Who doesn’t love Trader Joe’s? Trader Joe’s has something amazing for everyone. They have a wide selection of food, including vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian, and kosher options. The best part is that their food is tasty, and they have delicious pre-made meals for busy days.

My all-time favorites are their frozen dumplings, chicken fried rice, and Maple cookies. Trader Joe’s even caters to your pets – my dogs love their gluten-free treats!

As an organized person, I love the layout of the store as well. It makes finding everything so much easier. I have so much fun shopping at Trader Joe’s with their friendly customer service as well. The aisles are always organized accordingly:

  • In the produce section, they always have the freshest fruits with a wide variety of Organic options. I highly recommend their sweet Organic pink lady apples. They also offer seasonal fruits and vegetables, so if you’re in an explorative mood, grab yourself a new fruit or vegetable to try! In the vegetable section, they also have ready-to-go salads and wraps. Whichever one you choose, you can’t go wrong! While you’re in that aisle, try their unique dips like the Tzatziki dip, eggplant hummus, and 5-layer dip!
  • The chips section is another wonderful aisle. Many of their options take a unique twist on conventional chips. Some of my personal favorites are the Rolled chili lime corn tortilla chips, salt and vinegar kettle chips, and baked onion rings.
  • The seasoning section is small, but they have definitely outdone themselves. If you haven’t tried their famous “Everything But the Bagel” seasoning, that is a must! I recommend sprinkling it on your avocado toast, eggs, or–to be honest–everything! They also have other seasonings like vegan chickenless seasoning, chili lime seasoning, and umami seasoning. My seasoning drawer has just about every seasoning Trader Joe’s offers.
  • Next is the frozen section. They have everything from burritos to pasta to fried rice to pizza to meat. They have many different options for many different diets. I always have some frozen ready-to-go meals from Trader Joe’s in my freezer. They usually only take about 3 minutes in the microwave, but they taste like restaurant meals. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different meals like their chicken fried rice and orange chicken!
  • For my favorite section – the desserts/sweets. They are always adding new sweets and desserts. Right now, I am obsessed with their mochi ice cream and macarons. They also have a variety of crackers, cookies, chocolates, and gummies. My family favorite is the Maple cookies and the Joe Joe’s, which also come in the slim version.
