Trader Joe's household hauls are something of a tradition on the Internet, and for good reason: The store's cheap but quality soaps and lotions are like crack for domestic types who get high on restocking their shower caddies for under $20 (see: your mom). Even if you haven't divulged all of your favorite TJ's grooming products in a late-night confessional on YouTube, that doesn't mean you shouldn't get in on the action. Here's our take on which 10 products you should add to your cart the next time you're stocking up on cat cookies and beef taquitos.
