This New $4 Trader Joe’s Find Has Us Skipping the Drive-Thru

With grocery prices on the rise, many consumers are looking for ways to reduce their monthly food expenses. Comparing ground beef prices and shopping sales are great ways to save. And skipping the drive-thru and opting for store-bought alternatives such as crispy chicken bites and smash burgers can also help stretch your budget.

That goes for coffee, too. While mornings feel undoubtedly brighter with a Starbucks Strawberry Matcha Strato Frappuccino, homemade coffee is cost-efficient and less time-consuming than stopping in-store. And luckily, there are plenty of options to keep your cups exciting, such as finishing sugars, seasonal creamers, and refrigerated cold brew.

Recently, shoppers on Reddit spotted an exciting new find at Trader Joe’s that makes giving up your daily coffee run easier than ever.

Trader Joe’s New Vanilla Cold Foam Hits Store Shelves

Trader Joe’s Cold Foam Creamer just landed on shelves, and it’s the perfect way to top off your homemade pink drink or frozen caramel latte. The whipped-style vanilla creamer features a rich topping made with milk, sugar, and cream.

For those unfamiliar, cold foam is similar to whipped cream but less fluffy. It’s a pourable version that’s only whisked until small bubbles appear. When added to cold drinks, it adds a velvety texture and hint of sweetness that balances coffee’s bitter notes.

One Redditor said that compared to other popular grocery store cold foam options, the Trader Joe’s version is a winner. “I tried International Delight’s and Target brand’s vanilla cold foam, and both were too sweet and too artificial in my opinion,” they wrote.

The shopper continued, giving the new cold foam a glowing review. “Happy to report Trader Joe’s one wasn’t artificial tasting (pretty on point with vanilla extract taste) and was surprisingly less runny than the other brands, which I love!”

The thread quickly filled with excitement for the new release. “Agree with every word you said. It’s so good! Black cold brew or iced coffee with foam on top is my go-to, and this one exceeded my expectations,” said another fan. “That looks like something I would completely fall in love with and should never even try. Not once,” wrote another Redditor.
