The 16 Best Things To Buy at Trader Joe's This February

February might be the shortest month of the year, but it somehow manages to pack in some of the most snackable moments, which means it’s prime time for shopping at Trader Joe’s. Between Super Bowl Sunday, Valentine’s Day, and the general wintery desire to hibernate and eat something warm, cheesy, sweet (or all of the above), Trader Joe’s shelves are basically built for this time of year.

By the time we reach February, there is a fun little push-and-pull happening between indulgence and wellness—January already feels like a lifetime ago, and for some, New Year’s resolutions are already wearing thin.

Lucky for us, Trader Joe’s is leaning into both sides of the equation, catering to those who are still on their New Year’s wellness journeys and those who are already over it. February’s new and limited-time lineup hits that sweet spot between cozy and exciting, with everything from spicy pastas and bakery treats to frozen appetizers and sippable sodas that feel tailor-made for couch dinners, game-day spreads and midweek pick-me-ups.

So, what specific cozy and exciting Trader Joe’s products are we looking at, you may ask? If you’re looking for something on the richer side, there’s a creamy, gochujang-spiked Alfredo pasta and ultra-buttery morning buns. Craving something a bit lighter? Pick up some prebiotic sodas, whole-milk Greek yogurt or maybe some peeled fresh ginger (time-saver alert!) for smoothies or stirfries.

Add in some pink V-Day treats, like heart-shaped marshmallows and raspberry-studded muffins, and you’ve got a cart fit for February. Whether you’re cooking for someone you love, hosting friends for the big game or just looking to feed yourself something better than cereal for dinner, these new and seasonal TJ’s finds make February a month to love.

The 16 Best February Trader Joe’s Finds

1. Pizza Bianca

Trader Joe's

Do we need another pizza in our lives? The answer is always yes. TJ’s latest and greatest, Pizza Bianca skips the red sauce and instead opts for a creamy Parmesan base along with mozzarella, sharp Parmesan, onions and rosemary on a naturally risen crust. It bakes up cheesy and aromatic, making it great for a game-day snack, a dinner party app or a low-key movie night (or perhaps even for a Valentine’s date night).

The freezer find is a hit on Reddit, where people are using it as the base for their culinary creativity. “It’s really, really good. Added spicy salami, mushrooms and garlic to it. The sauce and the crust are excellent for a frozen pizza,” says one fan. “We had it topped with arugula and a drizzle of the balsamic glaze. It was very popular. Everyone loved the crust,” added another. Find it for $4.99 in the frozen section.

2. Spicy Alfredo Fusilloni Pasta

This Italian-Korean mashup combines fusilloni pasta (basically supersize fusilli) with a rich, ultra-creamy Alfredo sauce spiked with fermented gochujang for a savory, spicy kick. The sauce comes frozen in little pucks that melt into the pasta as it heats, creating a glossy, cohesive dish with big-spiral noodles that catch every bit of sauce. It’s comfort food with personality, ready in minutes. Find it in the freezer section for $4.79 for a 16-ounce bag.

3. Smoked Steelhead Trout

Milder and leaner than traditional smoked salmon, this Norwegian steelhead trout is sliced thick for a silky, almost sashimi-like texture and a gentle smoky flavor. It’s perfect on bagels with cream cheese and capers, tucked onto avocado toast, or layered into salads when you want something elegant without much effort. Find it for $5.49 for a 4-ounce package.

4. Strawberry Vanilla and Cherry Cola Prebiotic Soda

Sweet, fizzy, and lightly fruity, Trader Joe’s Strawberry Vanilla prebiotic soda is made with strawberry purée, apple cider vinegar and agave inulin for a gut-friendly boost. With just 4 grams of sugar per can, it’s refreshing on its own, over ice or dressed up with fresh strawberries and a sprig of basil. Meanwhile, the nostalgic-tasting Cherry Cola gets a modern upgrade with prebiotic fiber and just 5 grams of sugar per can. “I tried the strawberry vanilla one and loved it!” says one Instagrammer. Find either flavor for $1.99 per 12-ounce can.

5. Organic Peeled Ginger

Sometimes, Trader Joe’s drops a product so incredibly simple yet useful, it has us wondering how we’ve lived our whole lives without it. That’s exactly the case with TJ’s organic peeled ginger—it’s fresh, peeled ginger root that comes in vacuum-sealed, ready-to-use knobs. Perfect for smoothies, tea, stir-fries and sauces, these useful little knobs will make the fuss of peeling fresh ginger root a thing of the past. Each package stays fresh for up to 45 days unopened, making it one of those quietly useful fridge staples. Find it for $3.49 for a 4-ounce package.

6. Bird’s Eye Chile Hot Sauce

Hot sauce fanatics, rejoice! Fiery, subtly fruity and spicy-but-not-too-spicy, this piri-piri-style hot sauce packs a nice level of heat with a tangy vinegar balance, perfect for heating up those icy February blues. This product has been in stores for a bit, but we wanted to highlight it now because it’s a great way to level up your Super Bowl wings.

After the big game, there are plenty of other uses for it, too. It’s great on eggs, pizza, tacos, soups and pretty much anything that could use a jolt of spice. One Redditor dubbed it “my new breakfast sauce for sure.” Find it for $2.99 for a 4.22-fluid-ounce bottle.

7. Sliced Porridge Bread

Made with sourdough starter, oats, rye and a touch of honey and brown sugar, this loaf is soft, slightly sweet and sturdy enough for sandwiches. It’s just as good toasted with butter or with whipped feta as it is alongside a bowl of soup. “It’s incredible,” one Redditor declared. “I don’t usually like sourdough because of the crust texture, but this is simply the best.” Find it for $4.49 for a 17.6-ounce loaf.

8. Dark Chocolate Sticks with Crispy Rice

These dark chocolate sticks, which come studded with crispy rice for extra crunchy goodness, make for an ideal sweet-but-not-too-sweet snack.
