It’s a TRADER JOE’S TUESDAY!
Each month, these Trader Joe’s Hauls are some of your favorites. In August, September, and October, it was the #1 post of the month 🙂 . I love them too! I never walk into a Trader Joe’s without a pep in my step, and I never leave without something delicious.
As I’ve mentioned before, this time of year is when I have to try reallllllly hard to practice some self-control. I want to put everythinnnnnnng in my cart. I go to Trader Joe’s at least once a week, so you would think I would become immune to its dazzling array of seasonal fare but no. It gets me every single time.
With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, right now, Trader Joe’s is at its FINEST. You get all the flavors of both fall and Christmas in each stop. Pumpkin, cranberry, maple, cinnamon, peppermint, mocha, egg nog, oh my! It’s all there in store right now.
Here’s a little NOVEMBER HAUL to prove it…
If you need a pie and don’t want to bake one, the Trader Joe’s bakery is brimming with pies right now.
(Side note, I am also sharing a THANKSGIVING PIE RECIPE today too!).
I am SUCH a pie person.
I also thought these looked delish…
…as I am also a CORN PERSON too 😉 . These would be excellent with a bowl of chili!
If you like to give the gift of chocolate during the holiday season…
…Trader Joe’s has so many different options!
Speaking of options…
…there are so many gingerbread options in store right now. I love me some gingerbread!
Alrighty, here is what came home with me on my last trip (minus the things I show you all the time and/or normal produce/meat/dairy provisions)…
…the winter seasonal sparkling waters are some of my very favorite!
I do believe this is a *new* gingerbread house kit. This one looked extra adorable!
You guys, are these new too?! I don’t ever remember seeing them in store before. THEY ARE DELICIOUS!
Speaking of which…
…my all time very favorite Joe-Joes are back. They also have…
….a gluten-free version in stores too!
I can’t ever resist buying at least one box of these each season. These are decadent, delightful little bites.
My kids love these little waffles. They always have new, seasonal flavors. This time, they had chocolate chip!
Yup. I bought an entire box.
Looky, looky, I bought three tins of…
…Jingle Jangle! Woohoo! It’s out earlier this year than normal, and I’m oh so excited about it.
I also bought…
…some little snack sized Jingly Jangly and English Toffee Bites too. These are lunchbox/snack sized.
Anyone else absolutely love horseradish?! We are big, big fans. These chips are delicious!
Speaking of chips…
…the Thanksgiving chips are back! Every bite tastes like stuffing. They’re savory little delicious bites. I don’t particularly love Thanksgiving food, but I love these chips 🙂 .
My kids love chicken shawarma, so I grabbed some of these microwaveable bowls. These are new!
I always get excited when I see…
…the seasonal cranberry white stilton back in stores! This is excellent on a charcuterie board!
I *think* these are new…
…we really love mushrooms over here, so I bought a bag of these. They come frozen. Read the back…
…sounds simple enough for a quick side, right?!
Sheaffer texted me over the weekend and told me I MUST buy this…
…and as you know, we all do what Sheaffer tells us to 😉 . It’s DELICIOUS!
How cute are these raviolis?! They’re red and green!
My three girls LOVE anything charcuterie, so I bought a few of these for their lunches and/or snacking.
Now, I hope Andrew Shull has stopped reading today’s post because he just mentioned to me YESTERDAY that we needed to stop buying so many “coffee fixings”. He said it looked like the girls in our house were “nesting in the fridge” with coffee things…
…but I bought this. Ha! My girls love making fun coffee drinks at home, so I couldn’t resist this creamer.
Two seasonal apple salads, check!
These frozen breakfast bowls are new! This is such an easy breakfast for my kids to heat up.
Speaking of my kids…
…they love when I buy pretzel buns for their sandwiches.
I always buy this relish during the Thanksgiving season. I love the little addition of orange in it. It’s really good on a charcuterie board too!
You know what else pairs really well with charcuterie?
MULLED WINE! I love, love mulled wine! Just heat and enjoy!
As you know, I love me a butter cookie…and right now, they have cranberry ones!
Speaking of cranberry…
…right now, Trader Joe’s has cranberry ginger beer which would make a very festive holiday Moscow Mule!
And finally…
…I always, always buy a tin or two. These are delicious all season long.
And that’s my NOVEMBER HAUL!
What are you currently LOVING from Trader Joe’s? We would all love to know!
Please comment and share 🙂 .
I’ll see you back here tomorrow, friends. xx
Jessica says
I have no idea if it’s new or not but the Unexpected Cheddar Spread Holiday Cheer feels like something that you would love. We got it a week ago and it did not disappoint!
I can’t wait to get some of the candy cane Jo Joe’s for my six year old. He is very into peppermint chocolate Luna bars and so I feel like those will be a fantastic treat! 😋
Mix and Match Mama says
I love the Unexpected Cheddar, but I haven’t purchased this holiday cheer version. Thank YOU!
Kay says
I second this-I look forward to the Cheddar/Holiday spread all year! The only downside is it’s a smaller container this year-buy more! :). The English muffin breakfast sandwiches (sausage/egg/cheese) are also AMAZING and run out quickly. Not the one where the egg is the bread though! It’s the one with English muffins.
Beth Valenta says
Love all of these fun items! Some of my favs now are the almond crossaints in freezer section, snagged a new poinsetta sparkling wine for holiday and cranberry wine, and of course dog advent calendars!
Val says
Two of my favorites this time of year are the cinnamon Toscano cheese cheese and candy cane almonds!
Mix and Match Mama says
I am OBSESSED with the candy cane almonds! I haven’t seen them yet, but I will buy several bags (last year they were in bags?) as soon as I do!
Natalie B. says
I saw them in my Trader Joe’s yesterday in a seasonal section! Also, my current obsession (I’m pretty sure they’re seasonal) is the maple spiced nut mix. I can’t quit them!!
Sheaffer says
When I was in last week and bought the dip that is maybe my favorite dip I’ve EVER had, they had some of those corn muffins as samples. They tasted more like cake to me than cornbread, but dang they were good!
Elspeth Mizner says
I always use your posts as a guide when i go shopping! I need to stash some jingle
Jangle!

Lori R says
My favorite posts!
Bren says
So many good finds! This time, while reading, I made a list on my phone of things I want (hope!) to try next time I am at Trader Joe’s so I won’t forget what I want to try! We have a “Framily” game night coming up and I now have a festive idea for mules and so many great ideas for a charcuterie board. Thanks, Shay!
Lori Bittenbender says
Oh I sure hope my local Trader Joes has the snack sized Jingly Jangly! So fun for stocking stuffers and college care package!!
Andrea says
Making my list now! I always appreciate your suggestions!
Juliet says
Now I would like to leave work and run to TJ! 😊. In addition to some seasonal items I will be buying their Christmas wreaths when they arrive in my store!
Leigh says
You know I always add your TJ posts to my list! My TJ’s has been out of the large baking bars for weeks and said it’s a national issue. Does yours have them?/
Mix and Match Mama says
Hmmmm…I will pay attention when I go this week. I’m not sure?
Cheryl says
The Trader Joe’s Garlic Butter Irish Potato Chips are the best potato chips I have ever had. I highly recommend purchasing multiple bags — they are that good. FYI: The bags are on the smaller size (5.5 oz.).
Alison says
I am (im)patiently waiting for their Blue Cheese Roasted Pecan dip. It’s my favorite seasonal dip! I think it usually makes its appearance in November. Love that the peppermint/candy cane stuff is already on the shelves. Thank you for sharing your haul!
Mix and Match Mama says
Do I know of such dip?! I don’t recall this one?! It sounds DIVINE!
Hope says
TJ usually has a cranberry bar/cookie during this time of year. Its divine and is similar to the cranberry bliss bar at Starbucks. My dad loves a sweet treat with his nightly coffee and said it was the perfect size and sweetness.I know they have them in the store as late as mid-January.
Mix and Match Mama says
I will be on the lookout for these too!
DawnMarie says
EXCEPT:
Where’s the Peppermint Bark 😭
Andrea says
You and Kensington got me hooked on the mini peppermint meringues years ago after one of your Trader Joe’s holiday posts. You said Kensington thought they tasted like the air at the North Pole(they really do), and I think about that every time I eat one!
Mix and Match Mama says
I think about that comment too!! Those are so delicious!
Elizabeth Visco says
When are more miniature canvas bags into for seasonal personal user sizes & add a zip top better by choices? There’s websites on META by seller for canvas bigger sizes shopping , or at stores ?
Robin says
The dressing that comes with the Harvest apple salad is the bomb. I had purchased the bottled apple cider dressing earlier this fall, but I don’t think they are quite the same. Unfortunately, I live over an hour away from the nearest Trader Joes…darn!
Melinda Siscoe says
I’ve forgotten the name of the seasonal dip I buy every year. Does anyone know which one I’m talking about???
