Pass on pricey barista blends and save money on this medium roast from Trader Joe’s. The 100% Arabica whole bean coffee is a true value. Compare TJ’s under-$5 price for the 14-ounce bag to $8.99 for 10 ounces of Starbucks Holiday Blend Medium Roast at Target.

Stock up on one of the best baking supplies you’ll find this winter. Trader Joe’s caramel sea salt chips have a sweet, buttery taste that will add a decadent layer of richness to everything from pancakes and waffles to chocolate cookies.

Redditor sizzlinsunshine praised the pick, “Perfect in blondies, but I also like them melted and whipped into pastry cream or frosting…My store was stocked up so I grabbed three. One to bake with right away, one to use later, and one to eat straight from the bag.”

Price: $1.99

Swap sugary soda for this healthier beverage. The probiotic blend features Bacillus coagulans cultures to keep your immunity and digestion on track. Drink the ginger, lemon, and apple juice concentrate juice mix as-is or use it to make a sparkling mocktail.

At $1.99 for 12 ounces, TJ’s probiotic pick is a better deal than what you might find elsewhere. Whole Foods Market sells the same size can of Wildwonder Peach-Ginger Probiotic Sparkling Drink for $3.99.

Pair these party-ready crackers with fresh sliced figs, hummus, or your favorite cheese. And bonus, these nut and seed-based squares are gluten and dairy-free. 

Redditor beachyblue2 compared this vegan pick to another popular (non-vegan) cracker, “My new favorite snack! Being gluten-free, I’ve missed Cheez-Its so much and these are exactly like how I remember Cheez-Its Tatsing.”

Price: $2.99

Bake cookies, sprinkle these nuts on a green salad, or blend them into a homemade parfait. You’ll get eight ounces for $2.99 right now. The same size bag from Whole Foods Market’s 365 store brand costs $3 more ($5.99).

Mix this EVOO into marinades and dressings, or use it as a dipping sauce. At $8.99 for 16.9 ounces, this is a steal of a deal. Fresh Market sells the 12.7-ounce bottle of Cobrum Estate 100 Percent California Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil for $17.39.

I’m seriously debating picking up like 20 bags, so I don’t have to wait until next winter to get my hands on it.”
