By Erica Loop,

Whether you need to stock up on staples or plan for a party, you can save money at Trader Joe’s . TJ’s has the hottest new products of the summertime.
Although Summer is soon ending, there are still a few backyard barbecues and beach or hiking days left in the season. So take advantage of these unique deals at Trader Joe’s.
From fresh slaw salads to sweet fruit-filled spreads, these foodie finds are more than just basic bargains.
Editor’s note: Prices are subject to change and may vary by location.
Whether you serve it as a party starter or eat an entire bag for dinner, this crispy seafood pick is a winner.
Compare this 16-ounce $5.49 bag of battered, fried squid from Trader Joe’s to Target’s Phillips brand. The big red bullseye retailer’s version costs $8.99 for 10 ounces.
Pack this summer-fresh slaw on your next picnic, or add it to a backyard BBQ buffet. This mix may look like a cold noodle salad. Instead of pasta, the slaw is made from jicama root.
Carrots, radishes, red bell peppers, and cucumbers add to the fresh flavor of this new foodie favorite. And as a bonus, you’ll get a separate pack of sesame ginger dressing to stir in.
3. Organic Peanut Butter and Cocoa Crunch

Price: $3.49
Stock up on cereal this summer and try Trader Joe’s newest organic addition. This crunchy mix has the oh-so-sweet blend of peanuts and chocolate you love in candy cups, brownies, cookies, and other decadent desserts — but it’s for breakfast.
Compare the $3.49 price for a 10-ounce box of TJ’s cereal to $6.49 for 12.5 ounces of Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch at CVS.
Skip the juice bar and try this more affordable option. A spicy blend of cayenne pepper, ginger juice, lemon, and coconut water gives this pick a kick.
Start your day off with the shot, drink it after a workout, or mix it into a smoothie.
5. Organic Apple Cinnamon Fruit Sauce Crushers

Price: $2.99
If you’re already a fan of the store’s Apple Strawberry, Apple Banana, Apple Carrot, Original Apple, or Apple Mango Fruit Sauce Crushers, you’ll enjoy the latest addition to the lineup.
Organic apple puree and sweet cinnamon give this squeezable fruit sauce a ready-for-fall taste you’ll crave. Toss a few of the travel-ready pouches into your picnic basket, pool bag, or gym bag for a snack on the go.
6. Green Tea and Yuzu Spread

Price: $3.99
This limited-time spread is an instant favorite. So go ahead and stock up on this new product right now.
The zesty citrus taste of yuzu and the mellow flavor of green tea make this jelly the jam. Spread it over a toasted English Muffin, make a PB and GTY (green tea yuzu) sandwich, or blend it into a marinade for your next end-of-the-summer grilling session.
Quench your cravings for something salty, savory, and sweet with one crunchy snack. Trader Joe’s new coated peanuts are a versatile and budget-friendly buy.
Bring the eight-ounce bag to the park for a picnic, add the nuts to a homemade trail mix, or use them to top an ice cream sundae.
8. Apricot Cardamom Spread

Price: $2.99
Pack your pantry with this sweet, citrusy, spicy spread. If you’re looking for something other than the typical strawberry, blueberry, or raspberry jelly options, this apricot cardamom jam won’t disappoint. Smear it on toast, use it to make a zesty sandwich, or mix it into a fresh summery marinade.
9. Sliced Black Truffle Monterey Jack Cheese

Price: $4.99
This gourmet goodie is a bargain for less than $5. And the rich taste of truffles doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.
Specialty brands, like Bothwell Cheese, sell chunks of truffle-infused Monterey Jack for over $20 — making Trader Joe’s sliced cheese deal seem like a steal.
TJ’s veggie sushi is making a comeback. While some loyal Trader Joe’s shoppers have seen these before, the ready-made rolls are new to many markets.
At a fraction of the cost of what you could pay for sushi takeout, this cucumber, avocado, and carrot maki mix is a total bargain.
11. Pizza Seasoned Crackers

Price: $2.49
Get the taste of an entire pizza in one perfect palm-sized cracker. Instead of paying $20 or more for a hot pie, keep things cool for the summer and try the new mini mock marinara version.
Add these oregano and garlic-coated thin wheat rounds to an antipasto platter or a casual charcuterie board.
12. Jumeokbap

Price: $4.99
Save money on the cost of takeout and try this TJ’s under-$5 buy instead.
This instant classic is a meatless bite with plenty of protein. The plant-based bulgogi tastes like the real deal — making this Korean-inspired microwavable meal surprisingly savory.
Celebrate the dog days of summer with this refreshing fruit crisp. There’s no need to road trip it out to a pricey farm stand or find a bakery to get this crispy crumble.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of chilled Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey before you serve the peach and raspberry-packed sweet.
14. Guava Ultra Hand Cream

Price: $4.99
Trader Joe’s newest items extend well past the bakery, prepared foods, and pantry product aisles.
The store’s Guava Ultra Hand Cream is a mega moisturizer filled with good-for-you skin soothers like vitamin E, coconut oil, and shea butter.
Compare TJ’s three-ounce tube of cream to L’Occitane’s one-ounce travel size. You’ll pay under $5 for the larger guava moisturizer and $13 (at Ulta) for the smaller brand-name version.
Bottom line
Trader Joe’s newest finds are flying off store shelves. So, don’t waste time (or money) shopping somewhere else.
Even though TJ’s doesn’t have store coupons or a discount loyalty program, the retailer’s affordable prices will keep your budget in check. Stack your savings and use the best cash back credit cards to earn travel points, perks, or other rewards.
