Trader Joe's May 2018 Fearless Flyer Matchups
Hey Everyone! Hope 2018 is treating you all well and is finally bringing you some warmer weather. Tonight is actually April 30th, but the May Fearless Flyer has already landed in time for all of the Justin Timberlake "It's going to be May" memes. And now for the ninth installment of the Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer Matchups where I pair reviews from this blog and around the web. Think of this as a "know before you go" type of guide. It's here to cut down on the amount of searching you need to do and help guide your shopping list.
I'll add more to the list here as reviews are posted.  Some of the items are literally just hitting the shelves. While I won't have a full review of all the products, you can still take a look at the full flyer here which features how Trader Joe's describes these products. They don't seem to archive the flyer from month to month, so at the bottom are all the previous months that I have posted.
Happy shopping!  There are some real gems in this month, see the bottom for my top 5.  There is lots of room for impulse shopping here.  So here are my Trader Joe's May 2018 Fearless Flyer Matchups:

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to do these Fearless Flyer matchups. I can't speak for the other readers but it does help me streamline my buy and buy nots.
