It’s not Cauliflower Gnocchi. It’s not Unexpected Cheddar. It’s not even Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend.

TJ’s floral section has everything from fresh herbs (including basil and rosemary for around $3 a pot) to vibrant bouquets—though we’d take a page from McGee’s decorating playbook and opt for some goes-with-everything greenery like eucalyptus or baby’s breath. Elevate your sprigs with a chic vase and no one will be able to tell your colorful blooms only cost the price of a cappuccino.
