Since I can’t resist a frugal find, I rounded up six of the TJ’s finds I constantly go back to when I want to treat myself. They’re all worth stocking up on if you have a similar grocery philosophy!
Scroll on to discover 6 fancy Trader Joe’s products you absolutely need to try – all with “frugal” price tags.
Trader Joe's
Double Cream Brie
For just $8.49, this block of brie offers up the same mellow flavor and creamy texture as a piece double the price would. It's really great to grab for summertime sandwiches, but I personally love to bake it to bubbly perfection. Enjoy it alongside some charcuterie, and you'll feel fancy AF!
Trader Joe's
Brut Rosé French Sparkling Wine
A French sparkling wine for just $7 a bottle?! You better believe it. This sweet and crisp rosé is ideal for weekend patio hangs or fancy picnics with your friends.
Trader Joe's
4 Chocolate Croissants
This second French find brings you all the flaky goodness for just $6. With zero preparation other than setting them out to proof overnight and baking for about half an hour, they're the easiest and cheapest pastry you can buy that still tastes super fresh. Forget the expensive cafe runs – this box is where it's at.
Trader Joe's
Dark Chocolate Dipped French Butter Cookies
These dark chocolate-covered cookies are exceptionally buttery, which really gives them that elegant vibe you're looking for in a dessert. One box goes for only $3, and I must say they work wonderfully alongside some coffee!
Trader Joe's
Wild Sockeye Smoked Salmon
This tender smoked salmon goes for $8 a pack, and it's insane how good it is. I like it a lot because though it's smoked, it doesn't retain a whole lot of smoky flavor. It's perfect for putting on toasts and bagels or even just snacking on by itself (I'm guilty).
Trader Joe's
Mushroom & Black Truffle Flatbread
Truffle is always going to feel fancy to me, hence why I included this $5.49 flatbread that pairs the expensive-tasting umami element with more common mushrooms. It's crazy easy to make since all you have to do is pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes.
