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.

Japchae from the frozen food section. Sweet potato glass noodles, barely cooked veggies and soy based sauce. Yum!

Those bags are cute .  Have your tried their peppermint Scrub? @SportyGirly125 

[SportyGirly125]

@CorgiMommy I did last year when they had them but didn’t really like it.

I haven't tried these yet, but they do seem to be made to be a dupe for Necessaire.  The body wash bottle is made of metal.  To be honest, the bergamot scent of this wash is way better than the Necessaire one; it seems more of a straight citrus scent, whereas the Necessaire one kind of has an off-putting scent to me.

@Ispend2much6 that's the vibe I was getting from the packaging. It seems like the same font.

Limited Edition Frick's Carver Ham.  $5.99 lb.  Boneless.  The rind is too tough to be edible, but it's lightly smoked (no asthma attacks!) and and pretty moist.  Kind of a very slightly spongy texture, like lunchmeat, but tastes better.

An easy idea using the Cowboy Caviar (comes in a jar.)

Layer chopped zucchini, black beans, boneless skinless chicken tenders, and a jar of the Cowboy Caviar in a baking dish.  Cover and bake at 350 until done.

It's really tasty.

Uncooked.

What a beautiful and delicious looking dish! So neat! @Ispend2much6 

[ragdoll4mom]

@Ispend2much6  This is delicious! and was a hit with the family  It tastes a lot like a southwest soup I make during the cooler winter months.

[Ispend2much6]

@ragdoll4mom  I'm so glad you tried and liked it!  I'm thinking of serving it with guac and yogurt next time.  I love to bake, slightly less love to cook, but anymore I just want easy, healthy things to make. Do you have any easy favorites?

[ragdoll4mom]

@Ispend2much6   Most of the meals I make take a bit of time prepare.  I can't think of any quick healthy meals at the moment.  Sometimes we just need a quick meal though.

Anyone able to get the new mini canvas tote bags?  I tried I back in April and then yesterday and today called around and they are so hard to get where I live.

@SportyGirly125 I'm hoping to run to a Trader Joes next week, I'll have to keep an eye out for all the goodies you show!

Pumpkin season is here 🎃

[CorgiMommy]

@SportyGirly125 > tried the pumpkin body scrub today, the jury is still out on that I think about it.

[Ispend2much6]

Ours didn't have many pumpkin/fall items yet, but, if you are a baker, run, run, RUN to get these vanilla beans!  They are sort of plump, soft, and have so much vanillin (the vanilla flavor inside) that they are leaking into the packages.) Only $3 for each pack of 2- an incredible deal.

And, chocolate.

[missjeanie]

@Ispend2much6 I'm not sure if it's intensified by my mid afternoon love of snacks but that chocolate bar looks amazing!
