{Shopping} Trader Joe's-Favorites and Some Vacation Buys

We had a few trips to Trader Joe's in the recent months with a few hauls.

Here are some typical staples that I buy.

We had a surprise trip to TJ's when we were in Boston for a few days and picked up some snacks.

Some more staples and a seasonal candle.

Even though we were on vacation, we picked up some recommended products to try when we got home. The mustard is really good. I haven't tried the Spicy Honey Sauce yet.

We also picked this up on our vacation haul.  I've been using it at home and it's a good transition from summer scents before getting into the heavier fall scents. 

I can't wait to check out all of the fall things on my next TJ's trip!

September Trader Joe's Finds & Faves

This is my favorite time of year to shop at Trader Joe's! I love seeing all of the fall and holiday themed items and they are just getting started.

I think I've had these before but I couldn't remember.

The Cauliflower Gnocchi is a staple and we love the Butternut Mac & Cheese this time of year.   We have Sheet Pan Cauliflower Gnocchi and Sausage pretty regularly.

I was in a pumpkin/maple mood so the Pumkin-O's sounded good but so did the Maple Leaf Ice Cream sandwiches.  I like that there are only 4 in the box so it's not a big commitment.   They were tasty.

I needed these three items for a dumpling bake recipe I found on Tiktok. It was good!

This Cinnamon Roll Lip Mask really tastes like cinnamon rolls!

A couple of other staples. The Oat Creamer comes in Cinnamon Bun flavor this time of year.

We also got some broccoli florets.

I wanted to try the Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken again but it wasn't as good as I remembered. We were not impressed with the  Buffalo Blue Cheddar Cheese Spread either.  The Scottish Cheddar was a hit and we are fans of the Light String Cheese and the shaved Parmegiano-Regiano.  The Pumpkin Greek Nonfat Yogurt was yummy.

I'm looking to more seasonal finds and favorites.  Do you have any TJ's favorites?

Trader Joe's** New** & Different Items!

Instead of my normal Trader Joe's haul, I thought I'd highlight some new items that I found in store.

They had so many options for mac & cheese...this French Onion sounded and looked good.

Cheese Filled Fiocchette in Pink Sauce.

I was excited to see canned lentils!

Green Olive Flats.

This Tortilla Espanol looked delish!

These Cheery Lemon Animal Crackers are a Springtime seasonal treat.

This was the first time I saw this 100% Sicilian Lemon Juice (and it came home with me!).

The Mochi Cake Mix looked interesting.

I tried a new salad kit- The Sweet Chili Mango version.

I always add extra greens and veggies to bulk it up.

I haven't had these in awhile and loving them on salads.

I tried the Coffee Bean Hold The Cone.  They are pretty good.

I also picked up some roses and a basil plant.

I saw a 4 ingredient TJ's recipe that looked super easy so I picked up the ingredients to make it.

It was yummy!

{Shopping} Trader Joe's Holiday & Seasonal Items are Here!

 This is a from a few trips to TJ's.  The new products just keep coming!

I thought this would be a fun activity for Thanksgiving but would work for other get togethers too.

The pet Advent calendars are in and there's Jingle Jangle for Dogs!

I hadn't seen these Pizza Seasoned Crackers before and I'm not quite sure if I'd like them. Have you tried them?

Mini pancakes are in!

I've heard really good things about this Pretzel Bread Pudding.

These look amazing!

Seasonal Dunkers Cookies=Oatmeal Cranberry

I love the packaging on this candy.

These sound so interesting!

Yes, I could make this myself but it's so convenient this way!

Fahn-cy salt in the cutest container.

I definitely wanted to try this hair oil.  More things we bought...

Some staples and the new Oat Creamer Gingerbread flavor. 

Stocking up on Candy Cane Joe Joe's for some people.  We've tried the ice creams and both are delish.

I have to get this every year!

I was excited to see the Turkey-Less Stuffed Roast with Gravy after it was discontinued last year.   I like to keep frozen pie crusts in the freezer so they are another staple.

We've been buying both of these breads on repeat.

Some stocking stuffers.

We only get the hashbrowns for Christmas morning. The *new* stir fried garlicky cabbage sounded like a good dinner side dish.

Produce, fresh pasta, autumn sauce and more of that Half Baked Bread.

Decadent Dark Chocolate Joe Joe's and some yogurts.

Some canned beans and sparkling water.   What have you found at TJ's lately?
