TRADER Joe’s is known for its delicious, packaged foods and its low prices.

One woman said she visits the chain grocery store frequently to feed her family of five.

Writing for Insider, Diana Blinkhorn revealed the 15 Trader Joe’s items that she can’t live without when it comes to shopping for her kids.  

The first item on her list was dried fruit, which costs $3.99.

Not only is dried fruit delicious and healthy, with its sweet and tangy flavor, but it’s also so easy to carry around because it’s packaged in an airtight container.

If you have multiple kids at home, you’re probably always rushing to get them ready for school and out of the house on time to make the bell.

Trader Joe’s "This Apple Walks Into a Bar" cereal bars make for a quick breakfast that kids can take with them on the go.

The grocery store sometimes carries seasonal flavors as well, like pumpkin, which are equally delicious.

Kids typically hate the taste or look of leafy green veggies, so the best way to add them to their diet is to do so sneakily.

Trader Joe’s spinach-and-cheese tortellini will leave your kids clueless to the fact that they just ate an entire serving of veggies for dinner, and it only costs $2.79.

Not only is the flavor of the pasta itself delicious, but topped with some marinara sauce or even just olive oil and cheese makes it all the better.

If you like hummus, you need to pick up a case of Mediterranean-style hummus snack packs.

It comes with individual containers of dip and pita chips, which makes them great for on the go and it only costs $3.99.

Most kids love anything that’s breaded: chicken, steak, or fish.

If you’ve reached your chicken nugget quota, switch it up and buy a box of Trader Joe’s Battered Fish Nuggets.

All you need to do is pop them in the oven and they’re ready to serve.

You can never go wrong with pizza.

Trader Joe’s individual Bambino Pizzas are a perfect lunch or dinner entrée, and it only costs $4.99.

Depending on your child’s preference, you can buy them in cheese or pepperoni and serve them alongside a salad or rice.

If you want to feel like you’re at an Asian fusion restaurant, there are three frozen items you must buy: veggie fried rice, spring rolls, and dumplings.

These each cost less than $5 and only take a few minutes to make.

Serving them together makes for a gourmet and kid-friendly meal.

The tiny schoolbook cookies make for a perfect lunchtime dessert.

You can also use them to teach your kids new words or how to spell ones they’ve heard before.

They cost about $10 a pack.

Diner hashbrowns are always a good idea.

If you want to recreate that taste at home, Trader Joe’s frozen hashbrown patties will do the trick for $2.49.

Served with a side of scrambled eggs and your kids (and you) will be thrilled.

Many of us are cursed with an undying sweet tooth.

To make these necessary desserts a little more nutritious, opt for something with fruit involved, like Trader Joe’s dark chocolate-covered frozen banana slices.

Their small size makes it easy to pop a few in your mouth after a yummy dinner.

As for another portion-controlled dessert, the Hold The Cone Mini Ice-cream Cones are perfect and cost less than $4.

They come in a variety of flavors and are easy to hold—leaving little room for a big mess.

Trader Joe’s seasoning is some of the best - the everything bagel, the chili lime, and the truffle, to name a few.

One of the best, however, is the cheesy seasoning blend and you can get it for $2.99.

It makes for the perfect topping over vegetables like broccoli or spinach, so your kids won’t protest their greens so much, or on something simple like a bag of popcorn.

And finally, for another way to ensure your kids are getting the proper serving of fruits and veggies each day, don’t leave the store without a box of frozen acai bowls.

They’re light and tasty, and you can always make them a little more interesting by topping them with your favorite nut butter or granola.
