Grocery store chain Trader Joe’s has a large fan base, and for good reason. The store offers friendly service, great prices and a wide selection of unique seasonal items that keep customers coming back for more.Â
According to research from CNET, Trader Joe’s is 21.5% cheaper than another popular grocery store chain, Stop & Shop. So it’s a good place to shop for people who are feeling the weight of increased grocery prices and want to save money.
Trader Joe’s especially shines during the winter season, with highly unique holiday items on the shelves. Here are six to try, totaling just under $25 before tax.
Also see three Trader Joe’s favorites shoppers swear by — all under $6.
Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar
- Price: $1.49
Every year, Trader Joe’s sells very affordable milk chocolate Advent calendars. It’s an easy way to celebrate the holiday season without breaking the budget. It comes in slim paper boxes and is small enough to sit on the kitchen counter without taking up too much space.
Salted Maple Cold Foam Creamer
- Price: $4.49
Cold brew enthusiasts will love this salted maple cold foam creamer. It’s similar to a whipped cream can, and it’s delicious. Customers who want to try it should head to Trader Joe’s now, as this is a limited-time seasonal item.
Holiday Cheer Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread
- Price: $4.99
This lovely holiday cheese spread is $4.99 and perfect for families who want to serve appetizers or set up a charcuterie board. This cheese spread has cranberry bits and cinnamon, making it an ideal pairing with other winter or holiday flavors.
Cinnamon Roll Flavored Lip Mask
- Price: $5.99
Trader Joe’s has a surprisingly robust beauty section, and one newer product is a cinnamon roll-flavored lip mask. This would make a great stocking stuffer or a great addition to a gift basket. If cinnamon roll isn’t a favorite flavor, make sure to check out the many other beauty products on the shelves.
Hark and Holly Glühwein Mulled Wine
- Price: $6.99
According to Trader Joe’s, mulled wine is a winter tradition that dates back centuries. This is wine spiced with cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, nutmeg and other spices. Customers can serve it warm to help ward off the winter chill. Trader Joe’s offers this mulled wine only during the holiday season, so it’s available only for a limited time.
All of these items total right under $25, which means families can sample several different types of winter treats at Trader Joe’s without going overboard with the budget.
