![]() ![]() The chips are really good – everyone loves the saltiness, crispness and flavor of them. They are sold out about half the time I take a trip to Trader Joe’s. Quinoa and Black Bean Chips – Better stock up on these. Their brie is the cheapest I have ever found. Fontina is pretty common, but many they have are not as common or as cheap. We eat these instead of Kellogg’s and the price is actually the same or cheaper most of the time.įunky Cheeses – I can always count on Trader Joe’s to have plenty of funky, weird cheeses that I find in Food Network recipes and such. Here is a list of the ingredients as well. We all love rice krispy treats and I like to make homemade granola bars, but trying to avoid preservatives is really difficult without Trader Joe’s. Rice Krispies, but not – It is really hard to avoid BHT in the cereal aisle. This puppy was like $3 and has nothing in it but I what I use to make my own lemon curd. Lemon Curd – Lemons can be expensive many days of the year and therefore, it is expensive to make your own lemon curd. I love that they’re incredibly high vitamin A and C. I love them thawed and with a dash of cinnamon. Ingredients seem to be about the same though since General Mills doesn’t add much to them.įrozen Mango Chunks– I LOVE these. They are $1.99 for a 15 oz box which is pretty cheap compared to the name brand and some generics. ![]() I found one story rumor that stated they are General Mills Cheerios rejects, but I don’t find that to be the case. Joe’s O’s – These are basically Cheerios. For $1.99 I can have 6 muffins that are made from all whole wheat flour with no artificial anything. I just don’t have time to be domestic goddess 100% of the time and make my own English muffins like so many blogs do now. It has a great flavor and something easy if you don’t have time to make your own from scratch.Įnglish Muffins– I’m sorry. It’s pretty spicy, but the only enchilada sauce they carry which of course does not contain high fructose corn syrup or anything artificial. But, it is still really delicious and both of these taste great with chicken as well for a main course.Įnchilada Sauce – Again, I think this is a medium-hot product. The pineapple salsa is just plain awesome. ![]() Salsas – Normally, I like fresh salsa… unless it is Trader Joe’s. I love it in tiramisu, this berry tiramisu or these mascarpone blondies. But, it is a specialty item there and a staple at Trader Joe’s. Mascarpone – You can actually find this at Aldi sometimes as well. Pretty much the only alternative to Cool Whip that I have found unless you make your own. There are no artificial flavors or colors, no high fructose corn syrup and no hydrogenated oils. The only difference is that Trader Joe’s sells it for $1.99 per tub and Dierbergs sells is for $3.29 per tub when on sale. They have the same ingredients and the same nutritional facts. House Whip – After looking at TruWhip at Dierbergs, I informally conclude they are the SAME product. You find it in the refrigeration section instead of the normal room temperature dressing section. Slightly thick and dresses up anything from salads to deli meat wraps. Here are a few more to what list I had created a while back.Ĭilantro Dressing – THE dressing for cilantro lovers. Most of the food is canned or freezable since we do not live close to one. There isn’t one around here, so here are my picks for what to buy or try. I get a lot of questions asking what I get at Trader Joe’s. Now, I started “Raising Happiness” by Christine Carter which is actually just a book that relates everything I learned in Positive Psychology and applies it to families. Here is a photo of me and my daughter right before “Oklahoma!” She got a little wet playing in the sink while I did my hair and make-up.īook Update: I finished “Why Calories Count” and found it a great companion to “The End of Overeating” in that it goes more into studies about what is going on in the body. ![]()
