EVER wonder which Trader Joe’s products aren’t worth their hype?
One regular has all the answers, as well as the ones that are totally worth it.
A social media user by the name @laurensandiego_ is known as the “CEO of overrated, underrated, justified” for her honest reviews on popular grocery and beauty products.
As a regular Trader Joe’s shopper, she reviews items in her cart to help people decide which they should try, and which they should avoid.
She said her grocery haul from this video was a bit more basic than usual, but just couldn’t help herself from throwing in a few Valentine’s Day treats.
The first product she reviewed was the Mint Flavored Dog Treats for $2.99, and she declared them overrated.
Lauren claimed her dog didn’t like the treats and that they went stale after just 24 hours.
Next up was the Howling Gourds Pumpkin Ale.
A six-pack of the beer was on sale for just $1.99 and despite it not being fall, she still loves the pumpkin taste, rating this product as justified.
Finally, she rated the Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce as underrated.
Lauren said the sauce has a great taste and even combined her three favorite toppings into one.
The spread can be used for sandwiches, bagels, paninis, or any other way you’d like.
To prevent overbuying at your local Trader Joe’s, dietitian Olivia Ashton shared the fridge restocking method she uses to buy just the right amount of food.
“When you open your fridge and realize you have nothing in it, use this formula to restock,” Ashton explained in a TikTok that’s raked in over a million views.
She starts off by grabbing four proteins: greek yogurt, pork tenderloin, hard-boiled eggs, and frozen turkey burgers.
“One for breakfast, one for lunch and dinner, one for snacks, and a frozen option to keep on hand,” she explained.
Then she said to grab three different colored vegetables and added that they can be either fresh or frozen. Ashton opted for Brussel sprouts, baby carrots, and cauliflower.
Next, she added two ready-to-eat meals, which thankfully Trader Joe’s has a wide selection of.
She moved on to two sauces and dips and chose hummus and zhoug sauce. Ashton says to add the extra flavors “so you can mix things up and add variety.”
To finish off your Trader Joe’s haul, you’ll want to add one type of berry and one ready-to-eat carb such as bread.
At the end of your shopping trip, you should have 13 items to fully restock your fridge.
