"Trader Joe’s spent 2025 like so many of us: looking for an escape from reality. They may have run out of eggs and yogurt a few times (at my store), but they never seemed to run out of chocolate-covered crunchy munch-y doodads. Phew! Would I find sweet relief in funnel cake french fries? Maybe! I tried like hell, at least. After a year of grocery shopping with my new stuff radar, and trying some gruesome goods (how did they make such terrible cinnamon rolls?), here are the new products that I’d buy again—plus the staples I always pick up." - bon appétit

"Not counting, like, blueberries and the barbecue-cut salmon, these are the ongoing Trader Joe’s icons that I (almost) always pick up, in order of life essentiality." - bon appétit missing: Truly Tortilla Chips, Chana Masala, Very Cherry Berry Blend, Butternut Squash Ravioli, Chocolaty Coated Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Bites, Coconut Milk, Any of the coated pretzels (vague)
