Eeeeeeks! Friends, I’m so excited about today’s post!!! Last year, I did a TRADER JOE’S FALL FAVES, and it was so much fun that I’m doing it again this year but with a whole new batch of things. I realllly think it’s important for you to read both posts though before you shop so you don’t miss anything. Read THIS ONE and then read today’s for the full fall haul at Trader Joe’s!
Okay, I’m giddy. I need to settle down. I love going to Trader Joe’s all year long but my VERY favorite time to go is now through December. I find it so relaxing, so inspiring and so fun to see all of the new fall stuff they have out. It makes my heart SO DANG HAPPY. These past few weeks, I’ve been shopping and taking notes of what you should get this year. Grab your #PSL and a piece of paper, you need to jot all of this down (or just take your phone into the store and shop with my posts!!). And bonus, I have a FALL CHARCUTERIE BOARD today made solely from Trader Joe’s things 🙂 .
Happy, happy Fall!!
Okay, these little cinnamon brooms are amazing. My mom had them at her house and in her car, and we loved them so much that we needed them too. They’re small and smell like Christmas 🙂 . Stick one in your closet, in your cupholder…wherever you stick them, it will smell amazing.
I feel like these need no explanation. And they’re delicious too.
They’re savory and delicious with cheese and dips! Speaking of which…
…these seasonal Pumpkin Cranberry Crisps with a little Autumn cheese…ohhhhhhhh! That is an amazing snack!
Okay, I hate playing favorites with Trader Joe’s items but…
…whether you’re gluten-free or not, you need to MAKE THESE PANCAKES!! Oh my word, these are so delicious!! I made them THREE times last week for my kids because they’re simple and delish! My mom and dad (who can eat gluten) bought this first and told me to buy it because they can’t stop eating them at their house too!! Make sure you top them with…
…their seasonal Organic Vermont Maple Syrup. I typically buy their other maple syrup, but decided to try this one instead and it’s delicious. I’m a bit of a syrup snob…I like a thick, real, aged syrup and not the imitation stuff. This is great!
Lookin’ for some easy lunches this fall…
…this Turkey Harvest Salad is perfect as are…
…these Gobbler Quesadillas. It’s an odd combo of ingredients but friends, it works!! I love these! You can enjoy both with…
…the Spicy Pozole Verde soup! You know me, I love spicy food…this isn’t spicy as much as I would say flavorful. If spicy isn’t your thing, I really wouldn’t worry about this being too hot.
Okay, and you know how much I love their chicken salads. I am really quite obsessed with them. This one though…
…might be my very fave. Girls, this one is so good!! It’s a delicious lunch!!
Heat ’em, eat ’em and love ’em! If you have an air fryer, pop them in there!
Have you picked up some of these? They’re great for snacks during the day!
Okay, this right here is a realllll winner…
…yesssssss! This is one of their seasonal cheeses and not only is it colorful on a charcuterie board, it’s delicious too!!
Speaking of which…
…it’s like a Brie. It’s soft and creamy and perfect on one of those crackers I suggested.
Yes. Just yes.
Okay, I’m a huge fan of Trader Joe’s hummus. Their dill pickle is my fave, but this one right here is so good too! Put it with a corn dipper and call it a day!
Go ahead and buy several cans. For literally everything.
Oh my word. These almonds are great for salads, for boards, for quick snacks…yup. They’re amazing. Just like…
…these. Both seasonal.
Kensington was THRILLED when I brought home these gluten-free pumpkin bagels home!
Okay, these next items I did not buy but wanted to share with you for your next TJ trip…
Pumpkin Ice Cream!
Pumpkin Spice Pretzel Slims
Pumpkin Bagels (with gluten 😉 )
Oh my!! Look at the Pumpkin Brioche Twist!
And this Maple Streusel Bread!!!
Spiced Pumpkin Madeleines!
Apple Cider Cookies
Chocolate Mousse Pumpkins
Apple Cider Donuts
Pumpkin Blondie Brownies
All the fall at Trader Joe’s!
Whew!
Girls!
That’s a lot of deliciousness!!!
Okay, three things:
1. I really can’t stress enough that you need to also read last year’s post too because you also need to add all of that to your shopping list.
2. I’m going to Trader Joe’s TODAY, so if by chance I missed something, comment and tell me!!
3. You need to check out my Trader Joe’s Fall Charcuterie Board today too…

Lauren says
Okay this is hilarious, I also have a Trader Joes Fall Foods post ready to go out Friday but it’s actually almost all different foods than the ones you chose! And some of yours I haven’t even seen at our TJ’s! I wonder if some things are more local? Or maybe ours was just sold out of some stuff? Anyway, needless to say, I LOVE a good TJ’s post!!
Mix and Match Mama says
Did you check my first post? I wonder if there are common items between yours and that one?! Happy fall!!!
Melanie says
The pumpkin caramel Kringle! And I always stock up on the pumpkin bread mix to make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
Jennie says
I made the butternut squash ravioli last week with sausage, broccolini and a little cream sauce and my family devoured it. Love fall and love TJs!
Elspeth says
These are the times when I wish I had a Trader Joe’s by me! Everything looks so good and so festive! Yum!!

Beth says
I didn’t see
1.) Pumpkin spice cream cheese on your list. It’s delicious!
2.) Also, the maple-flavored kettle corn. It doesn’t have a strong maple flavor, or any maple flavor at is but is very sweet and a small amount is more satisfying than regular kettle corn to me.
3.) Pumpkin bread, the sliced, not cake-like. It’s delicious for breakfast
4.) Maple butter – sadly, it sold out quickly. I’ve seen it on the shelf for years and only tried it this year. I’ll stock up next year. It’s delicious on the above pumpkin bread.
Meredith says
Went today to get that pumpkin bread and my store is sold out and won’t be getting restocked. Mine is already also out of the maple popcorn and regular pumpkin bagels. Lots of good stuff won’t be back till next year??
Mix and Match Mama says
Agh!!!! This panics me!!!
Liza says
I thought your whole family went gluten free? Majority of these products are not gluten free. I was excited to see what you recommended but quickly noticed most wasn’t safe for us to eat. Bummer.
Mix and Match Mama says
We did go g-free and many, many of these items are in fact, g-free. I did buy a few extra for fall that aren’t (like the crackers or ravioli), but those are stored separately and not used at meals when K is there (like for my lunch at home!). That’s why I took so many pics of items in store and didn’t purchase…those are products that contain gluten. No bummer here, when you go to Trader Joe’s, you can ask them for their current print out of gluten-free items.
KC says
She has some readers that aren’t gluten-free so I’m sure she’s just trying to help us all out. ?
Charmaine Ng | Architecture & Lifestyle Blog says
I want to try all of these! Trader Joe’s needs to go international! ?✨

Laura Fuller says
I just went yesterday and my store didn’t have hardly any Fall items! So sad since it’s a special 40 mile trip for me.
Mix and Match Mama says
What?! That’s terrible!!!
Jenni Penka says
I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere western Kansas. Yep be never even seen a Trader Joe’s!
Beth says
I’ve never been to one either (odd thing is I live near a couple of big cities). But these pictures make me want to go. Just Googled and the closest one is 2.5 hours away. I’m missing out! Maybe if I’m traveling and see one I’ll make a point to visit.
Erika Slaughter says
I completely agree! There’s something about Trader Joe’s and the holidays. It just feels so festive!
Shannon says
Turkey and Stuffing Kettle
Chips. Strangely delicious.
Sheaffer Sims says
Don’t forget to get the brushchetta topping! And there is a caprese ravioli (I think it’s new) that was soooo freaking good!
Juli McGuire says
You must grab the gluten free pumpkin bread mix! You will love it with a cream cheese frosting!! We are are also loving the jicama sticks for dipping. They are in the salad area.
Liz says
Their maple kettle corn! It’s the most delicious and gluten free
Christine R. says
Shay, how is your TJ’s handling COVID and social distancing? I’m in upstate NY and the line to get in to TJ’s is down the block and around the building. Every day. All day long. Wondering if it’s the same in all states?
Mix and Match Mama says
I would say ours was earlier in the summer/late spring (and perhaps still is if you go on say a Saturday or Sunday morning), but when I go (normal weekday morning), I’m able to walk right in.
Lori C says
Christine, I am in Northern New Jersey. For several months we had a similar line for our store, but then towards beginning of summer the line went away. I did feel the store was more crowded. This past weekend the line was back. I believe they must have lifted some restrictions when our numbers were low, but now our numbers are starting to slowly go back up, the restrictions are coming back.
Susan says
Christine, I am also in upstate NY and even though the line appears long it moves pretty fast. I was at the Colonie store last Saturday afternoon and I waited about 15 minutes. Well worth it to me! Trader Joe’s and Wegmans are the best grocery stores ever ?
Megan Bowen says
I want it all but seriously those fall leaf corn chips have to be the most quintessential fall food. I need to get some and plan nacho night now!
Amy says
GET. THOSE.PRETZEL.SLIMS!!!!! You will not regret it. Actually, you will because if you do, you will probably eat a whole bag in one sitting. I don’t know from experience or anything 🙂
Deb says
Look for the pumpkin kringle!! So good 🙂
Sierra says
I love Trader Joe’s around this time of year! So many great things you found. We love those raviolis, the bagels, and I have to try those empanadas! Thank you for sharing.
Kerri Soto says
Love this! I am at Trader Joes twice a week pretty much and I always see something on your post! I also follow the Gluten Free Instagram for Traders. I have Celiac and love all their Gluten Free stuff! Love a cheese board too!
Mary says
Love these posts, thank you! I’m headed there today, too and stocking up on the frozen pumpkin waffles. My kids don’t always like pumpkin flavored things but gobbled these up after the last TJ’s shopping trip. (Don’t think they were GF though). They also have pumpkin flavored Perfect Bars that I haven’t found anywhere else! ?
Lisa B says
I’m also GF and those pumpkin bagels are some of the best I’ve had!!! I need to go back and get some for the freezer. Also, get their pumpkin cream cheese! The pumpkin ice cream is also very good! And not a fall item but try the Organic White Truffle Potato Chips (so good!)
Connie says
Those pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds are so yummy!! My kids love them too! I bought a box of the Italian breadsticks and thought they were good for a crunchy snack. With a dip too. As well as their sliced almonds and their chocolate filled Belgium cookies! Yum!
Chelsea says
LOVING all things fall and TJs! Just started shopping at TJs a few month’s ago – now I’m obsessed!! Can’t wait to see your holiday TJs posts! xo
Stacy says
That Maple Streusal bread is AMAZING!
Christy I. says
I love their butternut squash ravioli and their pumpkin ravioli this time of year! I top both with brown butter with some sage leaves added to it and then I top it all with some freshly grated parmesan.. YUM!
Alison says
Oh my! There’s so much awesomeness in this post. I love all things TJ and adding in Fall things really take it to a whole new level. Our Trader Joe’s is about 45 minutes away. I hope to go in the next few weeks.
Rachel says
We got the pumpkin spice Joe-Joe cookies and maple kettle corn the other day. YUM!
Seunghye Huggins says
I love your Trader Joe’s pumpkin prices in TX. I’m in VA outside of DC and our pumpkin prices are double. Sigh! And I was there yesterday and was a bit overwhelmed but will get some of your suggestions next week!
Coreline says
Love, love, love their Pumpkin Spice coffee and Autumn Malle Coffee. Ours has also quickly sold out of many fall items, the checker said smaller batches were made due to covid and lack of availability of certain core ingredients ;(
Coreline says
Autumn maple coffee!
Julie says
Love love love Trader Joe’s! I forget, but if you haven’t yet tried the pumpkin biscotti, they are delicious and we love dipping them in TJ’s Harvest Blend herbal tea. (It has a cute little fox on the box-so fall!). Also my kids are obsessed with their ‘baton wafer cookies’ that come in pumpkin spice. Vanilla flavor is good too! And I am having a moment with mochi rice nuggets.! I don’t even know how to describe, maybe they’re a bit like corn nuts? But just a really addictive yummy salty little snack. I need to slow down on those :). Enjoy your trip to TJ’s!
taylor says
the pumpkin spice pretzel skins are heavenly!
taylor says
i can’t spell . SLIMS! lol
Lisa D says
You should absolutely get TJ’s Honey Crisp Apple candle! Smells so yummy without being overpowering. Happy, happy Fall!?
Jennifer says
The pumpkin brioche twist is AMAZING! My kids devoured the loaf quickly!
Suzanne Lane says
Shay, I don’t know if you have a HEB grocery store near you but when I got this, I immediately thought of you. It is HEB Premium Hayride bacon. I am not able to post a picture of it but it is described as “Hand seasoned with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and pumpkin for a touch of sweetness. – Cut Thick – No MSG added – Gluten free – Small batch”.
If you see a HEB, you definitely need to stop in to get it!
Megan says
I recently moved near a Trader Joe’s and have been going there so much! I absolutely love the autumn harvest soup and highly recommend it!!
Molly says
This post makes me happy!! I screamed with joy last month when I saw pumpkins outside my Trader Joe’s. I stock up on pumpkin items to use throughout fall and during Thanksgiving (I feel like they can disappear quickly). The pumpkin biscotti you posted about last year is SO wonderful. We love their apple cider, pumpkin cream cheese and Pumpkin Os! I snagged a Honeycrisp scented candle a few weeks ago that was simply glorious. Thanks for making a regular day feel so wonderfully festive with your fall faves!
Bailey Morris says
You NEED 1. Pumpkin Bread…. with
2. Crunchy Almond Butter… and
3. Apple Cider Jam (I think these 3 were in last year’s post)
BUT….
4. Maple Kettle Corn is UNREASONABLY good!! I get one bag of that & 1 bag of the movie theater popcorn, mix them together, and it’s the perfect sweet & salty snack.
Elyse says
Happy fall! Do you and your mom make a slit and keep the cinnamon brooms in their packaging?
Mix and Match Mama says
Nope, we pull them out and place them out of the plastic.
Stacy says
I have purchased a lot of the items you mentioned and love everyone. Your post just makes me want to go back and buy everything I didn’t get!
The pumpkin spice pretzel slims are absolutely amazing. In fact they are game changing. But don’t let the name fool you. No one got any slimmer in my house eating these!! 🙂 haha
Kelly S says
HoneyCrisp Apple candle- smells sooo soo good!
Gluten free pumpkin baking mix!
Cornbread Biscotti!
Julie H says
I was at the TJ.’s in Plano on Monday, People were lined up 17 deep to get in! Luckily line moved quick. ? I assume you shop at T.J.s in McKinney? Your picks definitely show a much bigger pumpkin selection. Next time I’m going to McKinney! I did buy a cinnamon broom stick!! I put on our porch with flowers and pumpkins,
Holly says
Always love your Trader Joe’s post! On another note, can you post the link to the cute color block tee you were wearing in your home update story this morning? Super cute and fallish ?!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes! It’s actually on my Amazon page! https://mixandmatchmama.com/amazon-faves/
Danna F says
I love this post! There are a lot of yummy looking finds from TJ’s on here. Can I say, I went 2 weeks ago and I felt lost! Like everything looked good but I was afraid of buying anything but the pumpkins. I did get a delicious salad & the fall chips.
My husband and I make a charcuterie board each week and now I can’t wait to try some of the cheeses. I am going back to your previous posts on TJ’s so I have a list of items next time I go.
By the way, I hope you do a Costco post in the near future…especially on food. I love a lot of items there (sheets, towels, books, ribbon,etc) but their food is intimidating to me there too!
Rachel says
First, the apple cider jam is back (just in different packaging) this year and just as delicious. I like it in yogurt. But my FAVORITE find was cinnamon roll filling in a jar (I think that’s what it’s called). Incredibly delicious. I dip apple slices in a spoonful of the dip and it feels like a real treat.
Kristin B says
Please do a Trader Joe’s post featuring Winter/ Christmas items! I am not a pumpkin fan (sorry) but I love their wonderful Christmas treats.
Mix and Match Mama says
I will!!!
Stephanie S. says
You need to add a few snack items to your ever growing list: 1. the Jalepeno Seasoned Corn and Rice Puffs. 2. The Maple & Sea Salt Kettle Corn! 3. TJ’s Cinnamon Bun Spread. Oh my word, they’re all SO GOOD!!
Cami says
Maple sea salt popcorn!
Leslie Clingan says
Crying real tears over here because we don’t have a Trader Joe’s. and it’s not like El Paso is this little Teensy town stuck in the middle of nowhere. I love everything you featured. And just made some Trader Joe’s pumpkin bread two days ago with a mix that someone sent me because again we don’t have a Trader Joe’s. Can you tell I’m bitter?
Erin says
The pumpkin ginger Hold the Cones are so good!! And serving size is 3 ?
Shanna Corn says
The apple cider cookies are soooooooo good!
Paula says
I ended up at TJ’s today. I bought many items you suggested! But those pumpkin seeds! Oh my! I should have bought 2 or more packs! I can’t wait to try the cheeses! This weekend!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay!!! Madeley is my least “nut fan” over here and she can’t stay out of them!!
Meredith says
The sweet potato gnocchi is excellent, too! And you already mentioned it, but I love the pumpkin Jojos!
Katie says
Apple cider donuts in the air fryer for 4 mins. Top with vanilla ice cream and pumpkin pie spice!
Janet says
I was going to head to Trader Joe’s this weekend to get a cinnamon broom, but clearly, I need to allow more time to browse all the fun seasonal items!
Angela Ellingson says
So wish my city had a Trader Joe’s!
Tricia says
Sigh… Just a Canadian girl over here wishing so badly we had Trader Joe’s up here in Canada… I always love these posts, Shay, even if I’m not able to buy any of the amazing products you share with us… I like to live vicariously through you… 😉
Mix and Match Mama says
Just a Texas girl wishing she had beautiful Canadian weather right now 😉 .
Tiff says
Please tell me you’ve tried the Protein Muffins in a cup? They come in dark chocolate or maple and are GF!
Mix and Match Mama says
Oh my gosh…yes!!!!!!!
Kristin says
Try the mini pumpkin spice ice cream cones! They are adorbs and the perfect size snack! I’m also obsessed witb those cinnamon brooms, you’d think we were a family of witches with how many we have LOL
Lauren says
Try the Maple flavored Kettle Korn (G Free) if you haven’t already. There is also a good Thanksgiving wrap (not sure what it is actually called) with turkey, stuffing, cranberry, and cream cheese which is an easy lunch. Also the tomato and roasted red pepper soup is really good.
