Trader Joe’s is known for its quirky, affordable store-brand products — but with so many options, it can be hard to know what’s worth buying. Fortunately, the chain’s loyal fan base is happy to share their top picks.
In a recent Reddit thread, shoppers were asked to name their “holy grail” Trader Joe’s item — and these three came up again and again. And, best of all, they’re all under $6.
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups: $5.99
Those who love a sweet treat are fans of the brand’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups, which are made from real peanut butter and high-quality cacao beans, and are free of artificial flavors and preservatives.
“Everyone not saying this is wrong,” wrote one fan.
Garlic Spread Dip: $3.69
This Middle Eastern-inspired dip can be enjoyed as an accompaniment for French fries, a spread on a burger or sandwich, an addition to your salad dressing and more.
“The best addictive item at TJs by far!” commented one frequent shopper.
“I use it with literally everything,” added another. “I can eat the whole tub in one sitting.”
Crunchy Chili Onion Sprinkle Seasoning Blend: $1.99
Made from the same ingredients as Trader Joe’s popular Crunchy Chili Onion condiment, this seasoning blend makes it easy to give an extra kick to almost any dish, from burgers to veggies to popcorn.
“I put that on everything!” shared another Trader Joe’s fan. “Eggs, salads, chicken, shrimp — you name it.”
