The Best Trader Joe’s Buys To Add To Your Grocery List Before Summer Ends

We have to give Trader Joe’s its due credit: Our favorite grocery store can get us to try just about anything, from Jalapeño Limeade to Jackfruit Patties to Cookie Butter. Perhaps the secret lies in its rotating selection of seasonal goods. When our go-to is off the shelves, we’re more open to experimenting with a new offering.

This is good, because summer is the perfect season to snack. Think about it: A road trip is basically planned once you go shopping for treats. A day at the beach is only as good as the food spread on the towels. And what is a BBQ if not a curation of the most summer-friendly foods?

The first months of summer are behind us, but luckily, we have one more to go. Which means now is the time to text the group chat and get the (beach) ball rolling. Here are our favorite Trader Joe’s foods that are served and best enjoyed during this season.
