Of all the new and seasonal items hitting shelves, these are the very best ones. Tip: Stock up now so that you have a supply once the weather turns cold again! 

When Life Gives You Lemons Make Ice Cream, $3.49

Think: lemon creamsicle with bits of nutty shortbread cookies. TJ’s truly made some proverbial lemonade here.

Synergistically Seasoned Popcorn, $2.29

This popcorn delivers a meal’s worth of flavor in one bite. The seasoning is so good, it should be bottled up.

Thai Banana Fritters, $3.79

These sweet street-food fritters made me feel like I was on a vacation in Thailand. Bonus: They’re vegan and gluten-free.

Incredisauce, $3.29

This sauce truly earns its name. It mimics a sauce from a fast-food favorite and is sweet, tangy, and smoky with a honey mustard base.

Gluten Free Double Chocolate Muffins, $4.99

These muffins are so decadent they could easily pass as a cupcake. Top with some frosting and you won’t be sorry.

Non-Dairy Oat Creamer with Brown Sugar, $1.99

This creamer transformed my homemade cold brew into a not-too-sweet Iced Oat Milk Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso.

Vegan Buffalo Dip, $3.49

The slow-build kick of cayenne in this is no joke, with just the right amount of tang from lime juice. A vegan version of a TJ’s classic.

Chimichurri Sauce, $3.49

Composed of fresh herbs, red wine vinegar, and plenty of olive oil, chimichurri sauce is classic paired with grilled steak.

Ranch Seasoning Blend, $2.99 

It’s perfect whipped into sour cream for a low-effort dip, obviously, but I can’t wait to add it to everything.
