Pre-Save This Healthy Grocery List We Made For The *Easiest* Target Run Of Your Life

Organic Apple Banana Fruit Sauce Crushers

This banana-flavored applesauce blends organic banana puree with organic apple puree and juice for an uber-refreshing break during the day. They're great to bring along camping, hiking, and road tripping!

Pink Lady Apple Chips

These apple chips from TJ's are simply immaculate, no matter your diet. They have a slight dusting of cinnamon sugar to make 'em feel extra special!

Chile Seasoned Dried Mango

This allergen-free snack is both sweet and spicy – just the way we like it!

Avocado Mash

Made with just avocado, lemon juice, and salt, this pre-made mash spreads supremely well on gluten-free breads and so much more for a savory snack!

Crunchy Pops

This "lightweight blend" of potato starch, pea flour, and corn flour shaped into tiny bites is an excellent way to add some crunch to your meals, whether it's alongside a sammie or on top of soup.

Freeze Dried Tart Cherries

These freeze-dried tart cherries definitely bring on all things sour, and make a great all-natural alternative to sour candies that may contain allergens. They're also wildly versatile for yogurt bowls, cereals, and baked goodies!

Piquant Popcorn

Formulated with a "pleasant pop of umami," this puffed popcorn goes down the hatch super easily for movie nights at home.

Oat Chocolate Bars with Crispy Rice & Cocoa Nibs

These lil' bars of chocolate are certifiably dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher – so you can still get your dessert fix!

Plantain Chips

These crunchy chips boast just three ingredients to keep your snackin' simple!

Vegetable Root Chips

Made with a mix of sweet potato, cassava, and taro chips, each bite of this delicious savory snack keeps you on your toes.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

If I don't have these stocked in my pantry, something is wrong. These tiny dollops of sweet peanut butter encased in the ideal amount of smooth dark chocolate are downright addicting. They're super easy to snack on thanks to their small size, but they also are insanely good as a cake garnish, ice cream topping, or cookie inclusion.

Teensy Candy Bars

Like tiny lil' Snickers bars, these are another easily snackable Trader Joe's candy due to their small size. Each micro chocolate features a layer of creamy nougat covered in caramel and peanuts that provides a super satisfying texture. I fear I've demolished a bag within 24 hours a couple times now...

Gourmet Jelly Beans

Every bite of this Trader Joe's candy is different, which always makes eating dessert (or a snack... or a midnight snack...) enjoyable! This boxed medley of jelly beans actually contains 18 different flavors for you to distinguish just by tasting 'em. Plus, you can create and hone in on your very own flavor combos by popping two or three in your mouth at a time – yum!

This is one of my absolute favorite TJ's candy picks to add to my cart and share with a pal or two because we can deliberate about the exact flavor notes together! We love a bonding moment.

Candy Coated Chocolates

This M&M's dupe from Trader Joe's is just as good as the original. Each bite is what you'd expect: creamy chocolate bits covered in a crunchy colored coating – but the main difference with these is that the color in the candy shells is actually derived from natural dyes, sourced from things like spirulina, annatto, red radish, turmeric, beetroot, and red cabbage! My fave part about this Trader Joe's candy is it comes in a resealable bag that makes storing and transporting 'em entirely seamless.

Super Sour Scandinavian Swimmers

While some Trader Joe's fans will truly ride or die for the OG Scandinavian Swimmers, I ague that the sour version is way better. The sourness of it all really enhances the snacking experience – plus, you still get to enjoy all the same flavors of the "swimmers," like red berry, huckleberry, strawberry, and orange. I love sneaking this bag into the movie theater to bypass expensive prices – I refuse to snack on any other candy (other than the aforementioned iconic PB cups) these days.

Dark Chocolate Orange Sticks

I was once skeptical of combining orange and chocolate, but this Trader Joe's candy really helped me see the light. It's so tasty. The sweet, citrusy flavors of these orange jelly sticks work stunningly well with the modest dark chocolate coating, but the texture of each component is truly what makes it the best.

What is 'Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer' about?

The three-episode Netflix docuseries Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer recently premiered on March 31, delving back into the brutal murders of seven women in Gilgo Beach and how investigators came to arrest their accused killer, Rex Heuermann.

Between 1993 and 2010, each of the seven women, who were in their 20s and worked as sex workers, went missing. Director Liz Garbus opens the docuseries by focusing on Mari Gilbert, whose search for her missing daughter, Shannan Gilbert, ultimately led to the discovery of the other victims. Liz also directed Lost Girls, a 2020 fictionalized retelling of the quest for answers in Shannan's disappearance.

The docuseries, which is climbing Netflix's charts, focuses on the victims and their families, as well as how the investigation into pinpointing their killer was stalled for years. Yet, after a new task force was formed in February 2022, the police were able to identify a suspect, Rex Heuermann, within six weeks.

While creating Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, Liz Garbus intentionally set out to humanize the victims and exclude speculations regarding Heuermann. Still, it includes interviews with journalists, law enforcement officers, the victims' loved ones, and those who knew the alleged killer.

What happened to Shannan Gilbert?

Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer sheds light on how the investigation into Shannan Gilbert's case was delayed, suggesting the police didn't take her disappearance seriously or allocate appropriate resources to the search due to her occupation. However, her mother, Mari, never stopped trying to keep her daughter's story alive in the media, and eventually, "The Gilgo Four" were found.

Who else were victims of the Gilgo Beach Killer?

The remains of four women, 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 24-year-old Melissa Barthelemy, 22-year-old Megan Waterman, and 27-year-old Amber Costello, were discovered wrapped in burlap along Long Island's Gilgo Beach.

Then, six additional sets of remains were uncovered in the same area before Shannan Gilbert was found in December 2011. They included Jessica Taylor, who'd been missing since 2003; Valerie Mack, missing since 2000; an unidentified toddler girl, an unidentified Asian man, Karen Vergata, missing since 1996; and a woman nicknamed "Peaches" due to a tattoo on her torso who turned out to be the unidentified toddler's mother.

Who is the Gilgo Beach Killer?

Rex Heuermann, a 61-year-old New York architect from Massapequa, was arrested years later and charged with killing Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Costello in July 2023. In 2024, he was also charged with four more murders, including that of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Jessica Taylor, Sandra Costilla, and Valeria Mack.

But despite the search for Shannan Gilbert being what led the police to Rex, he has not been charged in relation to her case. Her death was ruled an "unfortunate incident" after she allegedly ran into a marsh and drowned.

What happened during the Gilgo Beach Killer case?

Heuermann pleaded not guilty and is currently incarcerated at the Riverhead Correctional Facility in Suffolk County. His defense team reportedly petitioned the court to try the murders in multiple trials as opposed to tying them together in one trial.

In response, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office argued the seven victims are "inextricably interwoven by geographic proximity, victimology, digital and physical evidence, forensic analysis, and the defendant's own planning document." Judge Timothy Mazzei will rule on how the murders will be tried.

Another petition put forth by Heuermann's defense regards the exclusion of certain DNA testing, known as nuclear DNA or whole genome sequencing, arguing it hasn't been used in a New York court of law and isn't widely accepted by the scientific community.

"The advancement of forensic science and nuclear DNA analysis involving whole genome sequencing has allowed law enforcement to now link genetic profiles consistent with the defendant, and/or individuals who have resided with him, to six of the seven victims through hairs found at the crime scene and/or on the victims," rebutted Assistant District Attorney Andrew Lee.

Again, Judge Timothy Mazzei has to determine if the nuclear DNA evidence can be used. So, a trial date has not yet been set.
