Trader Joe’s is known for its low prices and unique selection of foods you can’t always find elsewhere, making it a stellar combo for shopping on a budget.
Every season it brings in new products to tempt your tastebuds and fulfill other lifestyle needs. April is no exception — whether you’re stocking up for easy weeknight meals or just hunting for a great deal, Trader Joe’s has you covered. Here are five of the best buys this month, all for under $25.
Parmigiano Reggiano Stravecchio Cheese
Pasta lovers know the difference between that dusty generic parmesan you get in the plastic tub and the real thing grated over steaming hot pasta. Trader Joe’s parmigiano reggiano stravecchio is truly the “real deal” as Trader Joe’s states on its website, coming from the Parma and Reggio-Emilia territories of north-central Italy. Fresh always tastes best, anyway. You can get this delicious cheese for $17.99 per pound.
Beef Filet Mignon Steak
If you think a steak dinner is too expensive, you’ll think again when you see that Trader Joe’s Angus filet mignon is available for $20.99 per pound. This premium cut of beef is tender and tasty, because the cattle are pasture-raised and keep a vegetarian diet. Grill it, sear it on the stovetop or broil it for a steak that will melt in your mouth but not break the bank.
Wild Nova Style Smoked Sockeye Salmon
If you love salmon, but don’t prefer to cook it, Trader Joe’s has you covered with a deliciously smoked sockeye salmon that is so affordable you can work it into your regular meals. Whether you like a good old-fashioned lox and cream cheese on a bagel or prefer to eat it on its own with a side dish, this salmon is made from a recipe, the website claims, that combines Native Alaskan traditions along with that of Norwegian immigrants who came to the state. Smoked over native hardwoods and seasoned, your tastebuds will likely agree that $13.99 for 8 ounces is a steal.
La Burgondie Cremant De Bourgogne Rose Brut
There’s something about spring that begs for refreshing beverages, and Trader Joe’s has more than a few to offer. However, make entertaining easy or just spice up a nice meal at home with a pink, sparkling wine that you won’t soon forget. La Burgondie Cremant De Bourgogne Rose Brut leaves flavors of raspberry in its wake, carried to your palate by gentle bubbles. At $11.99 per bottle, you can indulge, celebrate or just enjoy.
Body Wash and Serum Duo
Trader Joe’s offers more than just food and drink — it has an entire section for the skin and body, with spa-quality ingredients that offer a touch of luxury, for drugstore prices. Check out its body wash and serum duo, steeped in moisturizing ingredients like argan oil and undergirded by vitamin B3, green tea extract and scented with natural Bergamot oil, you’ll feel great and smell great too. The serum adds additional hydration to skin without feeling oily. The set is just $12.99.
