If you've rolled through Trader Joe's in the last week, you know they're in overdrive on the holiday items. Even my latest trip, post Thanksgiving, was mostly for holiday stuff, not staples. Among them, Trader Joe's Pfeffernüsse Cookie Mix.

The Flip Side by James Bailey has so many elements of the best rom-coms -- a memorable meet cute, the search, the airport dash, supportive friends, but the big thing its missing is an MC to root for.
After a disastrous wedding proposal, which also causes him to lose…
The biggest thing Trader joe's Bulgogi Beef Fried Rice with Kimchi has going for it is its convenience. You literally open the bag, dump it in a hot non-stick skillet and cook it for 7 minutes. But that's about all I can say for it.
As someone who makes fried rice a lot --…
With everything looking a little different this holiday season, there's no reason you absolutely have to have turkey for Thanksgiving. Of course, Trader Joe's does have a Turkey en Croute, so it's an option. But for me, I went for the beef. Trader Joe's Beef en Croute is basically a Beef Wellington -- tenderloin wrapped…
We have reached that point in the year where it's literally impossible to keep up with all the holiday goodies hitting shelves at Trader Joe's. That's in a non-COVID year. I'm shopping once a week, so it's sort of luck of the draw on what's in, and I'm mostly focusing on what's new this…

Trader Joe's has another winner on their hands in the canned sparkling juice department. If you've been a regular TJ's shopper this year, you might have picked up watermelon, strawberry, or black tea with peach juice. And now, Trader Joe's Sparkling Honeycrisp Apple Juice joins the lineup.
I don't know about you, but Honeycrisps…
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday items are starting to hit Trader Joe's stores this week. Old favorites are back including almond nog, egg nog, Amarena cherries, and Cocoa Peppermint Almond Creamer. Even advent calendars (dog, cat and human!) are already on shelves. Along with them, we've got…
Not that anyone in the US is doing much flying these days, but I gotta tell ya, those little bags of snack mix are pretty much a let down. Weird little Ranch-flavored thingies, honey roasted sesame sticks, maybe a couple of tiny pretzels. I'll usually pass. Now, if flights in the States had Trader Joe's…
