Happy Monday, friends!!
Well, it’s officially Day #1 of summer break over here, so while we get some sort of routine started, I thought I’d share some new Trader Joe’s faves with you!
I love going to Trader Joe’s.
It’s my happy place.
If it’s your happy place too, add these things to your shopping list…
Well, these cookies look amazing and I want all of you gluten-eating people out there to buy them and tell me what they taste like. When I walk past them, they call my name 😉 .
Also, I saw these little biscotti cookies and they called my name too. An afternoon cup of coffee with a little cookie on the side? Perfection.
Is it just me or has Trader Joe’s totally upped their creamer game? I typically buy their vanilla creamer, but now, they have a few new choices. This Plant Folk Coconut Creamer here is super delish (not too sweet)…
…and this one here is totally delish if you want yours to have a bit more sweetness to it.
Speaking of creamer, they have repackaged their vanilla and hazelnut creamers and they now come in a bottle like this.
So, I love me some Trader Joe’s tzatziki but this one here with a bit of jalapeño is my new favorite. It has just enough of a kick to make it extra interesting.
Okay, everyone needs to buy this cheese right here and then use it when you make…
…my Dill Pickle Burgers 🙂 .
Speaking of which…
…the last two weeks when I’ve gone to Trader Joe’s, I’ve bought two containers of these pickles. They are SO GOOD!! You’ll find these in the fridge section by the dips. They’re very fresh and really delish.
In the freezer section, you’re going to find these popsicles. At my house, we all love these. They’re a little tart and a little sweet.
Ummmmm…I don’t even know what this is called, but I’m kind of obsessed with it. Each piece of popcorn contains all of those flavors. It’s the most random and delish popcorn I’ve ever had. It is a big bite of everything in each piece of popcorn.
I love this with their chicken sausage grilled on the side! This is also in the refrigerated section.
So, you know how much I love the truffle marcona almonds? I buy them all the time because they are AMAZING as a quick snack or on our charcuterie board. Well…I went ahead and cheated on truffle and bought the rosemary version, and they’re delish too! These would be really great in a snack mix too!
Ashby’s current go-to breakfast! She likes two of these eggs split down the center and then sprinkled with…
…this seasoning blend here (that I’ve shared before). This blend is delish on avocado toast too!
Friends, is this new?! Why haven’t I bought it until this month??? Other than fresh-squeezed from a machine right in front of me…this is the best orange juice I’ve ever had. Please tell me you guys agree??? It’s so good and now, I won’t be able to buy any other brand.
‘Tis summertime 🙂 .
School might be over but baseball season still has another month. We can’t go to one of Smith’s games without GUMMIES in our bag! Both of these are delish and seasonal!
One of you suggested last month that I purchase these…I’ve been adding them to my lunch and on the side of my burgers and such. So good! Thank you for the rec!!!
And finally, I found this little package of goodness near the dips! All I needed was a fork to dig into it, but yes, a toasted piece of bread would be lovely too. What’s not to love?!
That wraps up this month’s Trader Joe’s Haul!
Don’t forget that I have this too…
…my First Timer’s Guide to Trader Joe’s! In that post, I even include a printable shopping list for you.

Okay, what should I buy now for SUMMER???? Please comment and share! My family loves your suggestions!!
Have a great Monday, everyone! xx
Alexis says
If you love their orange juice, you need to try their grapefruit juice (if you haven’t already)! It is my very fav and has ruined me for any other brand. So. Good. It’s also so good if you splash a little of it into a marg!
Alexis Murrell says
You have to try the sweet corn, burrata, and basil ravioli!! It makes the perfect lunch and just screams summer to me! Delish!
Elspeth says
I need to head to a TJ just to see what they have for the season! Everything looks delicious!

Alicia Fedell says
Their Mango dummies are amazing. My husband told me I have to stop buying them because we eat them before the kids can get into them!
Sheaffer Sims says
Adding the pickles to my list RIGHT NOW.
Erika Slaughter says
I’ve got your dill pickle burgers on my list! They look amazing!
Hayley says
You have to try the sparkling lemonade! Near the wine section but non alcoholic. Squeeze some fresh lemon in and it’s delish or add vodka for the perfect summer cocktail!
Mix and Match Mama says
Ohhhhhhh! I haven’t!! Thank you!!!!
Nicole says
My husband loves that lemonade!
Kelly says
I bought their sparkling strawberry lemonade to serve at a shower and I had so many people asking what it was. The next time I went, they only had mixed berry lemonade and it was equally as good. I’m not even a sparkling anything drinker but this was so yummy!
Kara says
I just bought those sprinkle cookies yesterday and they’re AMAZING!
Mix and Match Mama says
They look amazing 🙂 !
Jen says
I buy those almonds and havarti cheese every single time I go to TJ! So good. Have you tried the lemon basil pasta salad? It’s in a small tub in fridge…SO Good. I had it for lunch and dinner on Saturday.
Mix and Match Mama says
I haven’t tried that!! Adding it to my cart next time! Thank you!!
Emily says
While I’m a huge fan of Trader Joe’s… I would have to say the packaging of those sprinkle cookies is better than the actual cookies.
Susan says
I’m positive you’re checking but a note to others…some TJs gummies have wheat and some don’t! Be sure to flip over and check. I’ve made the mistake before ?
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you!!! I always love reminders!!
Julie says
Ohhh, Shay, I’m here to tell you that unfortunately, the sprinkle cookies (and also, their strawberry shortcake version of them) are not so good. I was really excited and they just aren’t great. Bummer! Even my three kids (teens) who will eat any cookie did not love. But you can know that you are not missing out!
My kids are obsessed with their mini ice cream cones. Highly recommend! Also, we’ve been doing their pre-made wraps and sandwiches for school lunches. (Still in school until June on the East Coast!)
Josie Morris says
so I bought the sprinkles cookies with very high hopes and my entire family was completely disappointed. The cookies were hard- not chewy like we’d hoped- and the overall taste was blah. In fact we ended up throwing away half the box they were so bad. Don’t feel left out– you’re not missing much 😉
Michele Triscik says
Gluten free cinnamon coffee cake muffins are delicious!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes, yes, yes!!!!

Maham says
Jalapeño flavored rice and corn puffs! Addictive!
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!!! I do love those!!!
Siena Pugnale says
The fresh squeezed OJ is great, but the fresh squeezed Tangerine juice they have is even better!! Try it!
Mix and Match Mama says
Tangerine???? I’m so intrigued!!
Catherine says
Green Goddess Gouda is delicious!
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s a cheese that tastes like the dressing?! What? What?!
Jodi says
The mini coffee ice cream sandwiches are the best!
Leslie Susan Clingan says
As I have whined and complained here before, we don’t have a Trade Joe’s in El Paso. If you have the ears of the good TJ folks, please beg them to bring a store to far west Texas. These posts are torture for me…reading and hungering for all the things I can’t have. Pinning the dill burger recipe and hoping I can order the pickles and cheese or finds substitutes. Loved the pepper jelly you recommended from TJs. Found it on Amazon.
Kelly says
We just got a TJ’s in Little Rock last year. Someone started a Facebook page called Bring Trader Joe’s to Little Rock and a grassroot’s movement started from there. News stations would report on it occasionally and a couple of years later, we got one!
Holly says
Try the Jalepeno limeade next time… it’s in a glass jar (not refrigerated). Add some tequila and it makes a delicious margarita-like cocktail.
Mix and Match Mama says
I’ve been so tempted to grab that! You’ve convinced me!
Courtney says
I second the jalepeno limeade! Buy 2!
Lori reggio says
Unexpected cheddar!!! IT IS THE BEST CHEDDAR YOU WILL EVER HAVE!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
I could not agree more!!!
Lily says
First time commenting to tell you that there’s a brand new dill pickle mustard that sounds right up your alley 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
Whhhhhhhat?! Who makes it?! I need details! Ha! And please comment again 🙂 !!!
Lily says
It’s at Trader Joe’s!!
Sarah M. says
What is special about the hard boiled eggs? Any reason why you’d buy these instead of boiling them yourself?
Mix and Match Mama says
I boil eggs all the time, but I LOVE having them on hand so that Ashby can just grab them herself for a quick snack. It makes it so easy!
Ashley says
We bought the sandwich cookies. They are good but super sweet. It’s like a cupcake in a cookie! It is a nice treat to pack in lunches or for after dinner dessert. We also love TJ individual olive packs for on the go. We are big fans of the hard boiled eggs. Other faves are the mini ice creams in the cones and also the gummy lobsters that taste like Swedish fish. We go at least once a week to TJs! Last time they had a bubble machine at the front doors and staff was jamming out to music- it makes me so happy to shop there.
