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.
The kids opened their peppermint creams today. A lot of the formulation has changed. The peppermint candies on top are now naturally colored; white and purple instead of white and red. They taste funny.
The texture of the fondant has also changed. It's gluey; tastes and feels like Colgate.
If I'd known this earlier, I would have asked for a sample before buying. One of the few items I plan on returning.
Japchae from the frozen food section. Sweet potato glass noodles, barely cooked veggies and soy based sauce. Yum!
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.
Holiday beauty products are being stocked. I think this is the best 12 days of beauty kit they’ve done.

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.
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.
