While some people believe Trader Joe’s shines the brightest in the fall or during the holiday season, we beg to differ. Trader Joe’s products are a win all year round. In fact, many of us find ourselves frequenting TJ’s even more during the summer. With our schedules packed, more food-centric events, and a craving for fresh flavors, Trader Joe’s always delivers. However, our wallets might feel the pinch due to happy hours, new swimsuits, and summer weddings.
Curious about what to pick up on your next Trader Joe’s trip? You’ve come to the right place. Here are the essential Trader Joe’s summer products we swear by every year, along with some exciting new items to add to your shopping list.
1. Patio Potato Chips
These chips symbolize that summer is near. Grab a bag while you can – with flavors like salt and vinegar, dill pickle, ketchup, and BBQ, it’s like a taste of summer in every bite. Perfect for any barbecue or outdoor gathering, but be warned, the bag tends to vanish quickly.
2. Blueberry Fields Hard Cheese
With the essence of summer berries, the Blueberry Fields Hard Cheese is a delightful blend of sharp cheese and tangy blueberry purée. A perfect addition to a summer cheese platter or salad with berries and spinach.
3. Organic Jalapeño Limeade
This staple summer product is great for spicy margaritas or refreshing summer cocktails. Add a splash of tequila or rum for a tasty drink, or enjoy it as is with a garnish of basil or mint for a taco night accompaniment.
4. Brazil Nut Body Scrub
The Brazil Nut Body Scrub, an extension of the Brazil Nut Body Butter, offers exfoliation with coarse sugar crystals and coconut shell powder. A perfect addition to your self-care routine, along with the newly launched Brazil Nut Body Wash.
5. Salted Caramel & Pistachio Scented Candle
The Salted Caramel & Pistachio Scented Candle captures the sumptuous aroma of Trader Joe’s Brazil nut products. Treat yourself to this delightful candle that matches the Brazil nut lineup for a truly indulgent experience.
