Thank you for asking this question on my very favorite topic. Here are the things I always buy: tempting trail mix, handful of almonds individual bags, avocado's number one guac to go, everything but the bagel seasoning, frozen garlic cubes (!), shredded kale (love the level of shred), choc chip ice cream sandwiches, frozen meatballs (turkey/beef), frozen chile lime chicken burgers, various frozen pizzas (BBQ chicken, ham/onion, mini pepperoni), sweet potato ribbons, sunscreen, face lotion for DH (cheap but decent), almond granola, flowers flowers flowers - so cheap and they last.
OK, let's see. Cocktail/party mini meatballs, chocolate dipped chocolate mini ice cream cones, bags of frozen rice (jasmine), terriyaki turkey jerkey, port salut cheese, fig and olive crisps (crackers), pita bite crackers, really any cheese there, lots of good bread/roll options, sweet thai chili sauce. Also, just google 'best trader joe's items' and you'll see some best sellers.
The dried fruit--almost all varieties are just safe. The Asian dumplings, the frozen Indian meals, frozen croissants, chili crisp, jerky, snap peas, zhoug, truffle crispy cheese bites.
I haven't been to Trader Joe's in ages due to my reluctance to go into supermarkets - even though I was going through April and was pleased with how Trader Joe's handled Covid, I ended up getting it bad, lol. : (
I didn't want to enter a store until there was a vaccine after that. I didn't know if I could catch Covid again, and I didn't want to risk it as a single mom to my lovely daughter!
So I've had delivery since then. And Trader Joe's doesn't deliver. And I was sad!
So I was PUMPED when I found out that I could get delivery through the Dumpling app. You hire a freelance shopper through the app, and they'll go to Trader Joe's for you (and many other stores in your area). The app has an exhaustive list of Trader Joe's items, but if something new pops up, you can just add it into the app. You communicate with your shopper directly at all times. Awesome, awesome, awesome for people like me who will not step into stores until they're vaccinated.
Anyway, just wanted to share. Dumpling shoppers are amazing. That's all!
The produce is really hit or miss. If you aren't going to eat it within 24 hours, don't bother getting it. My kids like the spinach tortellini, nut-free Fiber granola bars (good to take to school), Just a Handful trail mixes, dried Just Mango, peanut butter filled pretzels, turkey bacon, cheddar rockets, ramen cups (so cheap), pork potstickers, frozen salted edemame, vegetable fried rice.... so many things
I haven't been in a very long time, but I love the Coconut Body Butter.
Cauliflower everything
Cookies!
Steamed pork and ginger dumplings are good. Hand cream and sunscreen. Nuts, cheeses. Soyaki sauce. Also agree with others about sweets, cookies etc
Roasted unsalted almonds. the flavored baby yogurts, kids are 5 and 7 and they’re obsessed with them. Orchids. Teeny tiny avocados.

1. Coconut body butter
2. Formula No 3 All for One, One for All wash — smells like something from Aveda. I use it on the kids.
3. Pumpkin pancake mix
4. Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s
5. Chocolate Covered Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s!
6. The holiday gingerbread house, turkey, haunted house, etc. And the advent calendar. Kids love them and they’re cheap and festive.
7. Spices: 21 Seasoning Salute, Everything but the Bagel, Umami seasoning

I didn't realize they had chili crisp! I also love Bamba, which is hard to find elsewhere. Will have to make a pilgrimage soon.
