Summary

Here comes summer! And Trader Joe’s is READY. There’s nothing summerier than watermelon, and we are wading in ‘em – the yellow variety, and the marshmallow variety. Have a listen, and this will make sense. A skincare set to give you a little summertime glow-up? Yes, please. A new Mini Sheet Cake? OMS – again, listen and ye shall understand. We have buns a-plenty, dogs for dressing, and did we mention an all-new mochi? Yes! Plus, a root beer float you can bring along in your backpack or purse. A noodle salad that will knock your socks off. And just the thing to add a finishing flourish to your sweltering-summer-day ice cream treat. Fourteen products in all, each and every one available this summer at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s.
