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.

https://www.amazon.com/Trader-Joes-Organic-Tomato-Roasted/dp/B00B4K8QTW

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
