Very affordable and very good. Local beer. </p> <p>Skip their premade stuff like wraps and sandwiches. They've never been good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-me-a-trader-joes-shopping-list#post-2669657 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 23:43:55 +0000 Kimberlybee 2669657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cookie butter, pumpkin scone mix (might be out of season right now) and frozen macaroons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-me-a-trader-joes-shopping-list#post-2669586 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 20:23:29 +0000 autumnleaves 2669586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their dill pickles in a jar are my favorite.
