I rolled into my Trader Joe's today and bumped into them stocking tons of holiday stuff! I expected some stuff, but this was full on. It was mostly returning items at my store, but a few new things, too. Still waiting on health and beauty gift sets and bigger advent calendars. Here's a sampling of…
Garlic and Asiago was a dip I could I pass up. But when I saw Hatch Chile & Jalapeño Cheese, Trader Joe's was speakin' my language. It's $4.99 for a 10 oz. package. And it's just heat and eat. My store suggested crackers on the shelf tag (for reals?!). They'd be fine, but for me,…
Today we're going inside a new trick-o-treat candy candidate -- Trader Joe's Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars. When I saw the bag online, for some reason I figured it was single serve, but no, this is a 24-piece bag of candy.
It features four varieties: Nougat Chocolate Bar (yellow), Caramel & Wafer (black), Nougat…
Not everybody goes bonkers over fall flavors, so let's do a not-pumpkin What's New at Trader Joe's this week.
First up, brigadeiros. I usually associate these little fudgy truffle-like bon bons with Brazil rather than Portugal. I've got a few thawing on the counter now. It says to let them thaw for 2 hours,…
When you get a scone at the store, it seems like there's a 75% possibility it'll be dry and chalky. Trader Joe's is solving that problem by serving up ready-to-bake pumpkin ginger scones in its frozen section. I baked up a few this morning for breakfast. And I think these are gonna be one of…
I've been on the lookout for the non-dairy Salted Caramel Hold the Cones, but they haven't turned up yet at my local. In the meantime, let's take a look at what's new at Trader Joe's this week (as spotted in the Pacific Northwest).
UNEXPECTED CHEDDAR CHEESE SPREAD WITH HATCH CHILES -- If you're a chilehead…

In the meantime, check out some other chicken nugget reviews:

One of Trader Joe's big flavors this summer is S'mores. We've seen it in the super popular S'mores Clusters and the S'mores Ice Cream. They've added one more riff on this summer favorite with Trader Joe's S'mores Bars in the freezer section.
A graham cracker crust is topped with a brownie and a spongy…
It's can't stop-won't stop in the Trader Joe's frozen treat/ice cream section this week. One of the new summer products promised on Inside Trader Joe's landed this week, as did some new canned cocktails for summer entertaining. Let's get to it.
While there are only 45 calories per bar in these Strawberry Lemonade Ice…
With Trader Joe's Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Skewers, it's all about the convenience. Ordinarily I'd make chicken skewers from scratch, but I get the value in not having to plan ahead to marinate the chicken, thread it on skewers and grill it. But then, the recommended reheat method is grilling...so I guess the savings is…
