If we could have our paychecks sent directly to Trader Joe's, we would. There are tons of unique (and delicious!) finds to be picked up at there that can't be found anywhere else. These groceries are not all that expensive, either, so there'd be plenty of cash left for the little things like, um, rent.

Here's a roundup of everything we bought from Trader Joe's this year.

1. Breakfast

Whether you like to start the day with a meal that's sweet or savory, hot or cold, or you have the time to cook in the morning or your routine requires an on-the-go solution, you'll find something in the Trader Joe's aisles that's just right for you.

2. Salads

There is never any shame in buying (and serving) a premade salad — especially one from Trader Joe's. The grocery store stocks tons of creative options that are always fresh, crunchy, and of course, convenient.

3. Foods that make our lives easier

In addition to those oh-so-convenient bagged salads, Trader Joe's has plenty of other shortcuts that will save you time and help you get dinner on the table. Always take the shortcut when you need to. Never feel bad about it.

4. Lunch box snacks

6. Salted butter

Produced in Brittany in the northwest of France, Trader Joe's cultured salted butter is European-style butter at its finest: slightly tangy from the active cultures, incredibly creamy due to slow churning, and flecked with sea salt.

7. Road trip snacks

We love a good road trip here at Kitchn. Or any kind of trip, actually. As long as there are snacks. Trader Joe's can help you be prepared on the road and abroad.

8. Wine

You already know about Two-Buck Chuck. Look beyond that budget bottle and you'll find ... more budget bottles, each one as good as the last.

9. Cauliflower Crust Cheese Pizza

In August, Trader Joe's launched a ready-to-bake gluten-free cheese pizza featuring a cauliflower crust. And we couldn't get enough of it.

10. Tiny, little baby avocados

11. Appetizers

It should come as no surprise that Trader Joe's also has an impressive lineup of appetizers that make for an "appy hour" spread. They're fast, yes, and they're all slight upgrades from what you'd usually serve.
