  1. I wonder if TJ’s will still have any of these by this weekend. It seems every time I see something I’d like to try from TJ’s on The Impulsive Buy, all of the stores in Phoenix tell me, “Oh, no, we ran out of that immediately and it’s done for the season. Try again next year.” It’s enough for me to not even bother going to TJ’s anymore.

    1. My thoughts exactly!! I really wanted some of those advent calendars for my kiddos. I went in just a day after I received the fearless flyer, and…..none left! They said they sold out over the weekend. Whaaaat????

      1. Did you get to try the Thanksgiving chips or chocolate pecan pudding pie? Sadly, I did not. 🙁

  2. I thought the shrimp and grits bites was a cookbook at first.

    That granola is calling my name.

  3. I got to try the Christmas Wassail – delicious!! I liked it so much I went back to buy some more for our party at work and already sold out and was told they are not getting any more in and it’s two weeks before Christmas!

    1. This kind of stuff really irritates me. TJ’s is pretending like Thanksgiving ended in October and Christmas ended in November. Better stock up on your Valentine’s Day stuff now because come January you’ll be SOL.
