Favorite Snack: Rolled Chili Lime Chips

I am pretty sure TikTok had something to do with the popularity of these chips because all 3 of my teens are obsessed with these!!

Runner up: Elote Corn Dippers. I tend to agree with this choice more–I LOVE the Elote Corn Dippers! They are such a good alternative to tortilla chips.

Favorite Cheese: Goat Cheese

I am not a goat cheese fan, so I can’t verify this one, but I trust you TJ’s shoppers!! I also have noticed there is quite a good selection of goat cheese–from “plain” to crumbled to goat cheese with blueberry and vanilla!

Runner up: Unexpected cheddar. This is our family’s fave for sure! It’s on every cheese tray I’ve ever made!

Favorite Produce: Bananas

This one cracks me up–I think the fact they are 19 cents make them a hands-down winner!

Runners Up: Teeny tiny avocados, Honey Crisp apples, Persian cucumbers. All yummy, but I prefer the gala apples to the honey crisp! They are never ever “mushy” and always so sweet. They are on my grocery list every single week.

Favorite Beverage: Apple Cider

This survey was done in the fall, so apple cider makes sense! It’s perfect hot sprinkled with cinnamon.

Runners Up: Ginger Brew, Orange Juice, Oat Creamer.

Favorite Breakfast/Brunch Item: Hash Browns

Also on my TJ’s grocery list every single week! They are great in the air fryer and these are one item EVERYONE in my house can agree on! Once, they ran out at my local store and it was just a bad week — LOL! Pro tip: Try them as a base for avocado “toast!”

Runners Up: Chocolate Croissants, Almond Croissants, Chicken Sausage Patties. ALL of these are BOMB! The chicken patties are always out of stock at my local store so when they’re in, I stock up! The croissants are perfect warmed in the air fryer!

Favorite Lunch/Dinner Item: Butter Chicken

This is the single-serve, microwaveable butter chicken with basmati rice that you can find in the fridge case. So GOOD! One problem though–I could eat WAY more than they give you in the package! 🙂

Runners Up: Chicken Tikki Masala and Soup Dumplings (all flavors). The soup dumplings are heavenly drizzled with the Chili Onion Crunch! (how did the Chili Onion Crunch not make this list?!)

Favorite Appetizer: Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Once you have made the viral spinach and artichoke dip pasta, this stuff will be on your list every week! It’s soooooo darn good and super easy to make.

Runners Up: Mac and Cheese Bites, Parmesan Pasty Puffs, Greek Spanakopita, Veggie Bird Nests. The Vegetable Birds Nests are a new-found fave of mine. I heat them up in the air fryer, then mix the sauce that comes with them with a few teaspoons of Chili Onion Crunch for dipping. Absolutely addicting.

Favorite Sweet Treats: Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches

Sublime is a good way to describe these! My only complaint–they are so big! Can they make mini ones so I don’t feel so bad about myself??! 🙂

Runners Up: Hold the Cone and Dutch Kringle. I tried the Dutch Kringle for the first time last Christmas. Life changing. I started with a tiny “taste” and about 15 minutes later I had about 20 “tastes” and half the thing was gone! So yummy!!! The only problem is it’s a seasonal item (which actually, is a good thing!!!).

Favorite Bath, Body & Home Items: Brazil Nut Body Butter

Another TikTok sensation and I will say, it’s worth the hype! The body butter smells DIVINE and it’s the perfect consistency!! I’ve heard they have a trio–with the body butter, body spray, and body oil but so far, I have yet to snag one at my store!

Runners Up: Daily Facial Sunscreen, Lavender Sanitizer Spray. I haven’t tried the daily facial sunscreen but I ALWAYS have a bottle of the lavender sanitizer spray in my car…for sanitizing AND to reduce the stink after soccer practice 🙂
