Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
Trader Joe's Cookies 'n Cream Sheet Cake
Price: $5.99
The retailer's iconic sheet cakes are fan favorites, but this pick has a twist. A decadent crumble of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, indulgent vanilla cake, and dreamy cream cheese frosting make this one of the most delicious desserts in the bakery section.
Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Mini Heart Cookies
Price: $4.99
Trader Joe's fans will recognize this returning Valentine's Day treat. The sweet mini heart shortbread cookies feature a delectable dark chocolate coating and a spritz of candy sprinkles.
Beware…it's not easy to stop at one. Take it from Redditor powderpoff6, "These are so good. The shortbread is crisp and flaky…Clearly an easy cookie to eat 100 of in one sitting."
Trader Joe's Kaamte Gouda Cheese
Price: $13.49 per pound
Cheese connoisseurs need to grab this gourmet Gouda before it's gone. Aged seven to 10 months, this February find has a subtle nutty flavor and a rich, almost creamy texture that makes it a snacking sensation.
Pair thick slices with apples, pears, Trader Joe's Fig Butter ($2.99), Sourdough Bread ($3.49), or Wheat Crisp Crackers ($2.49).
Trader Joe's Marula Oil Cream Cleanser
Price: $6.99
Make your dry winter skin happy with this creamy cleanser.
Gently wipe away your day (and any leftover makeup) without overspending on a pricey brand-name buy. Compare $6.99 for five ounces from Trader Joe's private label line to $36 for the same size tube of Drunk Elephant's Mello Marula Cream Cleanser at Sephora.
Trader Joe's Onion Flowers
Price: $5.49
Amp up your app game with this savory, battered, deep-fried starter. Shoppers are already obsessed with this new item. Redditor mel-aria gushed, "Onion flowers are a 10/10 in the air fryer."
Trader Joe's Pizza Bianca
Price: $4.99
You won't be able to resist this parm-packed pizza. Forget about the red sauce. This pie doesn't have it. Instead, the savory selection features a mouthwatering blend of Parmesan, mozzarella, rosemary, and onions.
What do shoppers think? Reddit user maxny23 raved, "It was divine. Cheesy, oozy, and garlicky."
Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Marshmallow Hearts
Price: $4.49
We absolutely adore these Valentine's Day treats. Who wouldn't fall in love with strawberry-flavored marshmallows lavishly coated in sumptuous milk chocolate? And bonus, the adorable heart shape makes this confection one of the cutest candies in the store.
Trader Joe's Raspberry Oat Bites
Price: $3.99
Breakfast just got better. If you're in a hurry and don't have time to eat, simply grab one of these surprisingly filling tiny treats.
These small (but mighty) raspberry-stuffed bites are a hearty alternative to overly sweet cereal bars. Toss one of the individually wrapped snacks into your gym bag, purse, or travel tote for instant energy.
Trader Joe's Porridge Bread
Price: $4.49
Instead of the same loaf you always buy, try this new bakery buy. The porridge-esque pick features rolled oats, rye flour, wheat flour, brown sugar, and a touch of honey.
Use the thick slices to make a grown-up gourmet grilled cheese or pair a piece with your favorite soup.

Trader Joe's Gummy X's and O's
Price: $3.49
The cult classic is back. Whether you nab a pack every year or this is your first time trying the soft and chewy candy, don't wait to stock up on the sweet treat. Reddit user PotatoRoyale8's story is a cautionary tale: "So sad, I went to three Trader Joe's in my area, and no one had these! Their gummies are so good."
Trader Joe's Morning Buns
Price: $4.99
What do you get when you mix Trader Joe's buttery, flaky croissant dough with cinnamon, brown sugar, and orange zest? The answer is these magnificent morning buns. This freezer section find is an easy-to-make addition to a Valentine's Day breakfast or spring holiday brunch buffet.
Trader Joe's Ricotta Cuoricini Ravioli Hearts
Price: $3.99
Say "I love you" with the perfect pasta meal. Trader Joe's iconic ricotta-stuffed ravioli is back in stock for a limited time.

Trader Joe's Mini Dark Chocolate Biscuit Cookies
Price: $3.49
Valentine's Day goodies aren't the only new treats at Trader Joe's. The retailer recently stocked these magnificent minis.
Tip: Pair the dark chocolate biscuit cookies with the store's Organic Hot Cocoa ($4.29) or dip them into a cup of your favorite flavored coffee.
Trader Joe's Clementine Foaming Hand Soap
Price: $2.99
This sweet citrus scent will make you forget about the winter weather. And of course, the cleansing foam will wash away those nasty cold and flu germs.
Get eight ounces for under $3. Bath & Body Works sells an eight-ounce pump of the brand's Pink Clementine Cleansing Gel Hand Soap for more than twice the price ($7.95).
