There's a Shrimp Version, Too
Summer rolls, spring rolls, fresh rolls, whatever you call them, they're delish. Trader Joe's Spring Rolls come in two varieties: tofu and shrimp. But because I was a little leery about shrimp, I went with the tofu version. Two to a package for $5.49, they come with a cashew dipping…
If you agree that Trader Joe's Mini Tacos are a shadow of their former selves, I've got something that's going to fill that hole in your heart. Trader Joe's Empanadas de Ropa Vieja.
Now, of course, empanadas are their own thing entirely. They're not tacos. They're more like hand pies. I usually think of…
Hot on the heels of its 2023 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar hitting stores, Trader Joe's is serving up new holiday-themed body scrubs and body butters. Along with some returning holiday health and beauty regulars.
Trader Joe's made a slight tweak with its Brazil Nut Body Trio, making it a three item…
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…
