I know I'm a weirdo because I LOVE to go grocery shopping. You're 100 percent lying if you don't get excited to go to your friendly neighborhood Trader Joe's any chance you can. I didn't get the hype at first, but I've truly been changed into a huge fan of Mr. Joe's products. If you're still skeptical of the magic of Trader Joe's or are already a huge fan, here's a list of products you have to try.
1. Crispy Crunchy Mochi Rice Nuggets
Put these guys at the top of your snack list! These crunchy fried nuggets of pure joy are 100 percent worth it.
2. Pumpkin EVERYTHING
Mochi ice cream, regular ice cream, cookies, crackers, bread, bars, bagels and even Cinnabuns -- Trader Joe's has to be one of your #1 Fall Goodies locations.
3. Bread
Trader Joe's extensive bread aisle reaches as far as the eye can see and you can bet that each loaf, roll and tortilla are perfectly fresh and delicious.
4. Raviolis
Some of the most interesting and tasty kinds of ravioli I've ever had have been from Trader Joe's (and that carries a lot of weight coming from a Jersey girl). The ravioli are fresh and frozen with fillings like chicken pot pie, pumpkin, goat cheese, sun-dried tomato, artichoke and lobster.
5. Pot stickers
In both chicken and pork, these huge bags of already cooked pot stickers are literally the perfect meal for when you're running low on time but need a good filling dinner.
6. Fancy pizza
Forget your typical bagel pizza products or plain cheese microwaveable pizzas; Trader Joe's has got you covered for your next fancy Italian feast! With toppings like BBQ chicken, burrata, prosciutto and arugula, spinach and ricotta, sweet potato and butternut squash, and kale, your weekly pizza dinner will have a serious upgrade.
7. 2 Buck Chuck
1 bottle of wine. $2. 'Nough said.
8. Fancy cheeses and meats
Salami, prosciutto, soppressata, goat cheese, brie, smoked Gouda, mozzarella -- good luck making a decision in this aisle.
9. Sriracha chips
For someone who doesn't really like sriracha (I know, ok, I'm sorry), these chips are amazingly addicting.
10. Cereal
Like the bread aisle, Trader Joe's variety of cereals and granola products far surpasses your typical grocery store grains. Some combos include maple pecan, pomegranate and blueberry, ginger, almond and cashew, and purple maize. You'll never feel fancier eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast.
