Price: $4.99

French bread's wider (and tastier) cousin just popped up in Trader Joe's bakery section. The dark chocolate and cocoa powder combo gives this new organic arrival a flavor you'll savor.

How should you serve this loaf? "Oui" recommend heating the delicious dessert in a 350-degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes and smothering it with Fleur de Del Caramel Sauce ($3.99).

Price: $2.49

These truly are the "star" of the show. The fan favorite is back for a limited time, and shoppers are already snapping up the sweet, but slightly salty gluten-free rice crisps.

When this seasonal selection disappeared last year, Redditor Accomplished_Big9919 lamented, "I'm obsessed with these and will probably never be able to get them again."

Price: $12.99

Turn your bathroom into a day spa and banish dry winter skin with this three-piece set. Made with golden seaweed, sea fennel, and algae extracts, the coastal sea salt and jasmine-scented trio includes a three-ounce bottle of nourishing body oil, a four–ounce tub of exfoliating scrub, and a dry brush.

Price: $4.49

Pumpkin and pecan pie season is over. If you're looking for a new dessert, pick up this Italian-inspired duo.

The vegan vanilla non-dairy frozen treats are more than just an alternative to ice cream. Each cup comes with instant coffee. Simply add the caffeinated blend, then mix in one ounce of hot water. It's that easy.

Price: $6.49

Fans of Trader Joe's Mini Chicken Tacos ($5.99) will enjoy this new addition. The yellow and white corn tortillas stuffed with savory garlic, oregano, paprika, onion, and cumin seasoned beef are the perfect pint-sized pick.

Snack on one of the tiny tacos or make the entire one-pound package for dinner. While you can heat these in the oven, we think the air fryer method (350 degrees for six to eight minutes) gives this petite pick a crispy crunch.

Price: $5.49

Breton for "cake" and "butter," this flaky, laminated dough pastry will remind you of a croissant. That is, if the gourmet goody folded itself into a quiche-like shape.

Get four of the sweet caramelized sugar-flavored breakfast (or brunch) treats for under $5.50 while you can. This new freezer section item is a limited-time buy.

Price: $6.99

Why buy boring cured meat when you could get uncured salami on a rope? Garlic seasoning gives the uncured pork a tangy taste that pairs perfectly with Trader Joe's Italian Truffle Cheese ($14.99).

Price: $4.49

Pass on pricey takeout. Chili peppers, jalapenos, and piquant spices give this budget-friendly bowl the perfect amount of heat. Add the Spanish-style jasmine rice and decadently dreamy queso, and you have a meal that rivals restaurant fare.

Price: $8.99

Save your sensitive skin and snag this 32-count pack of Trader Joe's new "free and clear" laundry sheets. Made with stain-fighting protease enzymes, these don't contain dyes, fragrances, phosphates, phthalates, or optical brighteners.

Instead of fumbling with heavy bottles of liquid detergent, just pop one of these sheets into the washer. Use the protease enzyme detergent with regular and high-efficiency machines.

Price: $8.99

Trader Joe's imports this sophisticated, slightly fruity olive oil from Crete. But don't worry, that doesn't make it more expensive. Score a 16.9-ounce bottle of this smooth EVOO for under $9 right now.

Price: $2.99

Satisfy your sweet tooth. Now that January is here, it's a wrap on candy canes and Christmas cookies. Enter Trader Joe's new clotted cream fudge. Nab this mouthwatering milky treat while it's still in stock.

Beware, you might not have the willpower to stop at one. Redditor purebitterness raved, "It's so good, I've devoured a box."

Price: $4.99

Add this everyday essential to your regular Trader Joe's shopping list. The frozen organic aromatic rice is an affordable option that's easy to make. Just microwave one of the 10-ounce pouches (you get three in each box) for three minutes.

Price: $3.99

The viral sweet treat is finally back in stock. There's a reason these crunchy kataifi, sweet pistachio cream, and rich chocolate bars sell out so quickly. If you spot the 3.52-ounce pack, snap it up ASAP.

Price: $2.99

Wake up to the warm, sweet smell of cinnamon. Instead of wasting time cooking from scratch, toast this new freezer find for a few minutes.

For $2.99, this eight-count is a steal. You'll pay $1 more for six of Eggo's Thick and Fluffy Cinnamon Brown Sugar Waffles at Target.

Don't wait to snag these new buys. While some of these January arrivals will stay on store shelves into the spring and summer, items like the iconic Sugared Stars and classic clotted cream fudge are limited-time finds that won't last long.
