5 Amazing Trader Joe's Products You Have to Try in August 2023

In July, food prices rose 3.6% on an annual basis, per last month's Consumer Price Index. That's why it helps to have a source of affordable groceries in your area. And if you're lucky, there's a Trader Joe's nearby that fits that bill. Here are some great products you'll find in the store this month. And the best part? None will result in a particularly high credit card bill.

1. Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce

If you ever watch TV cooking competitions, you'll often find that professional chefs are quick to whip up an aioli. But if that's not in your wheelhouse, you can outsource yours to Trader Joe's. This creation isn't overwhelmingly mustard-forward, so you'll get some tang and bite without too much sharpness. Spread it on a sandwich and you've got yourself a gourmet lunch. A nine-ounce jar will cost you just $2.79.

2. Dairy-Free Mozzarella Style Shreds

Who says a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance has to stop you from enjoying pizza? You may need to make it yourself, but this dairy-free, vegan mozzarella from Trader Joe's can help. You can sprinkle it not just on pizza, but on salads and pasta as well. Or, buy some eggs (or egg substitutes) and whip up a delicious breakfast scramble. You'll pay $3.99 for a seven-ounce bag.

3. PB&C Snack Duo

School will be back in session any day now. And depending on where you live, it may be back already. If you want to mix things up on the snack front, pick up this Trader Joe's find. It features individual packs of cocoa wafer sticks and yummy peanut butter dipping sauce. You'll spend $3.99 for a 12.7-ounce box that contains six individual portions.

4. S'Mores Ice Cream

Some of us want to eke out every last minute of summer. And what better way to enjoy the lingering warm weather than to indulge in some s'mores-flavored ice cream? This Trader's Joe's creation will make you feel like you're at a campfire -- only without the skewers and mess. You may even want to buy a second container to revisit summer later on in the year, when the weather is cold and you start to miss those lazy days at the beach. A pint of s'mores ice cream will cost you $3.79.

5. Organic Cacio e Pepe Puffs

Cacio e pepe is an Italian restaurant classic. There's just something about the simplicity of sharp cheese and black pepper that makes for a truly delicious meal. If you can't get out to your favorite local restaurant this month, you can bring the same flavor home with these cacio e pepe puffs. Think of them as a really sophisticated cheese curl -- one you can perhaps keep away from your kids. A 4.9-ounce bag costs $2.49.

Trader Joe's does a great job of consistently introducing new products. But some of these items may be gone before you know it. So if they sound appealing to you, head over to your local Trader Joe's before they fly off the shelves.
