12 Exciting New Trader Joe’s Items Rolling Out This April

Trader Joe's is not a traditional grocery store, which is a big part of its appeal. Whether you're looking for cold-pressed juice, seasonal florals, unique snacks from across the world, or a block of cheese, you can find it all at your local TJ's.

The store's constant cycle of new releases is quite impressive, so we rounded up the best items you'll find on shelves this April. These Trader Joe's shopping hacks will save you big bucks on all your soon-to-be Springtime favorites.

Price: $2.99

One of the best parts of shopping at Trader Joe's is the store's affordable flowers, and this bunch of daffodils is the perfect example. The seasonal yellow blooms will blossom after you trim the ends, put them in water, and place them in indirect sunlight.

This big bunch includes 20 stems for $2.99, whereas a ten-stem bunch goes for about the same price at King Soopers.

Price: $3.49

This tub of mashed Hass avocados is flavored with lemon and sea salt, saving you some time and effort in the kitchen. Whether topping tacos or spreading on avocado toast, there's no need to wait for these avocados to ripen (or miss the ripeness window and end up with a pile of unusable mush). 

The 8-ounce container is $3.49, which is $2 less than a four-pack of Good Foods Avocado Mash totaling 8 ounces at Target.

Price: $3.99

If you have tooth sensitivity or want to whiten your smile, pick up a tube of Trader Joe's new toothpaste. The peppermint-flavored toothpaste contains potassium nitrate, hydrated silica, xylitol, and fluoride — although the store also sells a fluoride-free version. 

These ingredients remove stains, prevent plaque buildup, and reduce discomfort while brushing.

At $3.99 for a 6-ounce tube, TJ's toothpaste is much more affordable than name brands like Crest Pro-Health Sensitive and Gum Toothpaste, which is $8.99 for 4.8 ounces at Target.

Price: $4.49

Whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this simple, fresh burrito will hit the spot. The soft flour tortilla is stuffed with ground beef, pinto beans, cheddar cheese, and onions. It's easy to heat in the microwave or oven, and it costs less than $4.50, making it a filling, affordable lunch.

Counter sells a comparable Beefy Queso Burrito for $4.29 at Target, but it's 1 ounce less than the TJ's version and frozen instead of fresh.

Price: $12.99

I look forward to the return of Trader Joe's Monstera plants every year because they're such a steal. The beautiful tropical plant, known for its Swiss cheese-looking leaves, sells for $35 at Walmart. Yet, Trader Joe's prices its substantial Monsteras for just $12.99.

Monsteras are relatively easy to care for, especially when you buy a plant as healthy as the ones from TJ's. They require indirect light and a flexible watering schedule.

Price: $3.99

With a rich chocolate flavor and a delicious hint of coffee, this new granola tastes more like candy than breakfast food. (That said, I have finished a whole bag already.) The granola is primarily made with oats and has 260 calories, 5 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fiber per serving.

Whether eating with milk or on top of a smoothie bowl, the 12-ounce bag is a must-try for $3.99. That's 50 cents less than Good & Gathers's 12-ounce bag of Double Chocolate Chunk Granola at Target.

Price: $4.99

If you've never checked out Trader Joe's collection of unique, delicious juices, this is the month to start. This April, you'll find a 15.2-ounce bottle of Organic Turmeric Twist — you can't miss the vibrant orange color. 

The cold-pressed juice is made with orange, carrot, ginger, turmeric, lemon, and apple juice. Each bottle contains one serving at 180 calories for $4.99.

Price: $2.69

Trader Joe's has a mini addition to its vast cookie selection in this small package of nocciolini cookies, a small Italian hazelnut-flavored meringue cookie. The crunchy, nutty confections are easy to eat by the handful, which is why a serving is roughly 40 cookies.

You may have trouble finding this delicious dessert at other grocery stores, which is just one reason why the $2.69 price tag is such a steal.

Price: $6.99

Help your skin recover from the dryness of winter with Trader Joe's Ultra Rich Body Butter. The thick lotion has a floral vanilla scent and is made with moisturizing shea butter, coconut oil, and hyaluronic acid.

The 8-ounce tub is a limited edition product that costs $6.99 — only 87 cents per ounce. In comparison, Tree Hut sells a Vanilla Whipped Shea Body Butter at Target in about the same size for $2 more.

Price: $6.59

A highlight of any Trader Joe's trip is the store's extensive cheese section, filled with imported cheeses and in-house options. This tub of grated parmesan cheese with a truffle twist is new on the shelves. The umami truffle flavor makes the cheese an excellent topping for savory dishes like mashed potatoes.

It's only available for a limited time and costs $10.99 per pound or about $6.59 per 0.6-pound container. Truffle is a notoriously expensive ingredient, but this Trader Joe's cheese still manages to be cheaper per ounce than the Good & Gather grated parm at Target.

Price: $6.99

Available in pink, orange, red, and yellow, Trader Joe's tulips are a yearly item that appears in stores around April. 

Like the daffodils, these tulips may take a day or two to open up. Each bouquet is priced at $6.99 with 10 stems in a bunch. Meanwhile, a 10-stem bunch of tulips at King Soopers costs $8.

Price: $2.99

When you start to lather on the SPF this spring, don't forget about your lips. This lip balm from TJ's is not only moisturizing but also offers SPF 30 sun protection. The beeswax-based balm features vitamin E for hydration and a light citrus scent.

It's $2.99 for the 0.17-ounce tube, which is cheaper than a two-pack of Aquaphor's 17-ounce Lip Repair Stick + Sunscreen that sells for $8.39 at Target.

A lot of Trader Joe's items, including its newest releases, are more affordable than other stores, which is why it's a great place to save money on groceries. Whether you're looking for an easy weeknight meal or a beautiful bouquet to gift a loved one, these new April finds are a fun way to mix up your shopping list.

The inventory at each Trader Joe's location will vary, but keep an eye out for displays at the front of the store or on endcaps for new and seasonal products.
