Actress Blake Lively was recently seen shopping at a Trader Joe’s in Westport, Connecticut, picking up a few popular items that many shoppers, including our own team, enjoy. This sighting highlights the store’s appeal across demographics—from everyday shoppers to celebrities.
The Snacks Blake Lively Purchased
Lively’s haul included three standout snacks, all widely favored by Trader Joe’s customers: Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips, Organic Popcorn with Olive Oil, and Super Sour Scandinavian Swimmers.
Spicy and Tangy: Chili & Lime Tortilla Chips ($2.99)
One of Lively’s purchases was the Chili & Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips, a snack often described as a superior alternative to Takis. These chips offer a balanced flavor profile—the chili powder provides heat, while the lime cuts through the spiciness. According to one The Kitchn editor, these chips are so addictive that “fingers have been coated in the red hot dust more times than [she] can count.”
A Savory Classic: Organic Popcorn with Olive Oil ($2.99)
Another classic item Lively picked up was the Organic Popcorn with Olive Oil. This snack is praised for its nutty flavor, non-greasy texture, and generous portion size for just $2.99. It’s the kind of snack that disappears quickly without you realizing it.
Sweet and Sour: Super Sour Scandinavian Swimmers ($4)
For those with a sweet tooth, Lively also grabbed Super Sour Scandinavian Swimmers. These gummies are known for their intense sour coating and satisfying flavor, addressing recent online discussions about the lack of real flavor in some candies. The gummies come in fun sea-life shapes and bright colors, making them a popular choice among candy lovers.
Trader Joe’s continues to prove its popularity, even among celebrities, by offering affordable, flavorful snacks that keep customers coming back for more. The actress’s shopping trip is a testament to the store’s broad appeal and the quality of its products.
