Shopping at Trader Joe’s is sort of like going on a culinary adventure. That’s because Trader Joe’s is constantly bringing new products to its lineup to keep customers happy and well-fed. And if you’re not so familiar with Trader Joe’s, you should know that the store’s low prices can be a great source of savings on groceries. Here are a few new items you may want to try out this month.
1. Strawberry Lemonade Ice Bars
There’s perhaps not a more perfect summertime treat than ice pops. And Trader Joe’s has taken that concept to a whole new level with its Strawberry Lemonade Ice Bars. They’re sweet, tangy, and downright refreshing. Grab one for dessert or a tasty afternoon snack on your deck. You can score a six-pack for $3.29. But let’s be real — you’ll probably want multiple six-packs to stuff in your freezer.
2. Pulled Jackfruit in Smoky BBQ Sauce
Vegans everywhere, rejoice! Gone are the days of your meat-eating peers gobbling down their delicious pulled pork sandwiches while you’re left with a pile of leaves on a bun. Trader Joe’s is selling these 10-ounce packages of pulled jackfruit, which is said to resemble the texture of pulled pork or brisket. They come with a smoky, spicy barbecue sauce that makes for a tasty meatless meal — all for $2.99.
3. Trio of Soft Licorice Twists
Trader Joe’s does snacks really well, so it’s not surprising to see a new candy mix, this time of the licorice variety. Trader Joe’s Trio of Soft Licorice Twists features raspberry, mango, and green apple flavors. Bust some out in the evening while you watch TV or sneak some in between afternoon meetings — no one will judge you. An eight-ounce pack costs just $2.49.
4. Smoked English Cheddar Cheese with Spring Onion & Chive
Trader Joe’s has really upped its cheese game through the years. If you’re a fan of cheddar, consider this blend with onions and chives for just $11.99 per pound. It’s smoky and tangy, and you can snack on it with crackers or slap it on a sandwich for a super yummy lunch. You can even grate some into an omelet to take your breakfast to the next level.
5. Chunky Garlic & Jalapeño Hot Sauce
You might be aware that there’s a lingering Sriracha sauce shortage that’s been messing with a lot of people’s dinners. Thankfully, Trader Joe’s has you covered with this Chunky Garlic & Jalapeño Hot Sauce. You can pour it on eggs, whisk it into a pasta dish, or drizzle it over a taco to give your meal a nice kick. A 10-ounce bottle will cost you just $3.99.
If your goal is to keep your meals and snacks interesting without racking up a giant credit card tab, then it pays to do your food shopping at Trader Joe’s.
