Over the years, Trader Joe’s has built its reputation on great quality and low prices.
It’s also one of the best stores for retirees who want to stretch their grocery budgets without spending their entire Social Security paychecks this spring. Adding up to $29.94, here are several picks worth adding to your shopping list this season.
Potted Multi-Bloom Hydrangea
- Price: $10.99
Nothing quite says “spring” like some potted hydrangeas. If you want to spruce up your home or front doorstep, Trader Joe’s sells potted multi-bloom hydrangeas in shades of pink, purple and blue. And because they come in multiple blooms, you’ll get to enjoy more than a single blooming cycle.
Stand-Up Collapsible Grocery Tote
- Price: $3.99
If you’re more active in spring, you likely have stuff you need to bring with you. Trader Joe’s carries several popular bags and totes, including this stand-up collapsible grocery tote. The bags stand upright on their own to prevent spills and they fully collapse for storage.
Sugar Cookie Dough Flowers
- Price: $3.99
Looking for a sweet treat for spring? Trader Joe’s sells packages of a dozen flower sugar cookie dough for a limited time this season that you can bake at home. Not only are they easy to bake, but you get to enjoy the taste and smell of home-baked cookies. You can find them on shelves through May.
Peony Scented Bath Fizzer
- Price: $4.99
These peony-scented bath fizzers make a great spring gift — or keep it for yourself. The bath fizzers are pink and in the shape of a peony blossom. They also have mica powder for a subtle shimmer, as well as kaolin clay and cocoa butter to help moisturize your skin. These are only available for a limited time, so grab some while you can.
All Purpose Disinfectant Cleaner
- Price: $3.99
When you’re doing your annual spring cleaning, you don’t have to use harsh chemicals like chlorine bleach to kill germs. Trader Joe’s fresh citrus all-purpose disinfectant cleaner kills 99.9% of common household bacteria and viruses and leaves behind a sweet citrus scent.
Organic Sparkling Rosé Tea Beverage
- Price: $1.99
Enjoy a cold can of non-alcoholic organic sparkling rosé tea beverage on its own this spring or serve it as a mocktail at brunch. These single cans from Trader Joe’s contain a blend of four teas, including white, black, sencha and pu-erh, mixed with white grape juice from concentrate with no added sugar.
