The Blogifam’s All-Time Favorite Trader Joe’s Picks
Trader Joe’s announced their 14th Annual Customer Choice Awards winners this week, and after noticing several of our favorite items were missing (rude), we decided to have our own little Blogilates Team Trader Joe’s Customer Choice Awards.
Maybe we need to work on the name of our version if we decide to make this an annual thing. And if you’re wondering, my vote is that we absolutely should. IMO, revealing the best Trader Joe’s items was more exciting than watching the Oscars.
Anyways, here are our picks for the best Trader Joe’s items in a random set of categories.
I was surprised to see how much our list differed from the official Trader Joe’s awards. Let us know in the comments if you agree with our picks, or if you side more with TJs. Promise you won’t hurt our feelings.

I was very tempted when I first saw those mac and cheese pieces today. Next time, I’ll have to grab them.
