This Galentine’s season, there are two things I love: a good dinner party and the seasonal items at Trader Joe’s.
February 14th has always been about showing love to the people in my life who I appreciate the most, and in my opinion, thereā€™s no better way to do this than dinner with your gals. Good pasta, a rom-com, and heart-shaped candy are the best remedies for a broken heart. Unfortunately, hosting this Galentine’s Day celebration can easily break the bank. Luckily for us, Trader Joe’s has a pink, heart-shaped fix.
As I was checking out at TJ’s the other day, admiring my very pink basket, I realized that Trader Joe’s had conveniently provided me with all of the necessary tools for a great night in. And what better people to share a night in with than your Galentines? So, as an avid dinner party enthusiast and Trader Joeā€™s frequenter, here is my expert guide to hosting Galentine’s dinner for less than 30 bucks.
My basket consisted of 5 key items:
- Heart Shaped Ricotta Cuoricini Ravioli
-
An easy comfort food to fuel your cheesy rom-com-filled night, this is the perfect main course to your meal for only $3.99.
- A Flower Centerpiece
-
Who needs someone else to buy them for you when flowers are only $9.99 per bouquet? With options ranging from tulips to roses, flowers make the perfect centerpiece for your table.
- Sparkling Cider
-
A dinner isn’t complete without a fun drink to go along with it, and for only $2.99, this is a great addition to your cart.
- Chocolate Strawberry Making kit
-
Chocolate-covered strawberries are synonymous with the holiday, and this $4 kit turns this delicious dessert into a fun activity that can make your night even sweeter.
- Raspberry Heart Cookies
-
This classic dessert is only $5.99, and the perfect end to your night. With 18 cookies in a box, celebrating with all of your friends just got easier.
Whether you’re hosting a girls night, celebrating with a partner, or just treating yourself to heart-shaped dessert, these items are the perfect way to celebrate this season of love. Happy hosting!
