Dried Fruit
prices vary
If you have a sweet tooth but want something a little healthier to satisfy your sweet cravings, dried fruit is king. Dried fruit can be such a toss-up, with many brands over-sweetening the fruit. However, Trader Joe’s has a variety of unsweetened and low-sugar options that are delicious and won’t break the bank.
Chicken Sausages

Oh man, is there anything better than a grilled sausage complete with peppers and onions on a hot summer evening? The chicken sausages at Trader Joe’s are perfect for this scenario, coming with the basic ingredients and zero fillers and additives. All you need to do is throw them on the grill until they’re cooked to golden perfection.
Cookie Butter
$4 for 14.1 oz.
This incredibly decadent concoction will quickly become your newest obsession after trying it. Seriously, it’s so good, you’re going to find yourself eating it straight out of the jar. It goes great on toast, fruit, or really anything you’d put peanut butter on.
Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
$4 for 32 oz.
