"A trip through the frozen section at Trader Joe's always feels like a mini vacation. Maybe I'm just deeply entrenched in an ongoing love affair with the chain (I definitely am). But there's also something utterly blissful about walking through the freezer aisle at a grocery store and finding a plethora of budget-friendly selections. After all, Trader Joe's has a startling selection of sub-$5 products, especially in its frozen section."
"But finally trying the garlic naan had me instantly regretting this decision. This is a really good naan, and only took a few minutes to heat in the air fryer. Its flavor is very herbaceous, and the small chunks of garlic scattered across the top impart ample flavor and aroma. It makes a good enough snack on its own, but I adored this pillowy bread paired with the chain's butter chicken."
Trader Joe's frozen section contains many affordable options priced under $5, spanning full meals, desserts, sides, snacks, and breads. A selection of 22 standout frozen items under $5 provides a small representation of the store's broader offerings. Garlic naan heats in minutes in an air fryer, delivers herbaceous flavor with small garlic chunks, and pairs well with butter chicken. Taiwanese green onion pancakes are commonly shelved nearby. Trader Joe's sweet potato fries provide a satisfying, well-executed frozen version of the side. Many sub-$5 items function as complete meals while others serve as snacks or accompaniments.
