Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

For me it's the fact that 90% of their stuff is preservative free. As someone who has NEVER been able to eat a prepared frozen food or marinade it is literally changing our lives. All of the sudden we can have something in the freezer for an "easy meal" verses another plain pasta night. My kids laugh because I get so happy about actually marinating our food.
And unlike Betsy, my family could live on TJ's salsa of any kind. For Super Bowl Sunday we had chips and salsa for dinner. We tried every single salsa in the store!!!!! By far our favorite is the black bean salsa at $1.49 a bottle. Beware though, it has a kick to it!
Oh and while I don't drink beer, yes Betsy, hubby LOVES the local beer section! I love the $5 bottle of wine!

I do have to agree about the portions though, they are tiny compared to our family size. We absolutely LOVE the frozen crossaints but lave to get 4 boxes to feed our family. We did it for Christmas breakfast as a special treat and my brother ate 5!

It is much better when it isn't crazy crowded (even if you don't get a balloon

).

I'm bumping this since I have my house on the market and need prepared foods ideas. With five kids at home and husband in TX, no time for cooking!

One other TJ food we love are their chicken and cheese tamales. I also like the sweet corn and cheese, but it's not a hit with the kids.
