Trader Joe’s Brewed Ginger Beer
Average Price: $2.99*
Verdict: Buy It
Trader Joe’s Brewed Ginger Beer is a popular beverage among consumers. Due to the low carbonation of the beverage, and the mild ginger flavor, you will not get a burning sensation in your throat when drinking it. There’s no alcohol in the Ginger Beer, and it doesn’t have as strong a ginger flavor as some of Trader Joe’s other ginger-based drinks do (but you can still taste a little bit of a bite). If you have a stomachache, ginger beer may be able to alleviate your discomfort. Ginger has been used as a treatment for stomach aches and pains for hundreds of years. Ginger beer is far more effective than ginger ale since the beer contains a ginger root in its actual form (unlike soda).
Trader Joe’s Thyme Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
Average Price: $2.99*
Verdict: Skip It
Even while the Trader Joe’s Thyme Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette sounds delicious, What’s Excellent at Trader Joe’s has debunked that notion, exposing that the Vinaigrette, despite its enticing name, is simply not that good, even for the $2.99 price tag. The dressing is really boring, according to the site, which describes it as “essentially just olive oil.” Even after vigorously tossing and shaking the bottle to bring the balsamic to room temperature, the dressing still didn’t taste particularly good. If you find balsamic vinegar to be too hot, you might want to try this dressing. Otherwise, you’re better off spending the extra money on a more tasty dressing that actually has flavor.
