The Best Deals At Trader Joe’s
1. Roti with Thai Red Curry for $4.29
Roti Canai is served with a tasty Thai-style red curry with a Southeast Asian taste, which you can find at Trader Joe’s. The flaky layers of roti (Indian flatbread) in this recipe are great for soaking up the veggie curry. Coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, eggplant, cabbage, and potatoes are used to make the meal.
Each box contains three rotis. Heat them in a pan, air fryer, or oven for a crispy, golden outside. Since the curry is quick and easy to make, it’s an excellent choice for busy weeknights.
Eating it as a light meal is OK, but you can pair it with rice or protein for more food. This food costs less than $5 and has a great mix of spice, sweetness, and texture, making it stand out this season.
2. Boules de sourdough – $2.99
Trader Joe’s Sourdough Boules are the perfect warm bread bowls to accompany soup. For just $2.99, these round loaves are cheap enough to use as bread bowls or eat by themselves. Each boule weighs 7 ounces and is chewy inside and crisp outside, especially when toasted.
You can eat these boules with any soup, but TJ’s Unexpected Cheddar Broccoli Soup is the best fall soup to pair with them. Remove the soft middle bread and use it as croutons. This is a great meal for cold days that will fill you up.
3. Nuts About Elote Mix – $4.49
This October, Trader Joe’s Nuts About Elote Mix is a must-try for snack lovers. With roasted cashews, pepitas, pretzel sticks, and crispy puffed corn kernels, this $4.49 snack mix tastes like popped Mexican street corn.
The mix is covered in a seasoning blend that tastes like TJ’s famous Everything But The Elote Seasoning Blend. It is peppery, slightly hot, and sour. You can eat it as a snack on its own or add it to soups or salads for a crunchy touch.
4. Italian Lasagna with Butternut Squash For $4.49
Get Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Italian Lasagna for $4.49 for a quick and tasty dinner. This perennial favorite is a rich and creamy dish that can be made in the microwave for 4 to 5 minutes or in the oven for 45 minutes for a crispier top.
The lasagna has spicy béchamel sauce on top of fresh pasta layers. The sauce is smooth and made from butternut squash, carrots, rosemary, pepper, and ginger.
Thanks to the smoked Provola cheese, it has a unique taste that will please everyone. First, heat the lasagna in the microwave, and then bake it for an extra 5 to 10 minutes in the oven. This will make the top extra crispy.
5. Wheat Crisp Crackers: $2.49
Prices at Trader Joe’s start at $2.49 for Wheat Crisp Crackers, which are like Wheat Thins but with a twist. Because these crackers aren’t as salty as the original brand, the sweetness of the wheat can stand out.
They’re great on their own with a slice of cheddar cheese, smoked meats, or your favorite jam. You can snack on these crackers or assemble a cheese board for guests. They’re a useful thing to have in your kitchen.
6. Peanut dressing in the Thai style – $3.99
Trader Joe’s now sells a big bottle of Thai-style peanut Dressing for $3.99. This is excellent news for people who like the crunchy Jicama slaw. This spicy-sweet dressing can be used for more than just topping salad. It’s thick enough to marinate meats, dip summer rolls in, or use as a sauce for noodles.
This versatile dressing can make any food taste better. It has a rich, nutty flavor with a bit of tang. This dressing is a quick and easy way to improve food taste. It will become a kitchen favorite.
