I never go there but I have a gift card and I need to go there to replace some garlic naan that I stole from my dad
edit: I have completed my trip to Trader Joes and got:
Garlic Naan x2
Roasted Vegetable Pizza
Chocolate Pretzels
Roasted Cashews (50% less salt)
Mango Smoothie
Aloe Vera Juice
Chili & Lime Chips
Moroccan Mint Green Tea
Soft & Juicy Mango
PS the cashier was very pretty 
I always buy:
Moroccan mint tea - my daily drinker.
Lasagna - the best frozen one out there. It's cheaper than the others and tastes almost as good as homemade.
Margherita pizza - Also the best frozen pizza I've had. The 3 cheese is solid as well.
Chocolate babka - a really good pastry
Multigrain bread - bread
Peony candles - their candles are seasonal and you can only find these around spring, but they're the best floral scent I've had in a candle at the cheapest price- $4 here. I don't care for the summer candles.
Murasaki purple sweet potatoes - These aren't the proper Japanese variety, but they're the closest you can get cheaply in North America. They're much richer than other sweet potatoes, with a chestnutty taste. I pretty much only use these.
Sipping chocolate - Generally I make Mexican hot chocolate, but this is so much better than other American hot chocolates. It's thicker and has a way better taste.
Orange and teriyaki chicken, as well as the frozen Indian meals. All of the Asian options are nice, the taquitos are great, and the pesto pasta is a staple.
The floral section is pretty good and I normally grab a cheap bouquet and some eucalyptus for my shower. Sometimes they have nice houseplants.
got the Moroccan tea because you suggested it and it does sound good. as a fan of both green tea and mint tea I figure I'll love it
also got a pizza but its the roasted vegetable kind instead since I've had that one before and like it
