While there's so much to love about Trader Joe's, its ever-changing inventory is arguably one of its most tantalizing qualities. When you visit the cult-favorite store, you're almost always guaranteed to spot something new or encounter the return of a limited-time product you haven't seen in months—or sometimes even years.

Last month, Trader Joe's had shoppers buzzing about an array of new items, such as Burrata Filling, Dark Chocolate Covered Pistachios, and of course, the viral Mini Insulated Tote Bag. While the glowing reviews for these new items continue to pour in, shoppers have also been raving about plenty of other product additions you'll want to consider adding to your cart the next time you visit the neighborhood grocery store.

It's grilling season, and Trader Joe's is giving shoppers even more options to serve at their summer barbecues. The new Angus C.P.B. Ground Beef Patties feature a combination of three Angus beef cuts: chuck, brisket, and picanha (hence the acronym C.P.B). Each package costs $9.99.

According to the grocery chain, the brisket and picanha add an "amazingly rich flavor, with their slightly fattier composition," while the leaner chuck offers "beefiness and balance." Each patty contains 20% brisket, 5% picanha, and 75% chuck to offer a burger with a ratio of 75% lean to 25% fat. The new patties have already garnered rave reviews.

"I made these for dinner the other day and they were indeed quite delicious. The burgers didn't shrink as much as most do while cooking and they stayed perfectly juicy," one customer wrote on Reddit.
