One of our local Trader Joe’s stores.
Trader Joe’s announced the winners of its 15th Annual Customer Choice Awards on January 22nd, 2024. Every year, the grocer, which is a distant cousin to Aldi, asks its customers to share what their favorite products are in a variety of categories ranging from cheese and beverages to lunch items to bath and body products.
The overall winner once again this year is Trader Joe’s Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips, which are like a TJ’s version of name-brand Takis and which also took first place in Trader Joe’s 2023 Annual Customer Choice Awards.
Other notable winners in 2024 include apple cider, goat cheese, creamy spinach and artichoke dip, and more. Browsing the full list can be a great way to get ideas for your shopping list for your next Trader Joe’s run.
And as always, you can view previous years’ winners such as TJ’s Mandarin Orange Chicken and TJ’s Unexpected Cheddar in the Trader Joe’s Product Hall of Fame.
