You guys, IT’S MARCH!!!
Happy, happy, happy March!
I know it’s still winter, and I know that there is probably still a ton of snow at your house, but doesn’t it just feel warmer writing down today’s date?
I don’t know what you have planned for this month, but I’m pretty excited about it myself.
We have Spring Break, it’s our wedding anniversary, the weather here will be getting warmer (I’m going to will it warm), and we have a fresh new batch of spring sports to enjoy…plus, BASEBALL SEASON IS BACK!!!! I am SO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW RULES THIS SEASON TOO! Insert all the praise hands about that.
Needless to say, I’m happy over here on this first day of March 🙂 .
I thought we could kick off the season with a new Trader Joe’s Haul!
We’re in our third month of the year, but it’s our first TJ Haul of 2023. Grab your coffee, pad and pen, it’s time to make a list and get you over to Trader Joe’s!
I didn’t purchase this because you know, gluten…but geez, doesn’t this look divine?! Someone buy it and tell me all about it please!
Speaking of which…
I wanted to buy a box and eat them in my car, but I refrained. These little cookies sound delicious! If you’re in the store, grab some!
What have I been buying? Let’s start with…
…I love buying a bag of these little French green beans in the freezer section. You can do a million things with them, but our favorite way to enjoy them is roasted in a touch of olive oil, with sea salt, black pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon. The easiest side! They’re so tender!
It’s like an old-fashioned creamsicle bar from the 1980s but way better.
I mention this salad every time they bring it back. If you are a “dill person” like me, you must grab it the next time you’re there. Trust me! It’s so delicious!!
I had never tried these before, so I bought a bag. It’s a strawberry flavored licorice, and it’s delish! I loved how it was chewy and not too hard to bite into.
The gluten-free bakery items simply cannot be beat. Even if you’re not g-free, you’ll love these muffins.
Speaking of dill, these chips are back, so I bought two bags. I am obsessed with them!
HELLO?! Um, I’m upset with you because why hasn’t anyone ever told me to grab this mix before? The pineapple tastes like candy. Seriously, do they just sell the pineapple? This is crazy good. I could eat it for dessert!
They’re spicy, and I LOVE IT! These are perfect on our charcuterie board!
I bought 8 bottles of each! When I was standing there checking it out, one of the women that works at our Trader Joe’s told me to stock up now because they’ll be gone in a flash. I’ve only heard amazing things about this sunscreen. It’s going in our suitcase this spring break! Speaking of which…
…I thought this smelled so lovely that I bought it for our vacation too! All of the kiddos can share this as the scent is not too masculine or too feminine, it’s just fresh.
I just ate three of these while typing this very post 🙂 . It’s like bite-sized little York Peppermint Patties. These are perfect for March.
A new wrap in the fridge section! I enjoyed it for lunch last week.
Need I say more?
And finally, I talk about this body butter all the time, but this is also coming on vacation with us. It’s super hydrating, smells divine and will great for my whole family to use while on vacation (at a great price too!).
That’s what I’m currently loving from Trader Joe’s. What is your favorite new find?!
Now, if this is your first time to shop…
…make sure you first check out my FIRST TIMERS GUIDE TO TRADER JOE’S which includes a printable shopping list!
Also, if you’re a g-free home…
…you can catch my Gluten-Free Faves post HERE!
One last thing, if you blog…
…Let’s Look each month with us, in March, we will be posting on Wednesday, March 15th instead of the 8th.
Alrighty, what should I buy from Trader Joe’s right now? Please comment and share!
Happy March, friends! I hope you have a wonderful start to your month! I’ll see you tomorrow. xx
Shayla says
Soft and juicy dried mango!
Nancy says
Very disappointed in the cinnamon bread.
They had a sliced one for 3.99 that was so much better
Amazingly, Very little flavor
Elspeth Mizner says
I wish I had a Trader Joe’s by me so I cousin stock up! All these foods look delicious

Courtney Mac says
Anytime we travel to Dallas, we bring a cooler and hit TJ’s on the way home! I keep submitting my city for them to consider!
Annie says
Have your bestie grab a loaf of that bread and go have a work coffee break at her house. It is SO GOOD!
Mix and Match Mama says
#brilliant
Sarah Nienhuis says
I know your family is GF, but for everyone else…go buy the Sublime Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches right now. They are THE BEST, the cookies are soft and chewy, not hard and frozen. My family cuts them into quarters and we all share a bite after dinner. The perfect end to a meal. So so good.
Erika Slaughter says
I agree on everything you said about the dill items!!! That salad is SO good as well as the chips!
Kristen says
Their sunscreen is my fav!!!
Melissa says
Trader Joe’s fan here! I just bought a cheeseburger wrap that one of TJ employees reccomended. It’s basically all the cheeseburger stuff wrapped in a tortilla. It was so good! I’ve never seen it before, maybe a new product? But I recommend!
Mix and Match Mama says
Excuse me?! Where did you find this???? I need this in my life TODAY!!!
Donna Mason says
I want this as well. Let us know if you find out Shay!!!! PLEASE!
Lyssy in the City says
My husband and I are obsessed with the Hold The Cones, they’re the perfect night cap. The soft & juicy dried mangoes are also my favorite as are the 99 cent greeting cards.
polly pover says
So hard to find-and usually so expensive- for scent free sunscreen! So glad TJ’s has it! Have a wonderful trip1!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Thank you, Polly!!
Kacey says
Can confirm, the cinnamon bread is delish!! It makes the BEST French toast!
Mix and Match Mama says
It just looks divine!!!!
Nicole DiDonato says
We love the Cannoli dip!! So yummy to eat with some berries
Kim says
Spicy Buffalo Cheddar??!!! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Barb says
If you like Mangoes like I do. Costa Vida has a mango salad, wth pork,and all the fixings you can choose and then put Mango dressing on it–so good!
Erin says
If you like ginger, you’ve got to try the Triple Ginger mini pretzels. We buy their crystallized ginger a LOT -we make tea with it- break up a piece in a mug and pour hot water over it, then use a spoon to mash the ginger up a bit. It tastes great, and helps with anything bothering you, headaches, congestion, stomach… Anyway, the pretzels are covered in yogurt and then a whole bunch of that sweet crystallized ginger. They are the perfect snack or treat !!
Mix and Match Mama says
Whaaaaat?! Mind blown.
Nancy says
Eating them now! They are so delish!
Great for digestive issues too!!!♥️
Cindi says
Trader Joe’s is the only place where I can find dried apricots FROM CALIFORNIA! The Turkish ones just aren’t juicy and tart and sweet as the ones from Cali! (And I agree about the dried mango, too!)
Mix and Match Mama says
You are so spot on about that! Turkish ones are way too hard to bite into.
Mandy says
Have any of your kiddos tried the hair wash? I loved the smell as well so I bought and tried. Unfortunately, it didn’t leave my hair as clean as other shampoos, same for my daughter. It’s great as a conditioner though.
Mix and Match Mama says
Not yet! I’m saving it for our trip. I’ll keep you posted.
Laura Slesinsky says
The hair wash was not good for me or my daughter’s hair and took days to get it out. It left it very greasy.
Mix and Match Mama says
Okay, maybe I need to open it at home before traveling with it! Thanks, ladies!!!
Patty says
If you haven’t tried the gluten free coffee cake muffins, they are even Better than the ginger ones.

Mix and Match Mama says
I have!! They are so crazy moist and delicious!
Margo says
Ioved the ginger ones but they have been discontinued
. Bring them back!
Caitlin says
Fun finds- I’ll have to try some! I highly recommend the gluten free tamari soy crackers. Our whole family loves tbem!
Mix and Match Mama says
I haven’t tried those!! Thank you, thank you!
Dana P says
For an easy salad, I love to do the dried mango with chili powder and the honey sesame cashews on any kind of lettuce. Then I add whatever dressing and it’s so good! We served it for community group at our house one evening and everyone loved it. The truth was that I just ran out of time and threw it together!
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m writing this down, Dana!!
Mary says
Ah! I can’t wait to go next. Cheapest place around for eggs, I have found!! I got them for 2.99 a month ago!
Danielle Bryant says
Hey girl heyyyy! I’m a home baker and cinnamon bread is a staple on my menu!! I need to try making a GF version!
Carole says
I love those green beans cooked in the air fryer! Going tonight to look for the mango ice cream bars, that Trek Mix, and sunscreen! And possibly some muffins! Haha
Sheaffer says
Going to try those mango cream bars for sure! And I LOVE dried pineapple.
Kelly says
I just discovered that TJ’s has little red containers of either minced garlic or ginger in their freezer section. They are like ice cube trays so you can just pop out however much you need. They are super handy!
Jaimee Shaffer says
I’ve been looking for a good “excuse” to get to my TJ’s! It’s about 45 minutes away but SO worth the drive. Have you tried the Bulgar Pilaf? It has butternut squash & feta cheese and is sooo good! I agree on the dried mango…by FAR the best I’ve had. I also love a spoonful of their pineapple spread mixed in with some cottage cheese.
Emy says
We love the “brookie” half brownie/half chocolate chip. We refrigerate them. We also love the vegetable fried rice.
Shannon says
Yes, they do sell straight dried pineapple and it is delish. Like candy, but good for you!
They run out of it often, so you have to keep an eye out for it.
The best one comes in bright yellow packaging (pictures of pineapple on it) and it’s only ingredient is “pineapple”, no additives.
Ashley says
So many goodies on this list, Shay! I bet I would love those dill potato chips!! I wish we had a Trader Joe’s closer to us.
Hope you’re having a great weekend so far! 🙂
