It’s difficult to leave Trader Joe’s without a shopping cart full of munchies, whether you intended to buy them or not. Think of it as the food version of Target. You could, of course, say a lot of wonderful things about, say, Trader Joe’s cheese, Trader Joe’s wine, or even Trader Joe’s appetisers and breakfasts. However, Trader Joe’s snacks are the best. Because of them, it’s quite tempting to linger in the Trader Joe’s aisles, perusing every packet and taking in all the new delicacies the supermarket has put on display for the week.
In the mood for a swim? It’s at TJ’s. Do you want anything crunchy? Not an issue. Seeking something spicy or sweet? Yes, exactly. There is a bite that is customised for you and won’t break the wallet, no matter how you like to snack.
Of course, opinions vary on what constitutes the greatest Trader Joe’s snacks, but there’s a theory behind the brilliance. You can’t resist this TJ’s snack when it combines a well-known texture with an intriguing flavour or addition, attention-grabbing packaging, and a catchy name.
We can’t decide if the novelty of constantly having new Trader Joe’s snacks to chose from or the classic Trader Joe’s snacks are what keep us coming back for more (looking at you, Joe-Joes).
Fortunately, there isn’t a decision to make. This year, TJ’s will have a variety of snacks on its shelves; some are new, others are traditional, and all are delectably priced. Here is our list of what to look for. For a list of every Trader Joe’s snack your kitchen requires, keep reading.
