Trader Joes’s Top 30

April 27, 2015 by Tonja 3 Comments

I have plenty of friends whom I consider “Trader Joe’s experts.”  I am always asking them  their favorite things to buy.  I love shopping here because it’s inexpensive, organic and I like trying their fun new foods.  I have been digging around here a lot in the past few months (the manager thinks I’m a stalker), and here’s what I found as my top 30 Trader-Joe shortcuts for your home pantry.  These are in no particular order and this is by no means comprehensive; just a few of my favorite things to make your life a little easier on busy days when you aren’t feeling inspired. I would love to know your “must have’s” so send me a note. See you at Trader Joes!
