Happy Happy THURSDAY!
On Tuesday morning, I grabbed my coffee and headed to the happiest place on Earth…Trader Joe’s 🙂 . I hadn’t been in about a month, so needless to say, I was giddy. I arrived about 15 minutes after they opened, so it was nice and empty and oh so peaceful.
I have a few new finds to share, some of my summer staples and of course, my printable shopping list for summers at Trader Joe’s.
Some of them are seasonal items, some of them are there year around, some of them are produce…it’s just my typical shopping list when I shop in the summer time. I made a list, I saved it on my phone, and now, it makes life much easier when I head there each time.
But first, I created this earlier in the week and need to share it ASAP because FATHER’S DAY IS THIS WEEKEND! Should you need a last minute gift idea that will be delivered on time, here you go…

Okay, on to a few specific things I bought this week along with all my summer staples from Trader Joe’s…
One of my favorite summer suppers is grilling sausages and then just adding sides. Trader Joe’s has a HUGE selection of sausages, and this week, I picked up these two packs for an easy dinner with grilled corn on the cobb, a salad and guacamole.
These taste like snickerdoodle cookies. If I’m being honest, I’m a little confused why they’re out now though because in my opinion, they taste like fall. Needless to say, I love them! Speaking of new things out now that really seem like “fall” to me…
…yes please! I made a charcuterie board for my parents this week which included these and…
…YES!!!!! Now, these are not gluten-free, but I knew my mom would love them (and she did!), and they were perfect on the side of our charcuterie board with Trader Joe’s bleu cheese spread on top. These guys are my #1 find right now!
I brought these home, and my kids ate the entire sack at lunch. I don’t even know how to describe these…they’re a little sweet (like kettle corn) and then all of a sudden, they POP with just a bit a heat. They’re super unexpected and really delicious.
Of course!!! I added them to my sausages and my burger this week. This is seasonal and OH SO STINKIN’ DELICIOUS! Buy two bottles!
I’m not typically a cold brew gal, but I was very intrigued. I enjoyed the black while Kensington loved the French vanilla.
Now this…
…is a must buy item! I have shared this seasonal body butter before, but it smells just like Sol de Janeiro but at a fraction of the price. It’s only in stores a limited amount of time, and you will love it!
My kids were super pumped about these…
…and these!
Finally…
…this salad was so delicious that Ashby asked me if I could start getting her one to have every single day. Ha! This is a great salad find, friends!
Okay, don’t forget, you can find my printable shopping list right here:

Two few weeks ago I found taco Gouda, but my store was out when I went back a week later. I think it is seasonal and if you find it you absolutely must try it!
Laura says
Yum! I was just at Trader Joe’s last week and wondered if I’d get some ideas on here soon 🙂 They had some dark chocolate pistachios there last time that looked good! I didn’t grab them, but I think I might try next week!!
Do you know if the salmon salad (I saw “crispy onions” on there?) is GF? Looks delicious!
Mix and Match Mama says
The crispy onions are not (per package), but other than that, everything else was!
Lisa D says
Buy those dark chocolate pistachios, they are delicious!
Elspeth says
These all look so good! I wish I had a Trader Joe’s closer to me so I could enjoy! Yum!

Great list! My niece is turning 20 and I was sort of struggling with her birthday gift… She’s headed to the beach next week so I think I will go to Trader Joe’s and fill up a sack of goodies for her to take with her. I think it will be a special treat 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
What a special gift!!!
Kelly says
They have the cutest reusable shopping bag right now with lemons on one side and limes on the other. My 22 year old daughter saw mine and bought one for herself. Might be a cute way to gift your niece the treats.
Lyssy says
The Mango Ice Cream bars are my favorite seasonal item right now, perfect summer treat!
Carolyn says
Jalapeño limeade is great mixed with vodka. However, I went last week and it wasn’t there. It’s usually a summer item. 😏
Andrea says
If you’ve never tried Lesley Stowe Raincoast Crisps, they are SO delicious! Our absolute favorite for charcuterie boards! They have some almond flour options that are gf and so, so good.
Lauren says
Hi! Do you have any gluten free cracker recommendations from TJ’s? I’m making a charcuterie board and one of my friends can’t have gluten.
Also, the strawberry yogurt covered almonds and strawberries and cream pretzels are so good!
Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!!! The Sweet Potato Crackers!! We LOVE those!!
Kelly says
Glad to hear this! I always default to the rice crackers- which I love- but always appreciate other options!
Sandi F says
I’m not gluten free but their seasonal gluten free strawberry muffins I thought were really good. I also love their oak smoked salmon, I have it with my eggs for more protein at breakfast.
Tiffany says
I found Strawberry yogurt covered almonds at Trader Joe’s last week—delicious!
Sheaffer says
I went today and grabbed dark chocolate covered pistachios! I’ll keep you posted!
Debbie Lang says
I followed your simplify life with the same birthday gift recommendation and stocked up on the Brazil Nut body cream, scrub and wash for girlfriend gifts over the next few months. Adding a TJs card, face mask and a few other items. I have my first celebration tonight, and it was so nice to know I already had her gift ready to go. 🙂
Karen in Virginia says
It’s funny that you just did a post today on trader Joe’s. I’m just now reading this and I just got back from trader Joe’s! Did you see the summer jingle jangle? Unless I’m going crazy, I thought I saw this in the store tonight.
Mix and Match Mama says
I saw it!!! I didn’t buy any this trip, but I’m kicking myself now.
Karen in Virginia says
I just commented a minute ago, it’s called enchanted jangle!
Katie says
I cannot get over how cute your new puppy is! He looks EXACTLY like the American Girl Doll dog I had in the 90’s! Love reading your blog, especially in the summer 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
He is SO SWEET too!!!!
Angela Wilbur says
The strawberry, jalapeno crisps are my favorite too! they are equally as good with TJ’s mushroom brie 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
I have not tried that brie!! I am so intrigued by it though as I love me some mushrooms.
Kristin S says
The umami crunchies are so great on the beach/lake. They don’t get soggy!
