And that’s why I decided to create a top ten best buys list for Trader Joe’s; to help you get the best deals. This list will definitely save you time and money. So check them out and feel free to let me know your favorite Trader Joe’s deals!

Cheese

Trader Joe’s is a good source for inexpensive basics like cheese. And when I say cheese, I mean almost any kind of cheese you can think of. They really are a great price, so grab some nice cheeses for your meals or party this week!

Bananas

Compared to other grocery stores, bananas at Trader Joe’s are sold per piece (19 cents per banana) rather than by the pound. So if you only want one or two bananas (or a whole bunch), then you’ll definitely save so much more than if you bought them elsewhere.

Trader Joe’s is known for its store brand. They have plenty of people who are die-hard fans and will get anything Trader Joe’s. So if you’re into getting good quality store brands, then you’ll definitely save a lot.

If you’re stocking up this week for breakfast, then be sure to grab Joe’s O’s cereal. It’s so much cheaper and tastes great (they also have plenty of other tasty cereals).

Eggs

You can get eggs at Trader Joe’s that are cage free or normal for a great deal. You can get them at $1.99/dozen and that is so much cheaper compared to $2.70/dozen from your typical grocery store.

You can get pre-made meals like mac and cheese bites, steak and ale pies, and Mandarin Orange chicken that are easy to cook and filling. They’re perfect for when you have busy nights, and they’re so much better than frozen meals from other stores.

Their price for olive oil is so much better than other stores and is still great quality.

The sweet potatoes at Trader Joe’s are definitely a great deal (for both organic and non-organic). A 3 pound bag of organic sweet potatoes costs 3.99. Crazy right?
