The Trader Joe’s Thread

[SportyGirly125]

I know we have threads dedicated to specific beauty brands but I didn’t really see one dedicated or updated for all things Trader Joe’s. It could be beauty, skincare, haircare, household or grocery items. Post your finds here so others could be on a lookout of what to find or is newly released at their local store. It could also be something you think people should try. Their beauty section is so underrated and most people don’t even know they have a beauty aisle.  Their candles and seasonal items are amazing and they always have unique snacks.

@JackMorgan92 I’m pretty sure this is limited edition for the holidays and will probably sell out soon.

Ooooh interesting @SportyGirly125 ! It really seems like they are upping their skincare game this year 

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 I feel like they are too and have been buying them all.

How did y'all not tell me how AMAZING this stuff is?!

I know I'm late to the party, but I picked this up a couple of days ago and holy moly, this is bomb.  I already went back for another one because this isn't gonna last long...

[faeriegirl]

That sounds great @CookieGirl1, I’ll have to see if they have it on my next TJs trip!

[CookieGirl1]

@faeriegirl It's seriously good.  You need it.

@CookieGirl1, I picked this up on my last TJ run but haven’t had a chance to use it. Great to hear you rave about it. What have you used it with? (Getting ready to take notes…)

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi we've used it on garlic toast, popcorn, chicken, fish, eggs, even sprinkling it in/on tomato soup!  It's different than other cheese sprinkles that I've tried before, much more flavorful.

These are really good- toffee for people who can't eat nuts.  The top three ingredients, in order, are:  sugar, butter, chocolate.

The perk of having my nephew (who works at Trader Joe’s) living with me…snacks almost daily and I don’t even have to go to the store. 

that English Toffee Bites 😋 *chef’s kiss*

@AznAngelLiz That could be dangerous 😉

[Ispend2much6]

@AznAngelLiz   That is a nice arrangement!  You have great taste.

Tonight for dinner I made the Brined Bone In Half Turkey breast.  There's a lot of meat in that bag!  If we were only feeding two for Thanksgiving I would definitely consider this.  I did overcook it until it was dry because I didn't read the instructions- you only need to heat it for 40 minutes because it's already cooked via sous vide, not until it's 155 degrees or whatever the safe temperature is for turkey breast. 

The turkey is on a 14 inch dinner plate.

I made one of those last year @Ispend2much6  and it was really good!

[Ispend2much6]

@faeriegirl   How did you cook it, so I can learn from my mistake?  I dry meat out all the time.  By the way, did you happen to try the marshmallow body butter in the beauty calendar?  I'm wondering if it's worth it to buy it for that. 🙂
