Trader Joe’s is packed with exciting finds this week—from bold snacks to summer-ready drinks and frozen favorites. Shoppers are raving, and shelves are clearing fast. Here’s what everyone’s grabbing right now.
Trader Joe’s Kanom Krok Thai Coconut Pancakes $3.29/6.35 Oz
Trader Joe’s $3 Khanom Krok Thai Coconut Pancakes are a hit — even the author’s Thai grandparents and extended family in South Florida bought out entire stocks in 2024.
This frozen treat, found in the freezer aisle, closely resembles the traditional Thai street food with its crispy shell and custardy coconut center. Made with ingredients like coconut milk, rice flour, and taro, it tastes authentic (though the term is used loosely on the label).
Easy to heat in the microwave or air fryer, it’s delicious on its own or topped with corn and coconut sugar. Just don’t wait too long — they sell out fast.
Trader Joe’s Large Insulated Tote Bag – Peach $7.99/1 Each
Trader Joe’s has launched a new insulated peach-colored tote bag for $7.99, and it’s already causing a frenzy.
Reminiscent of the original tote bag craze, fans are scrambling to find this summer-exclusive bag, which holds 8 gallons and features a zipper, thick strap, mesh pocket, and insulated lining—ideal for beach trips and BBQs. But it’s already sold out at many locations, prompting resellers to list it online for over $30—a 300% markup.
While there’s a mini lavender version available, it’s equally hard to track down. At this rate, scoring a TJ’s tote might be the hottest (and hardest) summer find.
Trader Joe’s Lemon Pesto Sauce $3.49/6.7 Oz
Trader Joe’s popular Lemon Pesto Sauce is finally back — and fans are racing to stock up.
This $3 seasonal jar blends sunflower seed oil, Grana Padano cheese, almonds, lemon zest, and spices for a tangy, cheesy pesto perfect for summer. It’s thick, spreadable, and pairs beautifully with pasta, gnocchi, shrimp, chicken, and even pizza. Shoppers are calling it “so good and easy,” with one Reddit user rating it 9/10.
Whether used as a marinade, tossed with spaghetti, or slathered on garlic bread, this returning favorite is a must-grab before it disappears from shelves again.
Trader Joe’s Okonomiyaki Japanese Vegetable Pancake $4.99/10.2 Oz
Trader Joe’s new Okonomiyaki—aka Japanese Vegetable Pancake—is a frozen twist on a popular Japanese street food.
Made with cabbage, yam, and green onions, it’s paired with sweet-savory okonomi sauce and tuna flakes for topping. The pancake cooks up crispy outside and tender inside, making it filling but not too heavy. While the base is a bit bland, the sauce and tuna flakes elevate the flavor with rich umami.
It’s a convenient intro for first-timers, though purists may find it lacks the customizability of traditional versions. Still, it’s a solid, satisfying pick from Trader Joe’s growing international lineup.
Trader Joe’s Sweet & Spicy Rice Cracker Mix $2.49/8 Oz
Trader Joe’s new Sweet & Spicy Rice Cracker Mix is quickly becoming a fan favorite, with some shoppers saying they can hardly stop eating it.
The gluten-free snack features a variety of crunchy rice crackers—some sweet and sugar-coated, others spiced with chile and paprika—for a bold flavor combo. Fans are loving the balance of sweet and heat, calling it “so good” and “obsessive.” While one shopper found it a bit too spicy, most agree it’s a must-try.
Packed with texture and flavor, this addictive new mix is giving TJ’s classic Rice Cracker Medley a serious run for its money.
Trader Joe’s Root Beer Float Pieces $3.79/7 Oz
Trader Joe’s latest limited-time treat has fans buzzing: Root Beer Float Pieces, a quirky sweet featuring vanilla sandwich cookie bits with popping candy, all coated in root beer-flavored confectionery.
The unusual combo has sparked major curiosity, with shoppers calling it “so intriguing” and “YUM.” Even those who usually dislike root beer admit they’re tempted to try it. If you’re craving something nostalgic, fizzy, and fun, this might be your next must-try TJ’s snack.
Trader Joe’s Organic Margarita Mix $3.99/32 Fl Oz
Trader Joe’s new Organic Margarita Mix is the star of a refreshing, 3-ingredient summer cocktail fans are sipping all season.
Made with real lime juice, agave, and a hint of salt, the $3.99 mix is surprisingly clean and not overly sweet—perfect for more than just margaritas. The go-to drink? A summer highball combining bourbon (or whiskey), margarita mix, and lemon sparkling water. It’s fruity, fizzy, not too boozy, and totally easy to make. Garnish with a lemon or lime wedge and enjoy.
Bonus: you can swap in tequila or vodka if preferred. Happy hour just got a major upgrade, Trader Joe’s style.
