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.

@ragdoll4mom, the Harvest Blend Tea is fantastic! My favorite tea from Trader Joe’s. I stock up every year.

@Kim888, for me, Harvest Blend is far better than pumpkin tea. If I had to pick one, easy choice - harvest blend all the way!! 

[Kim888]

@itsfi You were so right btw!! The autumn harvest tea is so much better than the pumpkin! I already ended up picking up a second box ! 

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 I bought it a couple weeks ago but haven’t tried it yet. 

[Kim888]

@itsfi @Ohh thanks! I’ll try it next time - usually I love pumpkin stuff but the tea tasted weird to me 

[itsfi]

Same @Kim888, same. When it first came out, the pumpkin tea seemed fine to me but I picked it up again another year and thought “nope.” It’s been harvest blend for me ever since.

@ragdoll4mom @Have you tried the pumpkin tea? Wondering how it compares because I bought the pumpkin but I don’t really like it 

[ragdoll4mom]

@Kim888 I'm not into the pumpkin craze so I haven't tried the pumpkin tea.  I highly recommend the Harvest Blend Tea.  The good thing about Trader Joe's is that they encourage you to return things you do not like.  I'm not one to make returns unless I buy something that is spoiled or damaged, but have had several crew members state their return policy.

@ragdoll4mom @Good point ! I will look for it next time I’m there !

Yay you finally found the mini brooms @SportyGirly125 !

The first small fall haul.  The caramel chips are definitely salty.  The flavor is really strong; I'm not sure what I can use them for.  I was going to use them for oatmeal cookies, but maybe blondies will be better.  The chocolate bloomed already; not very fresh.  And, it says semisweet, but they taste like dark chocolate (and I like dark chocolate, but these are darker than most semi-sweet.)

Yay it’s fun when all the baking stuff comes back @Ispend2much6 !

[Kim888]

Fall haul!!! I love when all their fall goodies hit the shelves - the only thing they don’t have yet at mine that I really wanted are the pumpkin bagels ! 

I am very excited for the new French onion focaccia bread - it smells amazing through the packing ! 

 

[Ispend2much6]

@Kim888  I was thinking the same thing today!  I made a trip there on Friday, today, and probably tomorrow (the motherload of items might be in then, as they were supposed to be ordered on Monday.)

I'm glad you mentioned the onion focaccia; I didn't know about that one.

[Kim888]

@Ispend2much6 @Definitely worth getting, I had a piece yesterday and it’s so good! 

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 Mine didn't have the Pumpkin bagels but had the broomsticks.  Still waiting on the mini sticks.

[Kim888]

@SportyGirly125 Mine just must have lucked out with the mini broomstick delivery. My friend goes to another tjs in our city and they don’t have them yet either! So random!
