the gazpacho is excellent. clocking in at an astounding 90 calories for the entire container, it's full of flavor. it's awesome to have some in your fridge. when i walk through my kitchen i can hit a few spoonfuls without an ounce of snacking regret. perfect boredom food.

related to the original item, the refrigerated spinach & goat cheese quesadilla is also good. it's a little under 400 calories as well, but it's fairly overloaded with fat so i'd suggest eating it more sparingly. the chicken and cheese (queso blanco) is good as well, around 300 calories with less fat.

the frozen alaskan cod and crinkle wedge potatos make a super easy fishnchips dinner that is quite good.

Cherry Cider is AMAZING! Everyone should give it a try - you won't be disappointed.

They have a great beer and wine selection - try out lots for a great mix.

All of the food is great.

I thought Whole Foods was just like a pretty standard "upscale" supermarket (similar to Gelson's). So isn't this like saying "I prefer expensive grocery stores with some nice premium brands over TJ's?" Just curious, cause I never go to Whole Foods and wanna know if I'm missing out.

I really like TJ's frozen eggplant, spanakopita and the gyozas (which I think someone mentioned).

yeah, TJs is super cheap but excellent for the price.

whole foods has great food but you get gangraped just by stepping in the door.

I would give it another chance. Or maybe you just don't TJ well?
