Organic Guava Fruit Spread

Like your typical strawberry or grape jam, this $3 limited-time fruit spread boasts more of a unique spin, thanks to guava! It's tart, tangy, and totally perfect for putting on toasts, bagels, or any baked goodies you whip up this season.

Raspberry, Vanilla & Blueberry Macarons

Decked out in the ultimate Fourth of July color palette, this limited-time medley of macarons was made for summertime snacking. The $6 box comes with three flavors – Blueberry, raspberry, and vanilla – so you get a nice variety each time you reach for 'em. These cuties come frozen and all you have to do is let them thaw at room temperature for an hour or so before you dig in.

Root Beer Float Pieces

Root Beer Float Pieces

These root beer-inspired candies are the talk of TJ's at the moment. They're unlike anything we've ever snacked on before, really – the $4 bag features bits of vanilla sandwich cookie filled with vanilla creme that are then coated in a candy layer meant to emulate carbonation. Woah!

Sparkling Tea & Lemonade

Trader Joe's

Sparkling Tea & Lemonade

Coming off the ahh-mazing release of their $2 Sparkling Matcha Lemonade, Trader Joe's is amping up their summer drink selection even more with this canned tea and lemonade bev. Pretty reminiscent of an Arnold Palmer, this $2 sparkling sipper comes not-too-sweet and filled with beautiful bubbles!

Pretzel Buns

Trader Joe's

Pretzel Buns

One of our favorite parts about summer is grilling up some burgers outside, so these new $3 TJ's Pretzel Buns are obviously high up on our grocery list. With the taste and texture of a beloved soft pretzel but the practicality of a traditional burger bun, these limited-time buns are sure to become a classic in your mealtime rotation this season – as long as they last!

Sweet & Spicy Rice Cracker Mix

Trader Joe's

Sweet & Spicy Rice Cracker Mix

Made in Thailand for Trader Joe's, this $2.49 crunchy rice cracker mix is equal parts sweet and spicy. Some of the pieces are coated in sugar, while the others boast a blend of paprika and chile powder – this makes each bite unique and easily customizable since you can play with the sweet:spicy ratios! It'd made an ideal movie snack or something to chow down on after a long night out!

Strawberry Baton Wafer Cookies

Trader Joe's

Strawberry Baton Wafer Cookies

Oh, yes. Just like the chocolate-laced baton wafer cookies from our childhood we know and thoroughly love, this $2 limited-time dessert is actually filled with flavors of strawberry – perfect for summer! Each tube is filled with luscious strawberry crème while the crunchy exterior features a rosy hue made possible with vegetable juice. We'll take 5, thanks!

Teeny Tiny Strawberry Rhubarb Pies

Trader Joe's

Teeny Tiny Strawberry Rhubarb Pies

Speaking of strawberry... These tiny $5 single-serve pies are filled with strawberry and rhubarb (a classic combo!) for easy mid-day or midnight snacking sessions. Measuring around three inches in diameter, they're easy to hold in one hand while you sip down a refreshing drink in the other. Summer plans = complete. Grab a few boxes while they last, since this item is marked as limited-time!

Milton Creamery Morning Harvest Cheese

Trader Joe's

Milton Creamery Morning Harvest Cheese

Crafted on a small farm in southern Iowa, this creamy $5 cheese comes with notes of cheddar for all your summertime charcuterie or sandwich needs. Trader Joe's says its flavor has a "subtle sweetness" with notes of buttered popcorn. Yum!
