Trader Joe’s is a staple, go-to stop for groceries and on-the-go snacks for many students here on campus.
With the number of times I’ve seen people coming back to the dorms with those brown and red paper bags filled with all kinds of scrumptious goods, I began to wonder… What are The Master’s University students’ favorite snacks to get on a Trader Joe’s run?
In case you’re looking for inspiration to try a new snack or revisit a favorite oldie during your next grocery trip at Trader Joe’s, here are students’ top three favorite ones to recommend (based on a poll of 56 students):
#1. Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips
This Takis dupe was by far the most dominating response from students and is probably one of Trader Joe’s best-known snacks. When describing it, people mentioned its almost dangerously addictive quality that keeps them reaching for another spicy tortilla chip again and again.
#2. World’s Puffiest White Cheddar Corn Puffs
Though not as overwhelming in responses as the Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips, this mild, yet savory puffy snack is great for those times when you feel like mindlessly munching on something quick yet satisfying.
#3. Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets
This crunchy and salty snack can surprisingly hold your hunger over for a little bit. Filled with a dollop of peanut butter in the center, these nuggets mash a favorite snack combo into one and take the bronze medal in the overall ranking for TMU students’ favorite Trader Joe’s snacks.
