If you follow me on social media, particularly Instagram (as you should be doing) I have always been vocal about my intense love hate relationship with everyone’s favorite store, Trader Joe’s. It's too crowded, too chaotic, too much stuff and I just couldn’t deal… until the pandemic hit. Last year when Covid began, I started going to Trader Joe’s regularly. 

Although in a pandemic, Covid actually helped me sprout a new love for the store. The pacing of customers in the store really helped calm that super chaotic ‘I’m going to run you over for a bag of $2.99 cauliflower rice’ aggressive feeling and allowed me to really look and try the products. 

I started posting my finds on my Instastory, then on Twitter and boom, I started something ! Now I share my monthly TJ’s haul online and decided to share my complete list. Below, is literally every single thing I love and buy consistently from Trader Joe’s. Keep this email and use it for reference and of course tell me if you like anything I’ve mentioned. If you accidentally ditch this email, don’t worry. I updated my Trader Joe blog post to reflect it: here
