I walk to Trader Joe's each week.Zoe Yu

I'm a student without a car, so I walk about 30 minutes to get groceries at Trader Joe's each week.
I stick to a $30 budget and grab crunchy snacks like the chile-lime rolled-corn tortilla chips.

I live on a college campus, and the nearest Trader Joe's is a half-hour walk into town.

Rain or shine, sun or snow, I always make my monthly trek to stock up on snacks I can't live without.

Here are nine of my favorite things to get at Trader Joe's on a $30 budget.

Prices may vary by location.

When it comes to healthy snacks, mandarins are my fruit of choice.
