My All-Time Favorite Trader Joe’s Products

January 29, 2018

I admit it-  I am a huge Trader Joe’s fan. If you know me well, then you know that I shop there every Monday. The obsession is real. I love almost all their products and find just about everything I need for my weekly groceries.

The store is great for stocking up on basics like cereal and bread, but you can also find so many treasures there!

*****

Here are some of my latest Trader Joe’s favorites:

Flowers. I buy a bouquet just about every week!

This Southwestern Chopped Salad is sooo delicious and makes an excellent lunch for two!

If I need a quick side for dinner, I will pick up this spinach salad mix that’s a combination of sweet and tangy.

Speaking of salads, my family enjoys both the white meat chicken salad for sandwiches and the ready-made salads for lunch on the go.

I make soup weekly, and often grab Mirepoix to cut down on prep time.

Diced onions make it into my cart every week. I know it’s cheaper to chop them myself, but my eyes tear so badly AND these save so much time!

Nuts! TJ’s sells the best variety. I love both these types of pecans for salads and cheese boards. I buy pistachios and other nuts there as well.

The fresh salsa is something I often buy to use in various recipes, or just to have on hand with tortilla chips for a little snack.

This hummus snack pack is perfect to throw in my daughter’s bag as she heads to class.

Cheese! Oh my! I love so many of the cheeses Trader Joe’s sells. Whenever I make a cheese board, this is where I shop. Here are a few favorites (plus one for Italian dishes):

TJ's double gloucester cheeseTJ's unexpected cheddar

TJ's DublinerTJ's triple creme brie

TJ's parmesan cheese

Bacon for the win! This bacon is the best!

TJ's apple smoked bacon

We enjoy TJ’s chicken sausage packs for breakfast or with a sheet pan dinner.

These gluten-free PB&J bars are so yummy!

Trader Joe’s is where I buy my gluten-free rolled oats. I use them for hot oatmeal and baking. They’re very hearty.

These are the best chocolate chips! I prefer them over most any other brand. I always have a few bags on hand.

Because I make soup weekly, I buy my chicken and vegetable stock here. The stocks are so full of flavor.

These marinated olives are delicious!

I love TJ’s mustards!

Have you tried San Marzano tomatoes? I use these in any recipe calling for tomatoes. They taste so good!

I stock up on olive oil and love this one.

This frozen gluten-free pizza is great to have stashed in the freezer. It tastes yummy!

Oh my goodness, Trader Joes sells some great chocolate products. Here are two my family loves:

TJ's non-pareilsTJ's s'mores

These colorful macarons are a fun dessert to bring when invited to dinner (or to keep in your freezer for emergencies)

I love these berry packs for morning smoothies.

When I make turkey burgers, my family likes to have fries with them, and these are pretty tasty!

This frozen sweet corn is my favorite! I use it in soups often.

We enjoy snacking on both the bag popped corn and popcorn I make in my whirly pop with these kernels.

Have you tried these quinoa and black bean chips? They taste much better than they sound. I promise.

I always have several cans of this tuna in my pantry.

These 30 items are just a sampling of all the items I love to buy at Trader Joe’s. I often purchase pizza sauce, quinoa, brown rice, yogurt, juices, eggs, produce, jam, maple syrup, cocoa, tea, jarred peppers, beans, spaghetti sauce, and beauty products from here.

    You’re right, their bacon is the BEST! I’m also a sucker for their dark chocolate covered pretzels. Unfortunately, I don’t get to shop there as often as I did in SLO as it’s quite a bit further away from me. I try to go once a month and stock up.

      Kate, I love all their chocolate covered things 🙂 Before we got the store here in town, I used to drive to AG monthly and stock up on my favorite items.

    Their dark chocolate peanut butter cups are ammmaaazing 😋 Also love their frozen Chicken Chile Verde burritos, corn enchiladas, and orange chicken. I need quick foods for Holland and Jacob’s crazy schedule. I mix things up by shopping there and the Grocery Outlet. They have tons of organic and healthy quick meal options.
