New Trader Joe’s Foods & Coupons!
Hey guys! I want to share two food options from Trader Joe’s. They are delicious, inexpensive and perfect meals for busy people since you can just microwave ‘em and enjoy. I don’t usually go the microwave-route, but, hey, when you’re cramped for time and want something easy and outside the norm, you can have one of these!
Heat & Eat Foods at Trader Joe’s (Vegan-Friendly)
Sesame Soba Noodles with Asian Vegetables $2.99
Nutritional Info. for 1 bowl: 250 calories, 4g fat, 610mg sodium, 3g fiber, 9g protein
Vegan Pad Thai with Tofu $2.29
Umm I don’t have a picture of the inside because I ate it too soon lol. It looks just like the soba noodle one except with more noodles and little pieces of tofu! 
Nutritional Info. for 1 bowl: 600 calories, 7g fat, 840mg sodium, 3g fiber, 18g protein
The Pad Thai has quite a bit of calories and sodium for one meal, but I don’t see why you couldn’t eat half and just add a bag of steamed veggies to the mix. Or you could just ravenously eat the whole thing, shrug and go “eh, at least it’s got a lot of protein!” (<– that’s what I did!).
Coupons — One for Free Vegan ‘Cheese’!
I’ve accumulated some coupons and was wondering if anyone wanted them. First to reply that he/she wants one/all of ‘em, gets ‘em.
- FREE Galaxy Product (Vegan cheese, rice cheese, veggy cheese…) (I’ve got two of these)
- Save $1.00 on any Galaxy Nutritional Foods — Rice, Veggy, Rice Vegan or Vegan Product
- $1.50 off a Kashi Heart to Heart Cereal or Crackers (I’ve got 3 of these)
- And for all my pals who eat out, here’s a coupon for $1.00 off a grilled chicken salad at Jack in the Box and $2.75 off a chicken breast meal at El Pollo Loco — two healthier options from fast-food joints. (Hey, sometimes economy trumps health-zealousness, right Maslow?)
Do you guys ever eat microwaveable meals? If so, which are your favorites? Are you guys coupon hounds?

p.s. Did you guys hear the new Hungry Girl book coming out March 30 is now available for pre-order? The first 2000 people who buy two copies and complete and submit receipts and an entry form could win a CASE of Popchips. It would be dangerous for me to have a case of Popchips since a) I could eat a case of Popchips. in.one.sitting. Annnd most of the varieties aren’t vegan. Anywho — you can pre-order the book for $10.79 from amazon here

the Sesame Soba dish looks extra good! And I love that price. Perfect for lunch at work. Time to hit up Trader Joe’s!!
I would LOVE the coupons if no one has asked for them yet!!
I would love a Free Galaxy Product coupon!
I’d love coupons
p.s. that Trader Joe’s tofu made me THIRSTY…sodium blah
Mmm those soba noodles looked good. I actually want to go try that out – I’ve wanted to try pad thai but I don’t like eggs or fish sauce, so I bet vegan pad thai is up my alley!
The only micro meal type things I eat lately are amy’s indian meals (in fact, that’s what for lunch) and occasionally a random can of soup if I’m desprate/freezing.
Usually, I’m just so disappointed in nukular meals (as Zliten and I call them) I’d rather spend the time to make something fresh. Often, we’ll take something like that and throw in a bunch of veggies, but I’m a big fan lately of cooking from scratch.
Mmmm, I love the Sesame Soba noodles. It has been AGES since I’ve had them. Think I know what I’ll be looking for on my next visit to TJ’s – great to have on hand for busy days, work days, etc. Haven’t seen the Pad Tai before, I’ll look for them too. Thanks.

Nice site. If the coupons are still available, I’d love to have them. Much appreciate.
