They’re real bargains.

While they were all good, some weregreat.

So great, I hope they’re not seasonal and stick around on shelves for a good long while.

Here are the three best things I bought at Trader Joe’s this month.

These swirlsare a fun take on their frozen chocolate croissants, making them even easier to share.

These pastries are nicely flaky and buttery, but my favorite part?

They’re not too sweet.

The lovely boxincludes twenty tea bagsfor easy steeping.

I love tea, and for an off-the-shelf, extremely affordable bagged tea, it’s incredibly good.

It has less caffeine and more floral and citrusy notes.

Plus, the box is nice enough that it would make a lovely addition to a gift basket.

This is another great deal.

I especially appreciate that the box includes instructions for preparing the couscous in the microwave.

Use a little over half a cup of water and microwave for two minutes, then fluff and serve.
