I'm a private chef who loves shopping at Trader Joe's. Here are 10 items I always buy when creating meals for my clients.

As a private chef, I prepare a variety of meals each week for my clients. When cooking for them, I try to create meals that aren't redundant but use as many of the same ingredients as possible. This allows me to make the most of my clients' grocery budgets and avoid food waste.
