With grocery prices being what they are, it’s more important than ever to make sure you’re getting the most for your money. But sticking with the same things you always buy can make mealtimes boring.
Trader Joe’s adds new seasonal items all the time, so we’ve identified the new items that are worth the money.
Crunchy Chili Onion Sprinkle Seasoning Blend
If you’ve ever wished you could have the flavor punch of Trader Joe’s Crunchy Chili Onion without the oil (and who hasn’t?), now you can. This blend of onion, garlic, bell peppers and chili pepper flakes goes on everything from scrambled eggs to French fries to popcorn at $1.99 for 2.64 ounces.
Unexpected Cheddar Cheese and Turkey Sausage Egg White Bites
You really can’t go wrong with anything that features TJ’s Unexpected Cheddar, and these egg white bites are no different. The fact that you can grab them, microwave them for 60 seconds and go is sure to make these an instant classic. They’re gluten-free and cost $3.49 for two bites.
Coffee Mochi
The latest addition to TJ’s line of mochi desserts is only here for a limited time, so don’t miss it. Coffee Mochi has real coffee in the sweet ice cream center, and a touch of cocoa in the rice flour dough exterior. Six mochi are $4.99.
Mango Sticky Rice Crisps
When mango, coconut milk and rice are combined, you get a delicious, out-of-the-ordinary dessert of mango sticky rice. Now you can get the same fantastic flavors in a convenient snack in Trader Joe’s Mango Sticky Rice Crisps, priced at $3.29 for a 4.51-ounce bag. Eat them right from the bag for a unique and flavorful snack, or add them to a dessert tray.
Aperito Spritz
Celebrate the waning days of summer with a bubbly spritz cocktail right out of the bottle. This refreshing drink includes bubbly wine paired with orange and herbal flavors that will brighten up your end-of-summer evenings. Pick up three bottles (200ml) for $6.99. Â
Organic Freezer Pops
Freezer pops have been the refreshment of choice for the out-of-school-for-the-summer set for generations. The ones of the past were mostly sweetened, colored water, but Trader Joe’s has changed all that with their Organic Freezer Pops — 10 pops (15 fl. oz.) for $3.49. These pops contain 100% juice, are certified organic and come in berry and cherry limeade flavors. Pop them in the freezer to be ready for even the hottest days.
Spicy Squiggly Knife Cut Noodles
You may know about Trader Joe’s Squiggly Knife Cut Noodles with soy and sesame sauce. If so, you won’t want to miss the new spicy version. The spicy garlic sesame sauce packs an extra punch that elevates this dish way, way beyond ramen. Add veggies and some protein for a complete meal that cooks in less than five minutes. The noodles are sold in four-packs (15.9 oz total) for $4.99.
Crunchy Jicama Slaw
Trader Joe’s Crunchy Jicama Slaw has noodles of jicama, julienned carrots, edamame, diced red pepper, cucumber and radish topped with cilantro. When you mix it with its own sesame ginger dressing and top it with chopped peanuts, there’s simply nothing better! This ready-to-toss salad will brighten up even the simplest meal. It’s priced at $4.99 for 11.5 ounces.
Some of these tasty and economical items are seasonal, so be sure to try them while you can!Â
