One thing we probably all love about Trader Joe’s is that they are always coming out with new products! Whether it’s something seasonal or a new food trend Traders always seems to be on top of it! I’ve always loved Trader Joe’s, but since having Quinn I find myself shopping there more and more because of they’ve simplified meal prep with so many of their products and it’s budget friendly!
I’ve done a post in the past that was dedicated to my stapled grocery store list when shopping for my family. Today I’m focusing on specific items I buy from Trader Joe’s for Quinn. Sure my husband and I eat some of these foods too, but they really make my life easier when prepping her meals and snacks.

I keep a bag of Scandinavian Swimmers in The car for bribes! Also, the silver dollar pancakes and blueberry waffles for a quick snack in the am. My guy loves breakfast, but won’t eat much for lunch or dinner unless we call it a snack! The cookie butter ice cream is amazing with a spoonful of Nutella. Most of TJs is guilty pleasures for me. But then there are the frozen zucchini spirals & cauliflower rice for stir fry. I try to keep the frozen rice bags on hand as well. TJs is just amazing!! So much goodness In there!
Good idea!! OMG cookie butter ice cream sounds like heaven…I haven’t tried it! Thanks for sharing all your TJ faves!! xx
