Happy happy Monday, friends!
You guys, IT’S OCTOBER!!!
Agh! I feel like fall is already flying by. I had no intention of sharing a new Trader Joe’s haul with you today, buuuuuut there is just SO MUCH GOODNESS there right now, that I wouldn’t be doing my job as your online bestie if I didn’t show you what’s been in my cart lately. I love visiting my local TJ year around, but right now, it’s just sheer J-O-Y when I visit. I’m telling you, I’m giddy the entire time. So, if you need a little “October” in your life this Monday, look no further than right here. Make a list, check it twice, grab you a coffee and get on down to your Trader Joe’s as soon as possible. It’s the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year to shop 🙂 .
Hello, hello, come on in and shop with me!
Let’s start with this section right here…
…Butternut Squash, Honey Roasted Pumpkin and GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN Ravioli!
You better believe I bought some! If you haven’t tried their raviolis before, they keep in the freezer and are always delicious! These guys make such an easy supper on busy nights. Three cheers for g-free!
Now, I always snap a few pics of things I would love to buy buuuuut they’re not g-free, so I don’t. In case your family can enjoy gluten, you should totally grab you…
…these right here. Someone buy them, eat them and then describe them to me. If I had to guess, I would say they taste like “pure joy on a fall day in Heaven”. I’m pretty sure these are mentioned in the Bible.
So many pumpkin finds…
…from coffees to teas, caramel apples, breakfast bars…
…I have enjoyed these before and let me assure you, you will want to purchase at least two pouches.
You guys should all add these to your cart…
…and these…
…and these…
…and yes, these! That cheesecake would make an easy Thanksgiving dessert! Just keep it in the freezer until you’re ready to bake.
Oh and look at these! It’s the perfect combination of two of my favorite things!
Now, here is what I came home with last week…
…I love their soups for easy lunches! I like to add one of their wraps or salads with mine.
Speaking of which…
…I had this for lunch one day last week, and it was delicious! The cranberry salsa inside was my favorite part. It was like Thanksgiving dinner in a wrap!
I buy these every year! They’re great for snacking, on charcuterie boards and for garnishing meals.
I was excited to find these cookies! I’m not sure if they’re new or just new to me, but they come three to a package in both chocolate chunk and oatmeal raisin. My kids devoured them! I hope they’re not seasonal.
I bought this salad kit and loved it! I also bought…
…this dressing too! You guys, this is so delicious! We had this on our salad both Wednesday and Thursday last week and loved it!
I buy a bottle every single fall!
Annnnnd I buy several bottles of pumpkin butter too! This has such a great price and makes everything taste like fall. We especially love it on our waffles and/or toast in the morning.
Okay, this here is not gluten-free, but I bought it to try in a recipe (to be posted soon!). Spoiler alert: it was as amazing as it sounds.
These are unexpected and always delicious!
Shut. The. Front. Door. YESSSSSS! You know how I feel about their streusel muffins and by far, the pumpkin ones have been our very favorite!
Of course, I bought these.
Kensington and Ashby have been really into pumpkin drinks at Starbucks, and they’re both far more adventurous than me when ordering, so I bought this for them to enjoy at home. They both say it’s equally delish in their tea and coffee…and alone!
Maple marshmallows? Yes, please!
I bought this pumpkin body scrub and have used it in the tub every night. It smells fabulous and has been exfoliating my skin quite nicely.
Speaking of my skin…
…I bought this and have used it twice! Just add a little layer over your nighttime moisturizer, go to sleep and wake up with extra hydrated skin.
Also, should you need even more Trader Joe’s fall in your life, make sure you check out….
…MY FALL FAVES from 2022 as so many of the items are in stock right too! It’s double the fall fun 🙂 .
Plus…
…make sure you grab a bag of their “fall leaves” tortilla chips as well so that you can make my delicious SAUSAGE MIGAS BREAKFAST CASSEROLE!
Also…
…don’t forget that you can make my TRADER JOE’S FALL CHARCUTERIE BOARD too!
Alrighty, I’m off to go be excited that it’s October.
Happy Monday, friends! Sending you so much love! xx

Shay, you don’t put the pumpkin cheese cake in the oven 🙂 you just defrost it. BUT those pumpkin scones next to it are delish! They are small and you can break off one to bake at a time. Highly recommend!
Mix and Match Mama says
Even better! I’ve never purchased it, so that’s AMAZING to know!
Erika Slaughter says
Your love for TJ’s runs deep! You need some sort of shirt or even a pin for your loyalty! Maybe even a call from Joe himself would be nice? 😉
Emilee says
I’ve been such a fan of the maple vinaigrette dressing. Delicious! Happy Monday!
Sheaffer says
Holy Pumpkin!!! So many geat finds!
Kimbrough says
How many containers of the ravioli does it take to feed your family?
Mix and Match Mama says
Two! Andrew isn’t going to eat a lot of ravioli, so it’s just the kids and me who eat most of it.
jennibell says
Maple marshmallows??? I did not see those last time I was there – I must look for them!! Yes, three cheers for their GF muffins – and I also purchased their GF pumpkin bagels along with pumpkin cream cheese. . .TJ’s really DOES do fall right!! thanks for sharing your haul!
Amanda says
I can confirm that the pumpkin spiced Jo-Jos are amazing! SO GOOD!
I love the pumpkin butter (i bought 4 last time I was at TJ’s) and I use it to make a layered dip- you just do a layer of whipped cream cheese, a layer of pumpkin butter, layer of chopped bacon or bacon bits, layer of chopped pecans and top with scallions. Serve with cracker of your choice! SO YUMMY! My favorite fall app!
Ramona says
I think I need to make a Trader Joe’s run right now!!! Thank you so much!
Faith says
Does your skin turn orange in the Fall from all the pumpkin foods and body care? 😉 everything looks delicious! I always get overwhelmed when I go to TJ’s. I love the pepper jelly and usually eat it with cream cheese and crackers. I would love to know other ways to enjoy it.
Mix and Match Mama says
I’m in such a weird fall space that I probably would welcome an orangy glow 😉 .
Kelly says
Their pumpkin chips and leaf chips are my fave. Our local stores sold out in 2 weeks and will not be getting more in. Such sad news 🙁 The pumpkins chips are amazing with queso!
Jenny N says
I was at Trader Joe’s this weekend and they finally had delicata squash which we love!! It is the only place we can ever find it. I make “fries” out of it and it is such an easy, healthy side dish in the evenings.
JODI says
The maple ginger cookie ice cream is sooo good. You should try it. I would never have chosen that but they had it on sample years ago and YUM.
Janet says
How do you serve the pumpkin ravioli? What kind of sauce do you put on it?
Mix and Match Mama says
I have a recipe coming up where I use it! Stay tuned!!
Janet says
Can’t wait!
Andrea says
I was so happy when I found those gf pumpkin streusel muffins at our Trader Joe’s, and they did not disappoint! So good!
Mix and Match Mama says
I had another one just yesterday for breakfast. So delish!
Nicole says
Have you tried the pumpkin spice granola bark? It’s so yummy!! What kind of salad did you make for the maple dressing? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
Just a very basic one that included a mixed bag of lettuces and brussels sprouts with some of those Trader Joe’s nuts in this post and sliced apples with Parm.
Nicole says
Yum! I basically made that!! But used goat cheese and also topped it with your maple mustard chicken!! It was delish! Thanks Shay!
