Re: Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Sat, January 15, 2005 - 2:35 PMIt's my belief that the TJ's dressing is really Annie's with TJ's label...it happens sometimes. TJ's fights hard to get low prices and sometime national brands don't want to have their name associate with cheap/affordable things so they will offer it to TJ but repackage it.
I could be wrong. -

It's true! The TJ's brand beer is actually Gordon Biersch, except it cost $2 less per 6-pack. My German husband was thrilled when he tried the TJ's brand I bought for him...and when he told the store manager how much he liked it, the manager confided in the beer behind the TJ's label.

Mon, June 20, 2005 - 7:31 AMI think she's talking about Annie's Goddess dressing as opposed to TJ's Goddess dressing.
And there is a newer TJ's Goddess dressing. I'm NOT sure if the taste changed but the packaging did.

Tue, February 22, 2005 - 9:33 PMStephen's Hot Sipping Cocoa in Mint Truffle. You can order it from the manufacturer's website, but of course, only by incurring pricey shipping expenses that make it almost 3x as expensive as picking up a can at your local TJS.

Re: Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Fri, March 18, 2005 - 10:35 PMYes. They replaced one of the few salad dressings I can eat:
Annie's Seasame/Shittake
with the inferior Joe label type. Trust me. It is more than a label swap. Give us our Annie's back!
-
-
Re: Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Sat, March 19, 2005 - 10:27 AMSpeaking of the inferior Joe label type, they also replaced Seventh Generation dish soap with a Trader Joe's version that just isn't the same. Wish they'd bring back the Seventh Generation--I hate having to pay almost $4 for a bottle of it at Whole Foods.

Re: Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Wed, April 6, 2005 - 9:44 AMThe low-fat Pumpkin Cranberry tea loaf is back--in San Francisco anyway. I saw some on the shelf at the Bay St. location last night. Incidentally, TJS sells these 3-packs of Belgian chocolate bars at the checkout stands, but they never seem to have the white chocolate with crisped rice bars anymore. Does anyone know whether they're gone for good or whether the stores just can't keep them in stock? -

I don't think they ever carried it, but they have other flavors, maybe they'll get mint soon- It's the least soy tasting.

Re: Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Wed, April 5, 2006 - 10:33 AMMore Wasabi cashews, please! Lots of folks searching the internet
for TJs Wasabi cashews. I think they are made by Dan. D in Canada,
and am about to email them. I am addicted to these cashews. Much
better than the common available everywhere wasabi peas! -

Sat, September 10, 2005 - 7:59 AMMy roommate was ruined by the Thai Peanut sauce
being discontinued. I was standing in the aisle the other day and I overheard the employees listing off all the stuff they had just discontinued... I heard something else about a lemon muffin mix?
Fortunately my TJ's has a "New arrivals" display. That sorta makes up for some of the stuff going missin'.
Anyone had the Priga Kahn (sp?) frozen Thai beans? OMG, so yummy...

Re: Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Fri, September 30, 2005 - 5:17 PMsheesh, maybe all of your TJ's has been gettin those canned dolmas from Greece for years (which I do like, most of the time--sometimes though, I will get a can where the dolmas ain't so good), but like 6 months ago TJ's came out with a TJ's brand in a jar, and they were awesome--but they are no more. -

Re: Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Sun, October 16, 2005 - 12:50 PMI can relate to your devastation after TJ's discontinued the Chipotle Sauce...my son told me a few months ago, "Do NOT let us EVER run out of this stuff..." I bought 8 bottles and luckily we still have a couple left!
I've worked at TJ's for about a year and it's frustrating to the employees, as well as the customers, when something is discontinued.
Items get "discontinued" for several reasons...
-slow sales
-supplier problems
-the product is seasonal and limited supply
-change of label...ie. label becomes TJ, but product is made by the same company...
-sometimes it's a shipping problem and the product is not discontinued. Be sure to ask about the product that is MIA on the shelves...it may be expected back very soon!
Be sure to get the Customer Service number and call them if you want a product back. If enough people request it, sometimes a product comes back!
Also...be sure to let the management (or customer service) know about products you LOVE...and employees that have helped you...it's always nice to hear the good comments, too! :-)

Re: Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Thu, December 1, 2005 - 8:14 PMNo Cocoa! Little tins of Dutch exquisiteness? Oh... this is a sad day for my baking plans..... you haven't experienced the rush of Christmas sugar til you've tried one of my cocoa frosted marshmallow cookies. Only made once a year, cause they are a PAIN! Van Houten is so much better than Hershey's! Good thing I still have half a can from last year.
And I'm on a diet this year - maybe only make a double batch, instead of quadruple as per usual.
But I'll keep my eye out - sometimes they stock holiday specials randomly. -
