Skip the same plain chips and forget about those pricy gourmet charcuterie platters. You can save money at TJ’s on the season’s best salty, savory, and sweet snacks.
Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue, packing for a road trip, or just need a few easy grab-and-go goodies, Trader Joe’s has it all. So go ahead and stock up on snacks.
Editor’s note: Prices are subject to change and may vary by location.
This line of products first appeared as the holiday-themed Jingle Jangle.
The latest version is a magical summertime mix of lemon yogurt-coated animal-shaped cookies, chocolate-covered pretzel nuggets, strawberry yogurt-covered marshmallows, confectionary chips, and waffle pretzels.
The whimsical blend is perfect for parties or everyday snacking.
S’mores are a summertime staple. But the combined cost of graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate bars can get expensive.
This Trader Joe’s snack combines everything you expect from a s’more into one tiny cluster. And, for less than $4, these treats are an affordable alternative to the real deal.
5. Ube Pretzels
Price: $3.49
Ube is the flavor of the season. Purple yam gives these yogurt-covered pretzels a sweet, nutty taste and a pretty purple color.
Pair the pretzels with a dessert dip or sprinkle them over a chilly bowl of vanilla ice cream.
6. Popcorn In A Pickle
Price: $2.29
Popcorn In A Pickle is back for the summer. This fan favorite is perfectly priced at $2.29 per bag.
Compare Trader Joe’s price to the $2.99 bag of Tabitha Brown for Target’s Dill Pickle Organic Popcorn.
Everything But the Bagel seasoning is everywhere this season. TJ’s “Everything” nut duo features a savory blend of black and white sesame and poppy seeds, onion, garlic, and sea salt.
Take the travel-ready bag on your next road trip, or stash it in your beach tote.
8. Organic Dried Ataulfo Mango Slices
Price: $4.99
It’s not always practical to pack a whole piece of fruit. Instead of a full mango, try these organic dried slices. The on-the-go snack has the same sweet mango taste — minus the juicy mess.
You can also top an ice cream sundae, bake fruit-filled cookies, or add a punch of flavor to your favorite chicken recipe with these slices.
9. Super Seedy Cheese Snack Bites
Price: $3.49
Parmesan cheese, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, peppercorn, black sesame, and quinoa give this foodie find a bold, savory taste.
For under $3.50, you’ll get 2.8 ounces of the bite-sized snacks. Eat the cheesy treats straight from the bag, top them with cut grilled veggies, or dip them into spicy salsa.
Imagine what would happen if you baked trail mix into a crispy cracker bed. That’s exactly what Trader Joe’s did — and the taste is pure goodness.
Cashews, pumpkin seeds, dried mung beans, and raisins give these snacks a completely crave-worthy taste. Toss a bag in your picnic basket or bring them along on a summertime hike.
11. Sweet Plantain Chips
Price: $2.29
Pass on potatoes this summer. Trader Joe’s has Colombian plantain chips with an unexpected sweet taste. Pair the gluten-free goodies with mango chutney, guac, or a creamy dip.
12. Hold the Cone Tips
Price: $3.99
You don’t need to pay $5 or more just to get the best part of an ice cream cone. These mini snacks are the crunchy, chocolaty tips you adore.
And as a bonus, you won’t have to worry about a melty ice cream mess with these “cones.”
You can’t beat this price. For $1.99, you’ll get 2.5 ounces of crispy, crunchy onion ring snacks.
Stack the sour cream-flavored circles on a pulled pork sandwich, eat them with burgers, or crumble them on barbecued hot dogs.
14. Mini (Almost) Everything Bagel Sandwich Crackers
Price: $3.49
Trader Joe’s seriously upgraded the mini cheese sandwich cracker with this popular pick.
The bargain-priced seven-ounce box of snacks has the garlic, onion, poppy, and salt taste of an everything bagel — minus the actual bagel.
15. Piquant Popcorn
Price: $2.99
Are you looking for a savory snack for your next at-home movie night? This isn’t your typical popcorn.
A light blend of garlic and onion adds a subtle tangy flavor, while nutritional yeast gives the puffed kernels a cheesy taste.
16. Many Things Snack Mix
Price: $2.99
It’s all in the name. This under-$3 bag contains bread chips, pretzels, honey and butter cereal squares, honey-roasted peanuts, and crispy corn sticks.
Pour the salty snack into a bowl to serve at your next summer party. Your guests will thank you.
Bottom line
From pickle-flavored potato chips to trail mix in a cracker, Trader Joe’s has the tastiest summer snacks at bargain prices. But that’s not all.
Save more on everyday essentials and stock up on pantry and fridge staples, as well as freezer finds. While the retailer doesn’t have coupons, the low prices will help you stay on budget this summer.
