- I’m on a budget and enjoy following a Mediterranean diet using ingredients from Trader Joe’s.
- Trader Joe’s is my go-to place to buy olive oil and some affordable seasonal veggies.
- I try to keep my kitchen stocked with Mediterranean classics like beans and fresh tomatoes.
Each time I travel to the Mediterranean, I find myself falling in love with the food over and over again at every meal.
Many of the dishes are wildly fresh, and the Mediterranean diet emphasizes foods like fresh produce, whole grains, olive oil, fish, legumes, and eggs.
When I return to the US after a trip, I combat post-travel blues by enjoying many of the same foods at home. Fortunately, I’ve found that I can get many Mediterranean-inspired staples at Trader Joe’s at a reasonable price.
Here are some of my favorite buys.
