You're Wasting Your Money If You Haven't Tried These 20 Amazing Trader Joe's Finds

Best Savory Trader Joe's Items

Caesar Salad Dip

This girl dinner-ready dip is essential for chips, sandwiches, wraps, flatbreads, and more.

Steamed Vegetable Soup Dumplings

I buy at least three boxes of these dumplings every time I need to stock up on groceries. They make getting a hearty, fulfilling meal in super easy, since all they require is a few minutes in the microwave.

Wild Nova Style Smoked Sockeye Salmon

This salmon + cream cheese + a bagel = absolute heaven.

Blue Cheese Stuffed Chalkidiki Olives

Olives can be very divisive, so I understand if you're not on board with this TJ's pick. For those of you who do love all things briny, these plump bites filled with blue cheese are simply addicting, no matter if you enjoy them on pizza, in a dirty martini, or straight out of the jar.

Mushroom Risotto

Risotto will always leave a fancy impression, but this frozen version makes it way easier than your traditional cooking method. The texture and flavor are still a whopping 10/10.

Organic Roasted Vegetable Pizza

Oftentimes, I'll buy a plain cheese pizza and put my own veggies on it, but after discovering this TJ's pizza, there's no need for extra work. It's colorful as can be, which makes me feel a little less guilty about eating the whole thing on my own.

Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip

This heat-and-eat dip is a must-have for house parties! It tastes just like something you'd order at a restaurant, but it's only $4.

Chicken Breakfast Sausage Patties

I love using these frozen sausage patties to make meal prep breakfast sandwiches alongside some eggs and cheese. The chicken makes each one a little bit leaner, but they still pack a good punch in terms of protein content to keep me full throughout the mornings.

Almond Chipotle Dip

This dip is essentially TJ's version of Bitchin' Sauce, which, IYKYK. So good. Each bite has a good balance of chipotle pepper powder, smoked paprika, garlic, and tamari, plus you'd never guess it's totally vegan.

Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese Quiche

There's truly not much I love more than a good frozen quiche. This one heats up perfectly in the oven in just 30 minutes to reveal a flaky crust and a tender, piping hot filling. Trader Joe's makes a few different variations of their frozen quiche, but this broccoli & cheddar one is to die for IMO.

Best Sweet Trader Joe's Items

Chocolate Brooklyn Babka

This chocolatey, bready dessert is insane. It's sweet and deliciously textured, tasty enough to enjoy any time of day. Plus, it's made by a small, kosher bakery in Brooklyn, New York, so you know you're gettin' the good stuff.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

I buy a box of these every single time I hit my local TJ's. I fear I finish off every meal with at least one or two of 'em, and always offer a small handful to my friends when they come over! Plus, I'll take dark chocolate over milk chocolate any day.

Sweetened Green Mango

I am a self-proclaimed expert at hiking snacks, and this bag of dried mango truly takes the cake. It travels well and tastes just as good as it did on the first day I bought it. I could eat the whole bag if left unsupervised!

Sea Salt Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Chocolate. Chunk. Cookies. Need I say more?! The sea salt elevates each bite perfectly.

Dark Chocolate Ganache Mini Sheet Cake

This tasty sheet cake is a great grab to bring to small gatherings like book clubs and movie nights. You might want to grab a couple if your group's got a huge sweet tooth!

Speculoos Cookie Butter

This cookie butter is dee-lish-ious. Delish. I enjoy licking it off a spoon (not sorry!) or also using it as a nice, sweet flavoring for my morning lattes. I also know there's a ton of Speculoos Cookie Butter-specific recipes out there for everything you could imaging baking up, like cookies, cakes, and ice creams.

Best Trader Joe's Beverages

Non-Dairy Gingerbread Oat Creamer

All of TJ's oat milk creamer flavors are great, but this spicy-sweet seasonal gingerbread one is truly worth the wait every year. It makes me forget entirely about going to Starbucks regularly since I can perfect my own coffees at home.

Candy Cane Green Tea

This green tea is great for tea drinkers who prefer their mug a little on the sweet side. The balance of peppermint is divine.

Vanilla Almond Spiced Chai Protein Smoothie

I'm a protein girlie through and through, and opting for something easy like this makes my life so much easier. I'll typically grab one after the gym if I don't have a lot to enjoy at home. It'd also make an excellent addition to espresso drinks or a frozen smoothie!

Maple Espresso Black Tea Blend

I'd never had a tea with espresso and maple before, but I totally get the hype of the unique flavor combo after trying this tea. It's great to sip on during workday afternoons when you need a lil' caffeine boost, but don't necessarily want an entire coffee.
