Trader Joe's Is Selling A Laneige Lip Mask Dupe – For A Third Of The Price!

Best Overall: Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips

Widely known as a wonderful dupe for Takis, Trader Joe's Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips ($3) topped the charts by winning Best Overall. They're "tastefully tangy" and "definitely spicy," but each bite balances the two flawlessly. They make for a delightful mid-day snack or even a midnight snack, if you're feeling it.

Best New: Cashel Blue Cheese Irish Potato Chips

According to TJ's, these limited-edition crisps (they were available over the holidays) are sourced from an Irish supplier that employs Irish potatoes and Cashel Blue cheese, resulting in a tangy and salty bite every single time. Their unique and pungent flavor profile makes them the ultimate candidate for charcuterie boards!

Best Beverage: Spiced Cider

Another famed holiday item, the Spiced Cider easily snagged the #1 spot for Best Beverage. It's yummy hot or iced, and its apple-y sweetness is just the perfect fit for cozy season.

Best Cheese: Goat Cheese

This $3 log of plain goat cheese has proved it's truly the G.O.A.T. by garnering tons of votes for Best Cheese. The Chevre cheese is is "fresh, soft, and unaged," so it's ideal to form into homemade dips or even spread on top of bruschetta.

Best Produce: Teeny Tiny Avocados

These marvelous avocados come in a single-serve size, which is so nice to have on-hand especially if you live alone – or just tend to eat avos quite slowly. A single bag goes for $4, adding to the 'bang for your buck' factor.

Best Appetizer: Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip

And the winner for Best Appetizer goes to... this delicious spinach & artichoke dip! It heats up easily in the oven to turn into a bubbly, gooey, cheesy pot that you can easily dip breads, crackers, and veggies into.

Best In Breakfast + Brunch: Hashbrowns

Hashbrowns have taken the cake for Best In Breakfast + Brunch items. And it's no surprise, really – they're such a yummy and dependable pick to keep in the freezer when you want something savory in the morning. They taste just like McDonald's hashbrowns, but you get 10 patties for $3.

Best In Lunch + Dinner: Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice

TJ's touts their Butter Chicken to be filled with "chunks of chicken enrobed in a mild, mouth-watering curry crafted of crushed tomatoes, cream, onions, garlic, ginger, butter." Yummm. This spicy meal is quickly ready to go with some basmati rice after just a few minutes in the microwave.

Best In Bath, Body, + Home: Brazil Nut Body Butter

This rich body butter has been one of the best Trader Joe's beauty products for years now. It smells like absolute heaven with notes of salted caramel, pistachio, coconut, and vanilla and boasts a unique whipped texture that melts onto the skin.

Runners-up for the Best In Bath, Body, + Home include: Daily Facial Sunscreen SPF 40, Coconut Body Butter, Leave In Conditioner, and Lavender Spray Hand Sanitizer.

Best Snack: Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips

The Takis dupe returns! Appearing for a second time on this year's Customer Choice Awards list and a sixth time over the years, this spicy snack finally snagged a spot on the Trader Joe's Hall of Fame.

Best Sweet Treat: Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ice cream sandwiches are a total classic, especially when they come covered in chocolate chips. This $5 dessert won Best Sweet Treat this year, among other sugary favorites like Almond Kringle, Hold the Cone! Chocolate Chip, Jingle Jangle, and Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds.

Yep, it’s baaack! Trader Joe’s just revealed so many new Valentine’s Day products for 2025, but the one I’m the most excited about is the Italian Artisan Heart-Shaped Pasta. These tiny pieces of pasta are shaped perfectly into little hearts to recall the season of love. One package includes a mix of plain white pastas and pink, naturally-colored pastas for a beautiful variety.

The Trader Joe’s Italian Artisan Heart-Shaped Pasta is imported from Italy, so its quality and taste are unmatched. It cooks super quickly for only 6 to 8 minutes. Some shoppers have noted that boiling the pasta “gently” and not overcooking it helps it retain its heart shape.

This adorable heart-shaped pasta would make a great base for a pasta entree for either an at-home Valentine's Day date or a Galentine’s party – once cooked, just toss the pasta in your favorite homemade or store-bought sauce, pair it with a protein (chicken or shrimp sound ahh-mazing!), and if you want to go the extra mile, oven-roast some seasoned veggies for a side. It’s really all about embracing the ‘choose your own adventure’ vibe when making a meal for V-Day.

The Trader Joe’s Italian Artisan Heart-Shaped Pasta goes for just $2.49 for 1 pound of product. I’m definitely going to be stocking up with at least three bags at a time so I can serve the Galentine’s party I’m throwing this year (and save some for meals by myself). Plus, I can’t forget all the good V-Day sweets TJ’s just put on shelves.

In the first episode of The Flip Off, Christina shared with Tarek that she and Josh Hall officially split, tearfully admitting that she quickly gets into relationships that "aren't right" for her and noting how "horrible" everything's been for her since their divorce in 2016

As Christina and Tarek opened up to one another, the exes eventually came to forgive each other. Christina said, "I know we’re in a good place now, but yeah, we went through a lot of stuff. I don’t think anyone understands just how much stuff we went through. We met when we were so young."

Christina shared that Tarek was her "best friend" before the divorce, and that afterward she lost that and had to be a full-time mom — both of which "really, really, really hurt" her "really affected" her. Afterwards, Tarek said, "I understand that feeling of being a little bit lost. And I acknowledge that I’m a big part, if not the entire part, of all of this."

In a pivotal moment — for Christina and Tarek, but really all of us as fans — she said, "I’m really sorry for s---. I really am. I just want you to know that." Tarek took her knee during the apology, and Christina then asked, "You forgive me?"

Tarek's response? "A hundred percent, yeah."

And it wasn't just Christina apologizing either. Tarek said that he "did a lot of things" too, noting that he "holds zero against" her. In his confessional, Tarek opened up more about the cause for their split. He said, "I got diagnosed with cancer and then I hurt my back. I lost 60 lbs. because I was taking so many opiates and Vicodin and painkillers. I lost my way, lost who I was. I just wasn’t the best husband. I wasn’t the best father. You know, I own my s---. It wasn’t me, but it was me."

In the emotional conversation, Christina told Tarek, "You’re a great dad. I’m really proud of you. You’ve come a really long way. I can see it, you know. You’re so much calmer, you’re so much wiser, for real."

To see these two grow to love and support each other in a new way is truly beautiful! (And so are the houses they continue to flip. 😉)

You can catch The Flip Off on HGTV every Wednesday at 8pm EST.
