One of the reasons Trader Joe's is such a cult favorite is that it boasts a revolving inventory of seasonal goods. Come fall, you can scoop up pumpkin flavored (or scented) just about anything and in the winter time the holiday cookie varieties are seemingly endless. And the fact that such items are around for a limited time only makes them all the more coveted, so when it comes to the best of Trader Joe's summer products, you should probably consider stocking up soon or you'll have to wait another year.

In introducing new, seasonal products, TJ's always takes into consideration to the ingredients, flavors, and even feelings that you most associate with that time of year — in this case, stone fruit, berries, watermelon, and even pickle, for example — and puts them front and center. And that doesn't just go for the food; the grocery store's beloved beauty products have also gotten in on the summer goodness (think facial mists spiked with watermelon or a cooling peppermint shampoo bar).

Of course, if you're looking for cool treats, beverages, snacks, or essentials for creating the perfect summer salads (ideal for dining solo on your patio or enjoying an al fresco socially distanced dinner) there are plenty of those, too, from a sparkling tea which mixes beautifully with booze for the easiest cocktail to a spicy dressing that will instantly liven up lettuce. For more of the season's best additions, read ahead — and if you see something you like, you might want to shop soon, as it might already be on its way out to make room for all the upcoming fall goodies.
