Let's go shopping at Trader Joe's and find the tp 10 things to buy in 2023...and they kicked me out! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Crazy how Trader Joe's kicks you out when so many of us go there BECAUSE of your recommendations. Your videos would be way more valuable than any commercial they could create.
And I was hoping to go there today. Think I'll skip that and go to Whole Foods instead. There's never a parking place at our TJs anyway.
They are getting free advertising. How stupid are they?
@@gailcrissinger835 lol I just commented something similar. I was about to get dressed for TJ run, but now, not gonna bother.
Probably a corporate policy that was created so that people could not come in and bash them. I would bet that if you could get in touch with them (someone higher up) you could probably get cleared to do it.
yes
Never understood why a public grocery store won’t allow recording. Costco seems to be one of the few stores that understand the power of people talking about their products. Free marketing.
Maybe Trader Joe's should watch this video and see how complimentary it is! Bobby is highly recommending their products! In fact, he says "best on the planet" more than once! Hey TJ - every time I see one of these videos I add items to my TJ shopping list!
I think it has more to do w privacy of other shoppers and maybe some kind of security measure.
@@SuziesCornerInLove I think that they don't want him pushing certain foods and leaving the other food on the shelf. They rather the customers buy what they want period, healthy or unhealthy.
@@SuziesCornerInLoveThat can’t be true because they record you when you’re in the store also. So does it matter?
Those ancient grain rolled oats make the best overnight oats imaginable. It's just enough chia seeds to make the milk turn thick and feel like cream and I use an organic monk fruit and vanilla extract to sweeten it. It's epic. It really doesn't need to wait overnight btw. I like my oats a little chewy also, so overnight is sub-optimal for me, but still delicious. Anyways when I go to eat it I throw in some crumbled up granola from this video. It's almost criminally delicious.
The same thing happens to Thomas DeLauer…getting the boot at Trader Joe’s. Sometimes he just resorts to taking pictures of the items/prices then gives a breakdown of the products in studio. Thanks for the info Bobby!
Trader Joes should pay You for the free advertising not kick you out ! LOL
You were very nice about it and kept on with promoting their good products . Well done for keeping your eye on the prize of helping people make good choices of what to eat. Thank you , I love your channel. 💗
I don’t understand why they don’t allow the video, it’s FREE ADVERTISING
It's probably because they know most of there products are not as healthy as they claim.
Yes. Trader Joe’s is not as healthy as they may seem. It’s frustrating. I love TJ but they use cruddy ingredients in many items hence why they keep their prices so low.
Because for every "good" thing, he'll point out bad. Most wont listen but they don't want their best seller, orange chicken, being left because some just realized it wasn't healthy. : )
Because it has negative connotations. Bobby tends to accentuate the good/great products they sell and dismiss or disregard those that aren't so good. Trader Joes is in the business of making money by selling all their products not just a select few.
On top of what the other comments say, he will almost always point out that you can find a product cheaper at thrive market, doing a sponsored video at a competitor's location, and not just thrive. Hr knows he's supposed to get prior approval, but they will also try to handcuff him in what he can & can't say.
I loved seeing you talk at home about the TJ products! Thank you! I am sorry you did get kicked out. I always buy what you recommend. Love your recommendations! 🎉
I love that chocolate chip cookie mix so much. When I mix it up I use peanut butter or almond butter in place of oil, and the texture is even better, if you like peanut butter cookies it's amazing. I freeze them once baked and take one out when I'm craving something sweet.
Great tips!
Bobby...you continue to be my guru for how to live a healthy lifestyle! My question is, you mentioned a Maple Horseradish salad dressing recipe. Can you please share? It sounds delicous!
I love how you didn't make a big deal about getting kicked out and just carried on. The show must go on !
Just had that lentil and brown rice pasta. Loved it. I cooked it longer and it's still firm. I'll try cooking double the time.
Bobby, thank you for being such a great food warrior for us!
Bobby, thanks for making your videos. I love them. And I also make sure most items I purchase are Bobby approved ✅ like jelly PB, dressing, etc. Thanks again
I just gotta say; you are flipping awesome!!! Thank you for all your great advice! You are soooooo inspiring and I have become so much more aware of the ingredients in foods and such. Thank you thank you and thank you 🙌🙏🎊💃🤸♀️
Hello Linda how are you doing,
where are you from?
I just started changing the way I feed my family after watching your videos. One thing I would make weekly is yogurt and granola but every granola either had processed oils and or cane sugar.
But I found a great recipe with organic oatmeal, almonds, honey for so cheap and it’s soooo good! So easy to make 😊
As someone who has worked at TJs, them kicking you out is insane haha. At our store we would never. We would maybe say hi to your video and shout out TJs even. Being super friendly is kind of supposed to be TJs gimmick, though each store is run pretty individually.
good to know. usually Trader Joes people aren't so touchy.
Someone there may still intervene
Thank you for all the info you provide! Love my Seed! It's the best thing I've done to improve my health. I'd love for you to do a video on the "bad" about microwaves.
Thank you so much for all your videos! I'm doing a over haul with not only my food but whole house: soaps, shampoo etc I was wondering if you could please do a video on young living, I use their essential oils but they have a personal/health care line of soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, mighty pro, vitamins and supplements etc. And some other video that would be so helpful is a dog food video best kibble, best vacuums, best cleaning/disinfects supplies, more in depth of laundry soaps including if making your own DIY laundry soap if that's better, ? Thank you so much!
I just found this channel and am obsessed!!!! I watch his videos and actually take notes! I’m so happy that I’ve already been buying most of the stuff in this video. I love this guy!
Be sure to get the app! It's a game changer, makes healthy shopping so much easier!
App disapproves 95% of the things…
That's funny (odd funny). I was just on app looking at coconut milk and there were a lot of approved brands that had the extra ingredients. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
@@marktepper3440 Think about what you've just said. And, if you are relying on government sourced nutrition and diet guidance, good luck to you.
So sad they did that to you , but you always find the way to work it out . Good job, keep your hard work and God bless you
The question is did he get the permission to video inside, definitely he didn't knowing in advance he would not be allowed. When I go to an independent coffeeshop I would ask the baristas if they mind if I take a photo of the place, few times I have taken photos without permission. In general the policy of stores do not allow that you take photos or video inside, he got booted out that's the price you pay for being vlogger. No Trader's Joe manager would like to get a phone call and lectured from someone in the company's headquarters for allowing Bobby do what ever he pleases.
He's such a positive person. Never let's anything or person ruffle his feathers. I think he will live to a ripe old age.
You inspired me to hit my local TJ's. I love the place, and it presents many potential treats, but not all equally good for you. Appreciate your information immensely.
I don’t see Roses dressing recipe. Maple horseradish sounds yummy. I would love to try it.
Thanks so much for your helpful tips on what to buy at TJ's! Did I happen to miss Rose's maple horseradish salad dressing recipe posted? Thank!
Hey just discovered your channel this info is great we shop at most of the stores you look at. No Walmart though for me. Been watching your fast food reviews there awesome. Would love to see you do that again in a updated version. Like shack shake, honey grow, mission bbq, Mod pizza, habit burger,
&pizza, and chopped. These are suppose to be healthy fast food would love to see you investigate them.
You’re doing a good job showing us what’s healthy to find at Trader Joe’s. You are loved and appreciated! ❤
What cool timing! I have a medical procedure on Tuesday and will be near a Trader Joe's. I've already told hubby I want to visit it, especially now that I have your suggestions.
He has some other TJ videos that are great. Best to you on your upcoming procedure.
@@lorianne4936 Thanks! I've always skipped over them before, but I will look them up and check them out.
The coconut smoothie is my favorite thing ever! It's $2.99 here in Northern California. It's great to make chia seed pudding! Add a little raw cocoa and some cinnamon, so good!
Hi Bobby. Thank you for all you do to help us become healthier! I saw on the news regarding organic products. Starting in March, all the organic labels must have USDA ORGANIC on them. The eggs that you told us on the video didn't have the USDA ORGANIC on it. It said that organic only 75%. Please tell me on your next video. Thank you. I hope that you understand my writing ❤️🌞
Thanks for the list, very helpful. I'm going to grab some coconut smoothie and other items. I can't believe TJ kicked you out. They need to pay you for free advertising.
Hi Bobby. Absolutely LOVE your channel! Had a question about seed. Do you take 1 or 2 servings each day?
Thank you for the information, especially the bottled salad dressing. I use the phone app regularly.
Where is Rose’s dressing recipe?
Thank you for doing the hard work of checking out all these grocery items! I didn’t see Rose’s dressing recipe. Did I over look it?
I learn so much from you Bobby and I learn from you so much. I read the ingredients always
Your body is your temple… you do your research and determine what are the best ingredients that you can afford and remain healthy as you age🤔. Your health is your most prized asset. Shopping for various products occur in various stores for me… and i have a budget. Bobby, thank you for your research… always teaching us. I too am a fan of the goddess dressing. Rosie is growing and such a sweetie💕
Those organic coconut smoothies are so delicious!!!
Wow, sorry you got kicked out of TJ’s but glad you finally did a store I actually shop in, glad you finished it at home! I wish you’d do Fresh Market, that’s where I go often as it’s right in my town!! I’ve bought that yellow lentil pasta, (very good), the coconut milk, and their eggs. I missed the cauliflower rounds~ I’ve wanted a dupe for the expensive Outer Aisles! Last time, TJ’s didn’t have those eggs in stock, but I have gotten them before. at 3 dollars and change so much better than the pasture raised at Fresh Market & my other grocery, at 7 dollars and change! (probably higher now.)
For 100% coconut milk I recommend Arroy D Thai coconut milk found in Asian grocery stores for around 3-4 bucks for 32 oz carton
You do a great job in these videos. It’s critical that I read labels but it’s so time consuming. This definitely helps me.
Thank you so much for this Trader Joe's review. I love TJs but one lady shopper told me about a year ago, "You have to be careful because Trader Joe's sells a lot of junk." And I found that to be true. Your video proves it by reading labels and sussing out the bad stuff.
I'm looking for the recipe to the salad dressing. zipped throught the comments but did'nt see it. Thank you of all of your advise. I use the Bobby Approved app frequently.
Where’s the maple horseradish dressing recipe you mentioned??!!
I shop at that same TJ’s and had a feeling they’d give you the boot. So silly. Always find so much value in your videos.
Which location is it?
I guess Trader Joe’s doesn’t like free advertising.
True, it's free advertising. But! it's also adverse advertising which Trader Joe's has to protect their brand. 💭
If he was like many food bloggers online who just LOVE TJoes and do taste testing without health involved, they let them. Going over ingredients isn't going to help them overall
But really, do you know every person shooting video in their store is putting TJ in a positive light? No, didn’t think so. Probably better to not allow all. He is shooting in their store without permission. It’s Trader Joe’s call then. Anybody can shoot a video of their foods from the street or in their home, but best not to use their store with customers as your private studio. Just saying.
@@karen-ud1hc That’s true and now that I think of it a few videos, I did see weren’t them actually shopping in the store, but showing you there haul when they got home
I’m looking for that dressing recipe and can’t find it😢
Art wasn’t there to warn you from Waldo!
This is all so helpful. I love you app and I have been sharing it with as many people as possible. For those of us battling with underlying medical condition and need to eat clean, you app has been such a life changer. You are contributing to people living longer healthier lives😊
You’ve helped me so much to learn how to treat my body better! With food intake thanks
Bobby, today I found pasture raised heirloom chicken breasts and thighs at TJs!! I was sooo excited! They are sold in packages of about 1 lb and priced $7.99/lb and $7.49/lb I believe. You have to try them! They’ve always had pasture raised heirloom whole chicken but this is the first time I’ve seen the breasts and thighs which are much easier to handle. Looking forward to trying them!
Hi Bobby thank you for your insights to shopping healthy. Trader Joe’s is my favorite grocery. They have a brand of cold pressed canola oil for about $5. Can you please do a review on it?
Thank you for great finds!
Thank you for continuing the top things at Trader Joes at Home😀😉. The kids are sick of me saying..."Is that Bobby approved??" Love your channel. My best to you and your family. I'm concerned about your eyes Bobby🤗
Think for yourself. He makes plenty of claims that nutritionists have debunked
Thank you for doing this video. It’s nice to know there are some healthy items there.
i always wonder how trader joe can afford to hire so many employees in one store
They charge a lot of money for stuff. The products he touted as a great deal seem very expensive to me.
@Sandra Gray stop your whining! First of all trader joes isn't expensive. 2nd you go where you want and where your able to afford. These stores aren't out here to protect your wallet, that's something you gotta do on your own.
Only a few managers for whole store. All the employees you see are interchangeable. Most grocery stores have managers over each section in the store which they have to pay an inflated salary. Trader Joe's sprays and prays. 3 employees earning that one managers wage. That on top of the fact the store is so small you're more likely to run into employees.
Heinen's has even more employees than that, it's absurd. The more expensive stores like that have 5 times as many workers as a bigger cheaper store like Walmart.
@@fmthebaron Why is it absurd? The TJ employees are very friendly, and add to the customer experience, for many of us.
Also, have you considered the positive impact that having employees in every aisle of the store has on shoplifting? TJ's "shrink" due to theft is considerably lower than that of many other retailers. Most thieves are not going to steal of they have two employees in their sight at all times.
Glad to see ya back and feeling better!
you are a great parent. I am learning so much from watching you . I have pre-diabetes. I have 2 of your books that i purchased last month.
4:07 because flax seeds omega-3 aren't fully converted into EPA and DHA while containing lignans. "Lignans have properties similar to estrogen due to their similar chemical structures, and are also designated as phytoestrogens as they are capable of regulating estrogen levels [84]."
I'm usually go to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods and I love watching your top items to buy. I think I'll try out the coconut smoothy and grab a bag of Oatmeal you've recommended. Keep up the great work!
I love the cookie butter with the pretzel rolls! The roasted potatoes with onoin and peppers are insane as well😋😋
Great info as always!! That grainless granola is outstanding!!!
Bobby, your sweet daughter is beautiful. I love how she was going to give her doll a taste of her drink and then she sampled the coconut smoothie and says, "I like it." HA! Could you please share Rose's recipe for Maple Horseradish Creamy Dressing. I don't see it in the description.
yes, please!
@@mjmccarthy3693 I would like that recipe also.
I love your channel! I can't seem to find the salad dressing recipe....can you please share the recipe link
Love the organic coconut water! VERY similar to Harmless Harvest but a tad cheaper. I thought the organic coconut smoothie was pretty nasty.
Lol I just walked through the door from my TJ’s run & this is the first video on my feed. Wish I saw this before I went!
Our trader joe's just recently got the regular pasture raised eggs. They weren't available previously, and we don't have the organic ones unfortunately. Hoping they get them at some point, but until then I'll get the organic free range from Costco. I know free range and pasture aren't the same, but both get feed. I'd rather have the feed that's non-gmo personally.
I literally stop by the OG TJs 4-5 eves a week after leaving our building in Pasadena and somehow I’ve never bought any of these highlights here Bobby, will get ALL of these this week (and especially the pasture raised organic eggs)!!
The whole heirloom chickens are a good find as well.
I was wondering what kind of vitamins you give to Rose? My kids (7 and 3) have been getting sick a lot lately my daughter is a very picky eater so it’s hard to get natural nutrients in her. What kind of vitamin and/or super foods do you recommend to boost their immunity?
Since you have the rice, please make a video of that delicious fried rice you mentioned!! Pretty please!! 💜😊
Question...I just was told brown rice is not as good for you as white rice. I heard the same thing with olive oil versus avocado oil saying avocado is the way to go. I'm new to all of this so what are your thoughts! (Love your channel and I just downloaded your App!). Thank you!
I hate that they keep kicking you out, I love Trader Joe's. An employee told me they discontinued the Spicy Cashew dressing, that one was so good!
I love that you kept the store ejection in your video. It's ridiculous and if they watched your channel they would know you encourage many of to go shop there.
Since I started reading ingredients lists and following your advice, my gut problems have completely stopped. It scares me that there’s so much bad stuff we can put in our body even when we think we’re eating healthy.
I found lentil and brown rice lasagna sheets at Aldi! They are no boil sheets. They are very good! I stocked up
I really love your videos Bobby. You have helped me make better choices when it comes to what I pick up from the store. Thank u for such amazing content.
Dear Trader Joe’s: I normally avoid your store because I’m keto and it’s a candy store for me. But, because Bobby comes in there and shows me what’s good I will come back. I still don’t like that you kicked him out tho!
I just started taking Seed this week. Hope it helps my gut issues
Glad you are feeling better! 💙💙💙
Question when you cook the rice in the skillet is it frozen or do you let it sit out for a bit prior to putting it in the pan??
Thanks Bobby ❤
Question re: flax seeds, why are they used whole, when their nutrients are released only when ground? (At least that's what I heard years ago)
Thank you so much to care for your family, yourself and your viewers. Do you know anyone with diabetics or a site like yours that does the same but for diabetes that will eat right to eventually come off. Again thank you blessings. I love children will tell the truth.❤
I worked at Trader Joe's for five years, There's a lot of good items there however in their fresh prepared meals section they use canola oil in a lot of them also the reason the prices are lower than other stores is because almost every item is their own brand even though it's made by a lot of the name brand companies so they cut out the middle man and pass those savings on to the customers also all the eggs, Milk and Cheese is artificial hormone free and antibiotic free. And make sure to check the nutritional facts on the frozen meals as most of them overloaded with sodium.
The Green Goddess dressing is great! I use it as a dressing for fish or roasted veggies. It has a really good fresh herb flavor. Definitely not Kraft Green Goddess 😂.
I’ll try this!
Enjoy your reviews. Your being honest about various products. That detailed knowledge is what's making me take alot more time reading labels and doing product comparison. I've noticed in your average store. 80% of items aren't good for you. I see myself passing shelves of items I should stay away from.
I’m a life long shopper at TJ, and while I don’t buy every product I will say it is by far the friendliest alongside Whole Foods, and their prices are very fair. I would be lost without their ciabatta bread, frozen almond turnovers, chocolate coated biscotti bars, fresh corn tortillas, and raspberry Greek yogurt… along with so much more. You really can’t compare the 2 stores, Trader Joe’s inventory is a small, mostly store brand selection, that also caters to a “select” crowd like Whole Foods. Few stores are perfect. That said, every store deserves the right to deny their customers the right to use it as a private filming studio. Not all self made videos are kind let alone true. Take your products home and set up a nice vignette to do your video. Everybody’s happy, come on people it’s not that hard. Be nicer here in your comments, everybody's doing the best they can.
None of your items are Bobby approved.😁
@@keithbronson9777 Do YOU only buy "Bobby approved" items? 😁
Come on Keith, lol. Not everyone thinks Bobby is the messiah of food choices. 😋
Thank you! ❤
How long does it take for the Seed probiotic to ship to you?! I gotta go on a trip in 3 days and wondering if it will ship in time if I buy it today lol
Pls do a skincare routine video and a vitamin, supplement, protein video ❤
I used your app last night. Thanks for helping me buy the right butter!
Thank you
big fan of your content. started to follow after getting gout and on ankle and thought it might be time for diet change. you mentioned you didnt own a microwave. whats your take on that cuz 90 percent of food i eat are microwave based haha
I make my own frozen brown rice. I cook a batch then fill baggies with individual portions and freeze them flat.
I have not seen you mention the grass fed cow’s milk. The price seems like the best out there since Aldi stopped selling it.
Thank you!!
Bobby, Still fearful of high processed foods. Appreciate you Bobby
Bobby when will you do a video on heavy metals in chocolate
Hi there sorry to ask but what size is your standing mat? TIA
Hi Bobby, what would be a healthier turkey for sandwiches. I stopped eating Turkey a while back but I’m missing my turkey sandwiches.
Yesterday I was looking for salad dressing without all of the bad oils, and the ones that were available with olive were $7 & $8 for a little bottle!!! This was at an independent grocery store. And unfortunately, the near Trader Joe's is 1 hr 30 mins. away!
I checked out the link for Seed DS-01 Daily Symbiotic you gave the child, but it said it's for adults??? Where to find it for kids? Thank you.
Hey Bobby! There are only a few products I like buying @ TJ’s. Especially if their gluten free, with my allergy! 😞 I’ve had the olive oil chips, & it’s always a repeat buy! And I still don’t like that coconut smoothie drink! 😆 Tfs 🫶🏼✌🏼
Sorry to hear that. That smoothie has gotten me through a couple of upset stomachs
