These great Trader Joes products are my go-tos for saving on my grocery bill.
Here are 10 of my favorites you might want to pick up the next time you’re there.
And for any big-box store fans, you might just be pleasantly surprised at the savings.

Eggs
It used to be that eggs were a cheap, reliable source of protein.
Olive Oil
Extra-virgin olive oil is an item that I almost never buy at conventional supermarket chains.
Save yourself some money and go directly for Trader Giotto’s 100% Italian Extra Virgin Oil.
It’s a real savings at $9.99 a liter.
Spices & Seasonings
It’s surprising how much a tiny jar of seasoning can set you back.
For another dollargive or takeyou can have some real seasoning fun.
Cheese
Trader Joe’s dairy section is a cheese lover’s dream.
And the prices are exceptional.
But even if you’re just looking for the basics, you’re sure to save.
Think 12 mozzarella sticks for $2.99 and a brick of cream cheese for only $1.99.
Nuts
Nut prices are, well, nuts.
There are only a few picks that make their way into my cart, like the bagged lettuces.
But my must-have when it comes to fruits and vegetables can’t be found in the produce section.
And I can’t go without mentioning the super-sweet jarred peaches.
Bread
White bread, gluten-free bread, brioche breadyou get the point: Trader Joe’s knows bread.
And the seasonal baked goods (did someone say pumpkin bread?)
are simply too tempting to pass up.
Coffee & Chocolate
I’m grouping these together since they’re both sources of caffeine … and joy.
