A little intimidated to shop at Trader Joe’s because there are so many good options? I get it. Here are the best Trader Joe’s products –
I’ve talked about meal prep, getting prepared, freezer meals and more. But I haven’t really given specifics on a store… until now. Typically, I avoid Trader Joe’s because the parking is terrible (right!?) and it’s always crowded. However, there are so many good things there that I want to go more often. I’ll make my way early in the morning or late at night to avoid those crowds.
