The Best New Trader Joe's Products Under $5 This August

Including a new twist on a fan-favorite product and a super melty cheese.

Wandering the aisles of Trader Joe’s this summer has been overwhelming in the best way. Everywhere you look, there’s something new and exciting to try, and TJ's has been bringing in flavors for globally-inspired grilling, sweet treats, and even worth-turning-on-the-oven-for easy baking. August brings some great snacks, a savory sprinkle, and more—all for $5 or less. Check ‘em out before summer ends!

Ranch-Seasoned Cashews, $3.99

If you had to choose between ranch seasoning and everything seasoning, which would you go for? TJ's is betting on ranch lovers picking the herby, zesty, and creamy (thanks to powdered sour cream and buttermilk) cashews for eating by the handful, mixing into a snack or trail mix, or even topping salads with ranch cashew “croutons”.

Everything But the Kitchen Sink Cookie Mix, $4.49

Apparently, Trader Joe’s kitchen sink is full of delightful cookie mix-ins like chocolate chunks, oats, walnuts, coconut flakes, caramel bits, and mini pretzels. This cookie mix contains the lot, and all you need to bake up a batch is a stick of butter and an egg. Try them with a scoop of ice cream for a DIY ice cream sandwich.

Crunchy Chili Onion Sprinkle Seasoning Blend, $1.99

Fans of Crunchy Chili Onion (aka TJ's version of chili crisp) will love this sprinkle-able version made with crispy onions and garlic, dried bell peppers, chili pepper flakes, dried Szechuan pepper, and a hint of brown sugar to balance things out. I have been loving it as an easy finishing flourish on avocado toast, sandwiches, salads, eggs, and any protein or veggie.

Chicken Sausage Breakfast Bowl, $4.29

Need breakfast in 3 minutes? This frozen bowl of herby chicken sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese will be your morning hero. For bonus points, grab some tortillas and wrap it up into breakfast tacos or a breakfast burrito along with some salsa or hot sauce.

Sliced Black Truffle Monterey Jack Cheese, $4.99

Your grilled cheese is about to get an upgrade. Monterey Jack cheese is a mild, melty cheese, and this version of studded with black summer truffles. But the truffle flavor is doubled down on because there’s truffle juice inside the cheese, giving it a gentle truffle flavor throughout, not just when you bite into a speckle of truffle! This would be great on a charcuterie board, too.
