Trader Joes Is The Superior Grocery Store, And These 10 Products Are Exactly The Reason Why

The sensation of walking into a Trader Joe's is like none other. From the bright-colored produce aisle to the massive frozen meal bins, this store can almost seem overwhelming at times. (But in the best way.) These 10 products, from all over the store, have changed the game for Trader Joe's.

1. Gone Berry Crazy!

Trader Joe's new "Gone Berry Crazy" has a familiar packaging, like it's banana counterpart.

While this list may be filled with classics, this new product deserves to make it to the top of the list. If you've been a loyal fan of Trader Joe's "Gone Bananas!" product (frozen chocolate-covered banana slices), you've probably been waiting as long as I have for them to release a different variety. A few months ago, TJ finally introduced their "Gone Berry Crazy!" product, which involves frozen strawberry pieces covered in dark chocolate. I'm here for it.

2. Dress Circle Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These delectable cookies come in an 18oz tub, which seems like a lot until it's empty in two days.

They've got a wordy title, but it's fitting of such a powerhouse Trader Joe product. These cookies are small, but mighty. (Life hack: sprinkle them on top of your ice cream.)

3. Trader Joe's Hummus Quartet

With four delicious varieties, you can't go wrong with the hummus quartet.

This makes a perfect item to bring along to parties with pita chips and pretzels! While all of them are worth the try, Roasted Red Pepper might be my favorite.

4. Everything But The Bagel Seasoning

If you were to scrape off the deliciousness from your everything bagel, you'd find it all in this tiny seasoning jar.

As an everything-bagel-fanatic, I've passed this product countless times thinking, "what else can I use this on?" But thanks to this guide from myrecipe.com, I've been finding ways to sneak this seasoning into so many of my recipes. (And it is life. changing.)

5. Speculoos Cookie Butter

Speculoos Cookie Butter comes in a crunchy version, also.

Oh, Speculoos, of course we wouldn't forget to add you to this list. Perhaps one of Trader Joe's most iconic products, Cookie Butter has certainly made a name for itself. Although it's delicious on waffles or dipped with apples, spreading it on rice cakes is my favorite way to enjoy.

P.S.: Trader Joe's also has an ice cream flavor dedicated to the cookie butter. And it's (obviously) delicious.

6. Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce

My choice-of-canned sauce. All day, everyday.

traderjoes.com

While Trader Joe's pasta sauces are often overshadowed by their flagship products, there's particularly one that deserves a lot more credit: Creamy Tomato Basil. It goes perfect with all pasta, but my favorite has to be bowtie or penne. Throw some grilled chicken on there, and it's the perfect meal.

7. Restaurant Style White Corn Tortilla Chips

None of the chips from Trader Joe's disappoint, but this one just deserves extra recognition.

traderjoes.com

If you've ever walked out of Chipotle or Qdoba and your last thoughts were "I wish I could buy huge bags of those chips and bring them home with me..." look no further than TJ's Restaurant Style White Corn Tortilla Chips. They've got the lime and salt that every chip deserves, and they pair perfectly with your favorite guacamole.

8. Just Mango Slices

Coming in at 120 calories per serving, these fruit slices make for a great quick and easy snack.

traderjoes.com

Let's talk about the dried fruit at Trader Joe's. It's incredible, inexpensive, and for the skeptics (like I myself once was): don't knock it until you try it. If you're up for it, these mango slices also come with a Chile-Spiced variety. Aside from these delicious finds, the Dried Turkish Apricots deserve an honorable mention.

9. Organic Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

This isn't your regular tomato soup, it's your spicy tomato soup.

As fall is quickly approaching, it's time to stock up on our favorite soups and hearty meals for the cooler weather. Pick up a box of Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper soup, or any of their other boxed soup varieties, and become just as obsessed as my family is with it.

10. Roasted Plantain Chips 

When you're passing by the chip aisle, pick up a bag of these for just $1.69.

Last but definitely not least on the list is a crowd favorite: Roasted Plantain Chips. They're everything I'm looking for in a salty and crunchy snack.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
