosher brand chicken - smelled very bad when opened. My friend also had a bad one she bought when shopping with me.

The one where I shop seems fine, although I must admit that I have only gotten produce there a few times because we have a Produce Junction much closer to our house than TJ's! In any event, this salad looks good, and now I simply must try that TJ's Olive Tapenade.

I've consistently been unhappy with it. <br /><br />Also, I've bought cottage cheese on more than one occasion only to find it green with mold when I open it up at home (and it was still sealed and well before the sell-by date). Of course they're happy to refund or replace but I'm kind of leery now.

Fresh is much better than bagged, and read the ingredients first, because a lot of their stuff is not "organic" and is from other countries that don't have the same guidelines as we do for food safety.<br /><br />BeckaBeckanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565804864045167406.post-3932184455066637032013-03-11T11:14:42.581-04:002013-03-11T11:14:42.581-04:00great recipe and post!great recipe and post!The Food Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813307597564913781noreply@blogger.com
