So after following this thread and never being able to find any, I snagged a box a few weeks ago when they started putting out the Christmas cookies with the full intent of not busting them out until after Thanksgiving. 
They were a big hit in the office, and not disgustingly sweet, either (real Oreos tend to make my teeth hurt). Had one coworker who thought they were gross, but he doesn't like mint flavor.

Which TJ's did you try? I'm fairly close to the Arroyo store and within a short drive of the La Canada and Eagle Rock stores--I can reconnoiter and let you know.

No need to drive to the stores, just call and ask. Any store within a specific region can look up the status of an item. Just beware that Norcal and SoCal stores sometimes have differing supplies of things.

I had never been to that one until this weekend--nice store, much more spacious and with better parking than the Arroyo location. But alas (and as I'm sure you know already), didn't see the cocoa almonds. We did get non-chocolate-covered JoJos, though.

That Arroyo store is so cramped-and the parking lot is a hazzard zone!Same for the Mission store.
Glad you liked the Del Mar store.Friendly staff there also.

I'm sure they are sick of hearing from me. We actually have some neat grocery stores here, I wouldn't trade Central Market for anything...but I'd love to have a TJ's close by too. They carry stuff that I can't always find anywhere else, like these Joe Joe things.
The funny thing is, I found someone on eBay who is selling them...so I bought a couple of boxes there.
I think if I were near a TJ's, I'd start a side biz selling their stuff on eBay too.
I want a couple of their reuseable shopping bags.
