Trader Joe’s Cotton Kitchen Towels

Average Price: $2.99*
Verdict: Skip It

The decision on whether or not to purchase this item is based on whether or not you want to use your kitchen towels or if you simply want to display them. With prices starting at $6 for three towels ($2.99 for each towel), the Trader Joe’s Cotton Kitchen Towels are a good value. Because they are thin and lightweight, they are effective at absorbing liquids but are not suitable for significant messes. As you wash the towels, the cotton becomes softer because they are so thin. Because of this, you may find yourself washing them more regularly. It is generally best to “Skip It” and purchase your towels from Bed Bath & Beyond or Walmart instead if you want something more durable and heavy-duty.

Trader Joe’s Green Dragon Hot Sauce

Average Price: $2.99*
Verdict: Buy It

It’s possible that you’ve surmised from the name that the Trader Joe’s Green Dragon Hot Sauce is quite hot. Despite the fact that it is not going to burn the roof of your mouth off, it does have a kick to it. The components for the Hot Sauce include a small number of habanero peppers, jalapenos, tomatillos, garlic, vinegar, cilantro, and lime juice. It mixes well with everything, and the flavor isn’t overpoweringly spicy that you can’t tell there are other flavors in it. Trader Joe’s sells the Green Dragon Hot Sauce for $2.99, which is a good deal. In most cases, it will be significantly more expensive at other merchants (for example, on Amazon, two bottles will cost you $16.99).
