Happy happy Monday, friends!
I hope you are in a REALLY FALL mood because today is my…

…woohoo!
You guys, this time of year, going to Trader Joe’s is super challenging for me. You have no idea how much self-control I have to use. I legit walk around saying to myself “you don’t need that, you don’t need that” because I want to add ALL OF IT to my cart. All of it.
If you don’t frequent Trader Joe’s much, let me encourage you to do so this time of year. Between now and Christmas, it is just the absolute BEST time to visit.
By the time you’re finished reading this post, I have a feeling you’re going to want to head there ASAP too.
First a few pics of things I didn’t buy but wanted to share with you…

I didn’t buy either of these things…but I have in the past and probably will again soon (like this week!). They’re both so good!
The bakery section of Trader Joe’s is PUMPKIN HEAVEN right now…

See? Too much deliciousness for one trip!

Ugh, my heart. Looking at pumpkins is basically the same as looking at your newborn baby…only maybe even a little bit better 😉 .
Here’s a sampling of what has been coming home with me…

…okay, we agreed that this is our favorite popcorn to date from Trader Joe’s! This one is CRAZY good!

A few times, I’ve had a piece with my afternoon coffee. What is not to love?!
They did it again…

…it’s a new flavor of their rolled chips! As you know, the “original” ones (spicy lime) are our absolute fave, but these are #2! Really good!

An obvious “add to cart”.

Each fall, I go through at least two jars of pumpkin pie spice, so I am constantly stocking up.

Did I suggest burgers for dinner last week just so I could try this? Yes, yes, I did. If you love their hot honey products, buy two bottles of this mustard!

I bought one of these refrigerated protein bars for obvious reasons…pumpkin pie flavored! It is a creamy peanut buttery-pumpkin flavor that I really liked.

I always get my girlies beauty products from Trader Joe’s. Kensington claimed this lip mask while Ashby and Mades each claimed…

…one of these body butters.

I buy this every fall. What won’t I do with this?! It’s great for just drinking (obviously), but I also add it to so many recipes too.

Now this was delicious! I hope they bring it back every fall!

I always grab this each fall!

I love Trader Joe’s snack mixes and huge selection of dried fruits and nuts. This tin is the best of all of it and tastes like I imagine the state of Vermont would taste. Ha!

Let’s gooooooooo! I bought four cans!

My kiddos love to heat these up for breakfasts and snacks. They have original ones year around and then introduce seasonal ones throughout the year. Clearly, we had to buy the pumpkin version!

Run don’t walk to grab this! When I was checking out, my crew member told me he had already heard this was the fastest selling Trader Joe’s item this month. It’s so good!

Did I buy an entire box? Yes.
Am I mad at myself that I didn’t buy four boxes? Yes. I am.

I thought this little butter was fun! It’s great spread on top of a…

…toasted pumpkin waffle!

Easy addition to my kids’ lunches and/or snacks for school.

The box looks different this year on the outside, but it’s the same delicious and festive cookie on the inside 🙂 .

I buy a jar (or two!) of this salsa every year. I added a big dollop to my chicken tortilla soup just Wednesday night!

If Trader Joe’s is selling a seasonal jar or spread, I am buying it…

…this one would be excellent on top of ice cream!
And of course, of course, of course, I bought…

…their pumpkin butter too!

We are big Bluey people over here, so I had to buy this string cheese!
Speaking of cheese…

…have you ever seen three better words put together than Spicy Buffalo Cheddar? I think not.

Ashby drank this on the way to school the other morning and gave it two thumbs up.

This pumpkin gnocchi is always delicious and makes for a quick dinner or easy side!
As does…

And finally…

…of course 🙂 .
And that’s my SEPTEMBER TRADER JOE’S HAUL!
Alrighty, what are you currently loving from Trader Joe’s and/or most excited to see arrive in stores this season? Please comment and share!
Have the best start to your week, friends! I’ll see you in the morning. xx
