Trader Joe's is my favorite grocery store to shop at. I could spend hours there and still discover something new. It has incredible customer service, free samples, the best deals for the best products. But, most importantly Trader Joe's has these 35 items that will change your life and force you to only shop there. I've made 5 categories of Trader Joe's finest products: health foods, party-hosting foods, frozen foods, desserts, and random items.
