Nothing hurts my bank account more than my weekly grocery runs, which is why I’m actively working to shop smarter, not harder. Thankfully, Trader Joe’s is always extremely generous with their low prices and has some fantastic offers that you can stock up on for a grand total of $50 or less. It seems too good to be true, but for that reasonable price, you can buy a whole week’s worth of food that’ll keep you satisfied until your next grocery run.
Here’s what I buy from Trader Joe's on a $50 weekly budget to make easy, yet satiating meals.
Trader Joe's
Jasmine Rice
You can stock up on Trader Joe's Jasmine Rice for just $3.99. It pairs nicely with everything from chicken and veggies to beef and fish. It’s the best way to fill you up for under $4 all while providing the necessary nutrients to maintain a healthy diet. Don’t let the cheap pricing fool you – it still delivers restaurant-level flavor.

Organic Caesar Salad Kit
Get those greens in, people! This delicious Caesar salad kit is the perfect way to do so. It’s absolutely delicious and makes an ideal appetizer before any main course.

Pizza Parlanno
A delectable dinner for only $5.49? Don’t mind if I do! I'm obsessed with the comforting, cheesy flavor of this heat-and-eat pizza.

All Natural Bone-In Skin-On Chicken Thighs
I make these bone-in chicken thighs once a week, typically soaking them in chicken broth, lemon juice, olive oil, and rosemary. It’s my most delectable Greek chicken recipe, and the fact that Trader Joe’s has an all-natural, minimally-processed option for only $1.99 a pound is the ultimate steal.

Japchae Korean Glass Noodles & Vegetable Stir Fry
While I try to stick to a predominantly paleo and keto-friendly diet, sometimes I just need something comforting and carby. That’s where these delicious noodles come in, mixed with fresh veggies. They're healthy, filling, and downright delicious.

BBQ Cut Fresh Atlantic Salmon Fillets
Excuse me, but how is this delicious salmon only $12 a pound? I’ve been on a health kick lately, so I’m trying to incorporate as many omega-3, magnesium-rich foods as possible into my diet. I’m used to salmon costing an arm and a leg at most grocery stores, but Trader Joe’s pricing is a total steal.
Trader Joe's
Peanut Butter Protein Granola
While I try not to eat too many processed snacks, I have to be realistic about my day-to-day schedule. I don’t always have the time to whip up a quality meal. Some days I’m on the run and barely have time to think, let alone prepare a fully-cooked breakfast. That’s why I always keep this protein granola around (which is as delicious and filling as it looks).
Trader Joe's
Pastry Bites Feta Cheese & Caramelized Onions
I offered up these pastry bites at my last Friendsgiving, and they were by far the fan favorite dish that night. What can I say? TJ’s just knows what they’re doing with their brilliant apps.
