From Mandarin orange chicken to mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups, Trader Joe’s fans know how to score the best deals on every shopping trip by filling their carts with beloved buys.
But the retailer is always rolling out new foodie finds — and at budget-friendly prices.
Whether you’re planning a summer barbecue or are searching for the latest, greatest dessert trend, we’ve got the new, totally drool-worthy picks from TJ’s.
Editor’s note: Prices are subject to change and may vary by location.
There’s no need to buy a pricey bottle of honey just to sweeten your peanut butter.
Trader Joe’s combines both ingredients into one tasty spread. Use this new product to make a jelly sandwich, slather pancakes, or cover crackers with the sweet and salty selection.
Fans of “This… Walks Into A Bar” cereal bars will fall for this summery flavor.
Eat one of the tasty treats for breakfast, or crumble it into vanilla ice cream to make a deconstructed peach cobbler for dessert. This box of bars is a value at $2.49 for six.
3. Organic Mango Vinaigrette Dressing

Price: $3.99
A mix of mango puree, distilled white vinegar, veggie oil, and cane sugar makes this dressing the perfect pick for summer salads.
But that’s not all. You can also pour the organic option over chicken, fish, or tofu as a tangy (and affordable) marinade.
Korean for “fist” and “rice,” this new freezer section star is a delicious vegan delight. Don’t let the plant-based bulgogi fool you.
This mock meat tastes like the real deal. For less than $5, you’ll get four frozen heat-and-eat packs of this Asian-inspired meal.
5. Panzerotti Pizza Bites

Price: $3.99
Baking adds extra heat to your already hot house. This new pizza-like product has all the flavor of a homemade pie — minus the excessive oven bake time.

6. Jalapeno Seasoned Corn and Rice Puffs

Price:$2.49
Spice up your summer BBQ with this salty snack. The peppery seasoned rice puffs have a crisp corn crunch you won’t find with other brand-name chips.
You also won’t find a high price tag. These crisps cost less than $2.50 per bag.
It’s a summer seafood boil. But you won’t have to pay restaurant prices for this Cajun classic.
The frozen fish-based meal includes shrimp, tilapia, and clams with andouille sausage, mini potatoes, and corn on the cob.
8. Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Skewers

Price: $7.49
Get the grill ready—or don’t. If barbecuing dinner isn’t on your to-do list, try these fully-cooked chicken thigh meat skewers.

9. Bubble Waffles

Price: $4.49
These coconut milk, vanilla bean paste, rice milk shortening, and cane sugar bubble-like balls of sweet dough are a bargain breakfast you won’t find at your local grocery store.
While waffles are a traditional breakfast food, you can also top these dessert-like puffs with ice cream or serve them as a side with a savory meal.
Serve your guests a bakery-style dessert at your next backyard barbecue or holiday bash. This sweet treat is a decadent delight — minus the extravagant price.
The frozen cheesecake comes fully prepared and ready to thaw. A tangy taste of ginger mixed with a lemony zest makes this Trader Joe’s buy a soon-to-be new favorite.
11. Caramel Coffee Almonds

Price: $4.99
Barista-blended coffee, a caramel candy taste, and a nutty flavor combine to create this sweet, salty treat. These almonds are almost as addictive as they are affordable.
Take the eight-ounce bag on your summertime road trip, pack it in your pool tote for a quick bite on the go, or serve the snacks at your next family gathering.
12. Super Strawberry Sorbet

Price: $3.99
Skip the specialty store sorbet and try Trader Joe’s less expensive option. The sweet but tart berries give this freezer section find a subtle summertime flavor.
Serve the creamy dessert with fresh strawberries, a drizzle of caramel, or TJ’s refreshingly zesty Lemon Baton Wafer Cookies.
At $3.79 for one pint, this fruit-packed sweet treat is a serious bargain. The banana and vanilla-flavored wafer cookie combo makes this ice cream a dream.
Eat the dessert as-is straight from the carton, or add your favorite toppings to create a summery sundae.
14. Strawberry and Rhubarb Hand Pies
