Tired of the same old Trader Joe's snacks? Shake it up with exciting new sweets and snacking treats at the beloved grocery chain known for its delicious food and low prices. The grocery store maintains those low prices by releasing many products under its own private label and cutting out the go-betweens.

Like Aldi, they also stock fewer items but all of high quality, so shoppers don't suffer buyer's remorse after munching on newly purchased wares.

The rising cost of grocery shopping has left many families altering their grocery routines and habits to tackle the high costs. Many are incorporating Trader Joe's into their routine grocery shopping to maximize their budgets without sacrificing quality or deliciousness. See the new products we can't wait to try at Trader Joe's.

Milk Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears

Chocolate-covered gummies may sound strange, but they are actually the perfect combination of sweets. If you like both chocolate and gummy bears, don't skip over these Swedish delicacies, which are difficult to find outside of specialty candy shops.

Crunchy Jicama Slaw

Price: $4.99

Jicama is like a Mexican turnip that can be eaten raw and has a sweet, starchy flavor. If you love trying new international foods, you'll want to try this unique salad with a jicama "noodle" base topped with carrots, radishes, cucumbers, red peppers, and cilantro. They don't skimp on the cilantro, either, so this is a great salad for people who don't typically like salads.

Pizza Seasoned Crackers

Price: $2.49

Remember Pizzeria Pizza Chips? They were the most successful snack food launch in Keebler history, yet were discontinued just a few short years later — and they haunt '90s kids to this day. The most popular pizza snack was never resurrected. However, Trader Joe's new Pizza Seasoned Crackers may just fill that gaping hole in your heart.

Bottom line

Nobody likes eating the same foods daily, and Trader Joe's is a great place to shake up your food routine with new things to try. Shopping in stores allows shoppers to sample many new items, which is great for picky eaters.

The affordable prices also make trying new foods a low commitment for those on a tight budget. If you're already doing everything you can to stretch your budget, trying new foods can be risky because you're committed to eating them until your next paycheck — but Trader Joe's eliminates that worry with quality food that won't make your wallet cry.
