A List of the Best Items at Trader Joes

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at USFSP chapter.

Have you ever been to Trader Joes? If not, then you need to check out my list of the best items there as soon as possible. 

It is a foodie heaven. They have the best snacks, entrees, desserts, vegetables etc. 

There is a TJ grocery store 10 minutes from campus at 2742 4th St N. 

The parking lot is always packed with cars, the inside of the store is usually a zoo as well, but the prices and food quality they have there is unmatched.

The first time you go to Trader Joes, you might be overwhelmed. There are so many options and everything looks good. 

To ease your anxiety, I have compiled a list of some of my favorite Trader Joes items that you should check out the next time you go. 

1. TJ Buffalo Style Chicken Dip 

Traditional buffalo dip can take some time and patience to prepare.  I don’t know about you, but when I am hungry I don’t have any type of patience to wait for my food.

This option is much more time efficient and equally delicious. Grab some tortilla chips and go to town. 

2. TJ Mac and Cheese Bites

Do you love mac and cheese? If so, these bites were made for you.

Also, did I mention they combine SEVEN different types of cheeses. They can be quite filling, so I would recommend finding a friend to help you finish them off. 

3. TJ Cauliflower Pizza Crust 

This cauliflower crust is the perfect canvas to make whatever you might find in your fridge. It also happens to be gluten free.

I love pizza, but I don’t always love the calories. This option allows me to eat my favorite food, but not feel guilty about it.   

4. TJ Organic French Roast Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate

Need a pick me up in the morning? Then this cold brew is perfect for you.

This drink is also A LOT cheaper than going the Starbucks drive-thru everyday — just saying. 

5. TJ Cookie Butter

This item is one of the most popular at Trader Joes. You can put this cookie butter on almost anything.

You want to put it on your toast? OK. You want to put it in your ice cream? OK. You want to eat it straight from the tub? OK.

Anything is possible with TJ’s cookie butter. 

You will not be disappointed, I promise. 

6. Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend

This seasoning is so bomb, you can pretty much put it on anything. Personally, I like to put it on top of my avocado toast in the morning. 

7. TJ Peanut Butter Pretzels 

This snack combines to of my favorites: peanut butter & pretzels.

Fair warning, this snack can be highly addictive. Once you start eating the bag, you probably won’t want to stop. 

8. Cold Brew Latte Bars

A combination of coffee and ice cream? I’m sold. This latte bar is delicious.

If you want something light and smooth, then you need to buy this. It is the perfect dessert for anyone.
