The "Do Not Buy" Trader Joe's List!

clubtraderjoes: These are the worst hot dogs I've ever eaten!

Claudia: So glad you agree!!!

ModelPerfect: You're both completely wrong on this product. How dare you try to influence the public against vegetarian food. If you're a vegetarian, which neither of you are, this is the best & closest tasting [non-meat] product with a ton of protein that tastes exactly like a real hot dog. Even the color, the smell, the texture is exactly like a real hot dog, not to mention is is very low calories, high in protein & best of all, it's cruelty free. Not a single animal perished or suffered to offer this product to the pu

KC: Smart Dogs rule!!!! don't listen to this review. They are vegan and not a dead animal. Guilt free eating! Yum yum

Claudia: Thanks for sharing..I really wanted to purchase on my last trip to TJ's. Glad I didn't!

Paula Thompson Staton: I just ate one of these....put it in the microwave and monitored it closely and it was wonderful....

Sandra Hamilton Rodenas: Actually these are great, I toast them in the toaster oven. Alas, I was at Trader Joe's in Columbia, MD on Wednesday and was told they have been discontinued. I am so sad.

Larissa: This sounds disgusting, can't believe it made it into production

Karyn Cooks: I loved these!

Marinka: You had me gagging at its title

Joycelyn Watterson-Woods: I really liked these, but made my own version after buying them one time and mine were better ( and I am not a good cook)

Celtic Leo: I actually liked these the first time I had them. I don't know why. I bought it again and it tastes really icky. Since I had nothing else to eat, I actually put ketchup on it to get it down. Will not be buying again !

jim: you know what gerbil cage sawdust tastes like ?

Claudia: This is a great article although the wraps I may disagree with. Some of them are pretty good

Krista: SO true. I stick with the Farmer's Markets for my produce.

Claudia: Amen sister! Lol, mine didnt even make it to my desk. I had one sniff and taste at the kitchen and it went straight to the trash!

Eden Godsoe: Sushi is not something that you want to look for deals on or be cheap about.

Karyn Cooks: They taste nearly identical to Morning Star, in my opinion.

Jackie: I'd have to disagree Karyn, I tried one of these patties with one of the morning star for a little taste test and these sausage patties were definitely not as tasty as the morning star.

hongie327: I agree. They taste weird once you bite into them and start chewing. They don't have quite as distinctive a smell as they do in taste. It's a taste that is hard to describe except it reminds me of puke or other gastrointestinal acids. Makes you wonder where the puke taste comes from.

nick: taste is slightly subpar to Morning Star which is GMO soy TJs is not (supposedly) so the trade off OKw me (plus I always seem to get an "extra" patty - 7 instead of 6

ModelPerfect: What tastes weird is those bits of real fat, tissue & REAL veins NON vegetarians eat in "real meat" products. These Veggies Sausages are a bit spicy & can cause some heartburn in sensitive consumers but as a whole, they are high protein, cruelty free & much, much better for your waist line & your heart.

Claudia: What a bummer! I have actually considered buying this but thanks for the heads up!

rubberduckyoverlord: I actually was given an orchid from TJ for a concert 6 years ago and it is still blooming and lovely..

Dorina.a.avram: I bought two and both are doign great!

bellachisa: Actually TJ's orchids are the first one to make re-blooming. Only one IMPORTANT thing you have to do is..... when your orchid finishes blooming, you MUST re-pot into the larger container with a new bark and a sphagnum moss. TJ's orchid is potted in THE TINY CONTAINER in the pot, which does not give the orchid an air and eventually all those precious roots will die. When it is getting warm, place the orchid outside where the orchid can receive an eastern morning sun, preferably under the tree where has a

Larissa: Thanks for the tips, will definitely try repotting next time.

KC: I buy these orchids all the time!!!!! They are LOVELY!

Megan Elizabeth: I disagree. I just had this for the first time tonight and thought it was FABULOUS. I made tacos out of it and added taco seasoning, canned tomatoes and black beans and couldn't stop sneaking bites. Definitely one of the better meat-less products I have had and I have been a vegetarian for 4 years.

Larissa: Maybe I ought to give it a second try and season it properly this time, thanks for the tip!

ModelPerfect: Yet another wrong review regarding a great tasting, non meat, cruelty free product by a NON vegetarian. This is one of the better "non meats" out there. The texture is much like crumbled real beef & so is the look. The taste needs a bit of seasoning but still good. This high protein, super low cal content make it an excellent choice.

KC: Again I am agreeing with @ModelPerfect on this, this is a GREAT TASTING vegan meat product! Don't listen to the negativity here on this product.

Claudia: Say it isn't so! i do recall buying some the other day and being disappointed with the taste and texture.

Dkz03001: I tried this twice just to be sure it was as bad as I remembered. I like the reduced guilt mac/cheese and ziti, so I thought that this would be a great addition to the collection. But, it's not. The chicken is rubbery, pink, and tastes a bit foul. It lays on top of a pool of liquid - I don't know why "risotto" is the consistency of soup in this frozen meal. The flavor just did not sit right with me, and I had to throw it out the second time I had it.
