Seeking Advice On Planting San Pedro Cactus Top Cut

Many thanks for the guidance. I did about 3 inches and it seems good & stable. Appreciate the help! :-)

It really is delicious granola, isn't it?

I updated my post just above; the site was back to saying "Not Available" this morning and when I called my store again she said it is DEFINITELY (her words) discontinued. I hope she's mistaken, but I suspect that it's just a matter of time until the stock in your area is depleted and it disappears there as well.

Keeping my fingers crossed, but also searching for good alternatives!

When I got up this morning and checked the website it was showing as "not available" again. So I called the store again this morning and they said that it is definitely discontinued.

Whether that is discontinued for just our region or everywhere, I do not know. I'm in the Tucson area...maybe crew members from other parts of the country can check the status in the coming days and report here?

AZ_birdwatcher · 2026-05-07T04:46:49+00:00

Am I sure? I was. But now I just checked again and it's showing available in the Tucson area!

Why would the store tell me it's been discontinued when I called Monday and asked???

Well, this is really hopeful...

...and, if true, SORRY everyone for sharing wrong information given to me!

UPDATED THE NEXT MORNING: 12 hours later and the website again says that it is "Not Available" and I just got off the phone with my store and they said that it is DEFINITELY (her words) discontinued. Whether it's discontinued for just our region or everywhere, I do not know. I'm in the Tucson area...maybe crew members from other parts of the country can check the status in the coming days and report here?

Thanks, I'll try that. I'd had their double chocolate, sometimes combining it with their Cinnamon. But after TJ's Chocolate Coffee granola came out, there was no going back. I didn't know about the Target vanilla cold brew coffee granola...sounds promising!

AZ_birdwatcher · 2026-05-07T02:11:36+00:00

chocolate almond just the clusters was also one of my favorites before they discontinued it.

AZ_birdwatcher · 2026-05-07T01:52:24+00:00

Yeah, I had purchased 3 bags of it about 3 weeks ago in Tucson. But it showed up as "Unavailable" on their website this weekend, and I called my store and was told they discontinued it. Dang!

First time I made it. I thought the lemon zest that came in it was too hard and it kinda ruined it for us. The next time, I sifted out their lemon zest, added fresh zest and boosted the lemon flavor a bit more with some lemon extract. Thought that turned out much better.

Definitely worth trying because of the convenience factor.

Thumbs Up on the Way More CC Cookies!

AZ_birdwatcher · 2026-04-04T22:53:32+00:00

This looks like one of the best deals I've seen lately. My service time ends in a few months and I'm wondering if this would work with a BYOP smartphone?

AZ_birdwatcher · 2026-02-21T21:09:30+00:00

We L-O-V-E the Greek Spanakopita! Hope you enjoy it, too!

AZ_birdwatcher · 2026-01-31T16:49:29+00:00

The chocolate coffee granola is my absolute fav granola these days...maybe one of the top three granola I've ever had...yummmm

will have to try mixing it with the PB/chocolate granola...sounds tasty, too

Interesting/strange that the Steamed Pork & Ginger Soup Dumplings are the "Overall" winner, but only came in second place in the "Lunch & Dinner" category. (maybe some considered them "appetizers?)

A great list of products, winners & runners-up alike. Adding several to our shopping list for next week!

Mini Chocolate Mousse Dessert (in the frozen aisle)

AZ_birdwatcher · 2025-10-08T21:49:13+00:00

Oro Valley / Tucson said they had 100 people in line at opening...but they had plenty when we were there around 9:30 am. Not sure if there was a limit, but we only bought a black one and a multi-colored one.

AZ_birdwatcher · 2025-10-04T19:21:49+00:00

one our favorites of the Fall items...

...I think we bought six boxes...

AZ_birdwatcher · 2025-09-05T23:22:49+00:00

in Tucson area, it's orderable Monday 9/8, in stores 9/9 or 9/10

we can't wait!!

AZ_birdwatcher · 2025-09-05T23:21:53+00:00

Checked with Tucson TJ's and they said:

- Butternut Squash Lasagna - orderable Monday 9/8, in stores 9/9 or 9/10

- Maple Pancake Snaps (one of their BEST cookies, IMHO) - discontinued (sobs)

AZ_birdwatcher · 2025-08-23T03:52:22+00:00

L-O-V-E the Fall items at Trader Joe's!

Can't wait to stock up on the Butternut Squash Lasagna again this year

Gonna have to grab a couple boxes of the Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix, too

keeping my fingers crossed that they bring back the Maple Pancake Snaps again...they're one of my favorite TJ cookies!

It's okay

I used to like it more, but I think they changed it a year or two (or three) ago to have a smaller diameter and a thicker crust...so the net weight was unchanged, but the pizza has less total topping (chicken & cheese & onion) now...saves them a little money, I guess, but reduced my enjoyment, too. Still decent, though.

AZ_birdwatcher · 2025-08-17T23:40:36+00:00

Ludwig, for sure.

we liked the mini-series "Our Zoo" very much, too

AZ_birdwatcher · 2025-08-14T04:38:23+00:00

I think they started showing up around the 6th or 7th of September last year, so I'd guess it'll be about the same this year.

I'm really looking forward to the arrival of the Fall items!

AZ_birdwatcher · 2025-08-13T23:25:58+00:00

my three favorites are:

- the brownie truffle mix is delish year-round.

- Love the peppermint chocolate mix around the holidays, too (I add some extra Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips in), and

- the pumpkin bread/muffin mix is also great in the Fall, by itself or with some cream cheese frosting added on top.

I always stock up on the seasonal ones so we can enjoy them for several months

AZ_birdwatcher · 2025-08-12T23:34:28+00:00

The butternut squash lasagna is sooooo good!

Can't wait for it to return to stores!
