Chefanie’s Finds: Must Have Trader Joe's Products

When I first moved to New York in 2017, I lived just two blocks from a Trader Joe’s. When I first moved in, however, I didn’t frequent TJ’s because I felt overwhelmed by all of the options and never knew what was worth trying versus skipping over. I began to take notes from all of the Trader Joe’s aficionados around me and as I began to shop there on a weekly (and sometimes tri-weekly) basis, I began to create my own list of must-have items. The below list contains my absolute favorite items. Of course, one of the best parts of Trader Joe’s is how often they launch new and seasonal products! This post will be continually updated with new items!
