Nothing says summer like an old-fashioned, Louisiana-style Cajun seafood boil. But the cost adds up when you fill your shopping cart with quality seafood. Let Trader Joe’s do the heavy lifting with this Seafood Boil in a box, featuring shrimp, tilapia, clams, andouille sausage, corn on the cob and potatoes in a spicy garlic butter sauce. Each box serves two people for $10, which is a lot less than it would cost to gather all the ingredients separately.

  • Price: $4.49

Whether you’re using them as a mixer, serving over ice or drinking straight from the can, juice blends are a refreshing summer treat.

The convenient, single serving cans are also convenient for road trips and beach days.
