I recently shared a list of my favorite organic + vegan products at Trader Joe’s— not just a list of ALL the vegan products at TJ’s but a list of the vegan products that I actually buy and use. So many of you reached out and told me how much it helped you to have a realistic shopping list for Tj’s that I thought sharing my Costco vegan products shopping list would also be helpful to you!

If you want to see what I buy at Whole Foods, check out this list –> The BEST Whole Foods Vegan Products!

Please leave a comment if there are any other stores you’d like to see vegan shopping lists for!

I do a majority of my grocery shopping at three stores with occasional trips to Whole Foods and Sprouts. I buy bulk items at Costco, organic produce at a local market, and specific products (inexpensive organic vegan wine, coconut aminos, my favorite vegan granola bars) at Trader Joe’s when I can make a trip there.

Even though you have to buy a membership to shop at Costco ($60 for one year), I still think it’s worth it because they offer lots of perks in addition to low prices.

Their return policy is awesome! You don’t even need to bring your receipt because they can look it up on your account.
Members can get cheaper gas at the Costco gas station.
Travel discounts ($$$ Costco cash card) when you book through them. We’ll definitely be using Costco travel to book our Disney cruise this year! (Thinking about booking a Disney cruise? You’ll need this ultimate guide to eating vegan on Disney Cruise!)
Discounts on movie tickets and restaurant gift cards.
Product samples to snack on while you shop!

I’ve done a lot of price comparison research on the following organic + vegan products and Costco, by far, has the best prices. That’s why it’s worth it to me to buy things in bulk because we’re on a budget and I cut every corner possible so we can afford all of the fresh organic produce that we could possibly eat.

Here are 27 Cheap vegan meals you can make on a budget if you need some inexpensive inspiration!

Note – Costco’s products tend to vary by store and they also seem to go through a seasonal rotation on products so don’t be surprised if you don’t find all of these products at your local store today but they might pop up in a few months!

Trader Joe’s Vegan Shopping List

By Stacey Homemaker on June 5, 2019, Updated September 30, 2019 16 Comments

This is a realistic Trader Joe’s vegan shopping list of (healthy & organic) products that I actually buy and use on a daily basis, it’s not just a list of everything that’s vegan at Trader Joe’s. Every item has been label-checked, taste-tested, and picky husband-approved!

*I originally posted this Trader Joes vegan grocery list on 3/29/18 but I updated it with new products on 6/5/19.

I love grocery shopping in general but I really love shopping at Trader Joe’s. It’s such a fun store! The produce is always fresh, their return policy is great, and I love getting a coffee sample to sip on while I shop. It’s the little things, am I right?

I do most of my grocery shopping at three stores: a local organic market, Costco, and Trader Joes. Here is my vegan Costco shopping list and vegan Whole Foods shopping list if you shop at either of these stores and need some shopping inspiration!

Unfortunately, I only make it to Trader Joe’s once every few months because it’s a little bit of a drive from my house. The local organic market and Costco are right down the street from where I live so I get most of my fresh produce and bulk items from those stores but I always look forward to going to Trader Joe’s!

There are a few staple products that I love that I can only get at Trader Joe’s, so I always make sure to stock up on them when I get the chance.

Trader Joe’s has lots of healthy, organic, vegan products but they also have a lot of processed vegan junk food too. I’m very picky when it comes to the products that I buy. I want to know exactly what’s in the food that I’m eating, where it came from, and it has to be organic and vegan.

That’s why I called this a realistic Trader Joe’s vegan shopping list because it’s not just a list of all the vegan products at Trader Joe’s, it’s a real list of the products that I actually buy for my family.

I know for some people, especially new vegans, going grocery shopping can be very overwhelming if you don’t know what you’re looking for. I hope that sharing my personal Trader Joe’s vegan shopping list will save you time and help to guide you through the aisles at the store while you’re grocery shopping.

I’ve read all the labels and done all the research for you– all of the following products are approved by one very picky vegan and her not-so-picky-vegan-husband.

Is Trader Joe’s Vegan?

No, Trader Joe’s is not a 100% vegan grocery store but they have so many vegan options! They’re very vegan-friendly and you can easily do all of your grocery shopping there. They even offer Trader Joes vegan recipes on their website.

Are Joe Joe’s Vegan?

TJ’s joe joe’s are accidentally vegan– just like Oreos. It’s the one junk food item that I will occasionally buy as a treat, especially the candy cane flavored joe joe’s sold at Christmas time. They’re delicious!

Does Trader Joes Have Tofu?

Yes, Trader Joe’s has multiple tofu options. My favorite is the 2-pack of organic sprouted tofu. It’s inexpensive, high quality, and delicious.

Is Ezekial Bread Vegan?

Yes, Food For Life Ezekial bread is vegan and Trader Joe’s has it for the best price that I’ve found at any grocery store! I always buy 3-4 loaves from Trader Joe’s and freeze it. It reheats in the toaster oven perfectly and makes the best avocado toast.

To be honest, I never shopped at Whole Foods…until Amazon bought them out and they started lowering their prices and offering a 10% prime member discount on yellow tag sale items and special blue tag sales just for Prime members!

I used to go into Whole Foods and look at items that I wanted to buy but then I would compare the prices to other stores that I could shop at and Whole Foods was almost always more expensive.

I do most of my shopping at a local organic market for our fresh produce, I go to Costco for organic bulk items and I do a monthly trip to Trader Joe’s for vegan products that only they carry (like super cheap organic coconut aminos and my favorite organic granola bars!).

If you want to know what I buy at Trader Joe’s, check this list out –> My Trader Joe’s vegan shopping list!

If you want to know what I buy at Costco, check this list out –> My favorite vegan products at Costco!

However, lately, I’ve also found myself making a few trips each month to Whole Foods too because they have specific vegan products (that I can’t find anywhere else) that I love for a great price!

Let’s answer a few questions about Whole Foods vegan prepared food first before we get to my favorite products…
