I take a 40-minute bus trip to Trader Joe's every week to do my grocery shopping.
Crispy jalapeño pieces, Japanese-style fried rice, and onions are some of the items I like to buy.

Every Saturday, I brave a 40-minute bus ride to Trader Joe's, where my partner and I shop weekly.

Like many Americans, we both work from home, so it's important we have quick and easy bites to get us through the day.

Here are 12 items that always make it into my shopping cart at Trader Joe's.
