Hi everyone!
If you enjoy a long walk down the grocery store aisle like myself, then you’re in for a treat! I had never been to Trader Joes until one blogger, @katiesbliss on Instagram, started doing the most interesting Instagram stories about TJs. When I finally started bringing my car to campus, I ventured out to find some of her picks, and I am so glad I did. The store is honestly so overwhelming and having recommendations from others to base your grocery haul off of is handy. Here is a comprehensive review of everything I like to buy from TJs. Note- most of these fall into the snack category. A lot of other bloggers, like Katies Bliss do hauls featuring meal-specific buys!
Perfect bars- everyone I get to try one of these instantly falls in love. They are so good that I could eat them like a candy bar. I eat one before or after barre usually, and my favorite flavor is coconut peanut butter. They are usually 1.99 at TJs compared to 2.50 at Publix, and there is a pretty good selection of flavors (Fresh Market has the biggest pick of flavors ever).
Dark chocolate covered almonds with sea salt and turbinado sugar- these are to die for!! So good and so low calorie. They are in the freezer aisle with the rest of the treats.
Neapolitan JoJos- these are like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry oreos! So good. They are one of my most recent finds (recommended by a fellow TJ obsessed coworker), but I can already tell I am going to pick them up regularly.
Toscano black pepper cheese- this is in the fancy cheese section, and it is so good! All my roommates loved it so I can definitely say it’s a crowd favorite. It goes well on the pita crackers, but I wouldn’t say these are a TJs must have.
Produce- TJs has a really produce section, and everything is so cheap! I am always amazed when I leave with a bag full of fresh goodies and it’s way less than it would be at a normal grocery store.
Everything but the bagel seasoning- this is so good! I put it on avocado toast, regular toast with butter and I have seen some recipes for it with chicken on Pinterest! One bottle of it lasts forever.
That’s it for today! I may possibly do one in a few months when I am cooking more meals rather than whipping up snacks like I do now!
