Trader Joe's All Things Pumpkin and Fall Items

Cakers3 — Fri, 10 Sep 2021 18:07:08 GMT

From soup to nuts to body cream to anything you desire pumpkin-wise, including pumpkins.

There are also some seasonal items like cauliflower with butternut squash and veggie bites.

Just go to the website and everything pops up on the first page.

I am not going to list everything (despite being taken to task last year for not doing so). Y'all know how to Google.

We came back from there this morning and enjoyed seeing some old favorites and some new items.

Enjoy!

@Cakers3

Thanks for the heads up, just looked on their site, wowie you're not kidding a ton of fall stuff!

Glad to see the pumpkin Kringle is back. Can't remember exactly which fall fresh side dish item it we like, I'll go in this week and find out

Also need to pick up one of their fresh pot roasts, so easy and so good especially with the frozen mashed potato medallions.

My store shelves have been pretty empty the last two weeks. I am assuming so they have room for all the fall items coming in. I have already seen a fair amount of pumpkin/fall stuff pop up there. Sadly, while I love pumpkin a lot of the stuff doesn't appeal to me. Last year, they had a honeycrisp jam that was to die for and I was excited to see its return. I hung on to my last jar for dear life. Sadly, it is different this year.

I already grabbed some of the candles and will be grabbing a few jars of vanilla bean paste. The butternut squash mac & cheese is a must have. I am excited to try the Maple Poffertjes Mini Pancake Puffs. I looked at the Sweet Cinnamon Filled Korean Pancakes yesterday but didn't grab them. I may have to run down there later and see what they have gotten in. I live down the street and stop several times a week. 🤣🤣🤣

@Cakers3 Thanks for the heads-up! I'll definitely be jumping online to check it out! I can use Shipt for delivery if I can't get over there. Anything you're buying again you liked last season? We just had a new market open by me called Fresh Thyme that I need to check out.

@HonestLife We like the Pumpkin Butter on English muffins.

The chocolate stirring sticks were not in stock yet but the grandkids love those so we have to check it out again.

The Pumpkin Torilla chips are pretty good.

We didn't care for the squash spirals (frozen) or the butternut pasta frozen dinner (I think it was butternut) so passed on by.

The Autumn Harvest soup in a jar is good.

I bought the Pumpkin Bread/Muffin mix again to have on hand.

There are also spiced pumpkin seeds that were good but they were not out yet.

And of course life would have no meaning without Pumpkin Cheesecake. LOL

I went last week and kept my eye out for the pumpkin bread mix but none spotted yet. That’s my must have 🎃 item for muffins.

@MG Chris I saw the Korean Pancakes but didn't have time to check them out.

We'll be back, though. LOL

The vanilla bean paste is very good. A dab when making whipped cream. I don't use sugar in my whipped cream but like a bit of vanilla.

@MG Chris Vanilla Bean is my favorite ice cream. We do not have access to a Trader Joe's, but I am curious. How do you use Vanilla Bean paste? It sounds like something I would love to try.

I've got Pumpkin Curry Simmer Sauce and maybe Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce on my list.

The only pumpkin thing I want is the pumpkin spice muffins Costco carries during the fall months. Last time I was there they didn't have them yet. Will be going in a couple of days and keep my fingers crossed. The best, by far, of any pumpkin spice thing I have found. They are huge, so I cut them in half and only eat one half. I think pumpkin spice everything is too much. Pumpkin spice shaving cream...really?

@tucsongal They had some things early this week before the website postings but only the body cream and I think the tortilla chips.

Today they had most everything but are still waiting on some items, not all pumpkin flavored, though.

Once the website updates with the new items the stores are usually pretty well stocked so your store might be in better shape now.

I sub it ifor regular vanilla in a lot of my baking. I love it and think it makes such a difference. I use it tsp for tsp.

i ran to TJ's this afternoon. My store had more stuff in stock than yesterday. I grabbed two vanilla bean paste. The pumpkin muffin mix was in stock today.

the clerk told me they weren't able to get a lot of the traditional things/recipes had to change this year due to supply issues.

Fresh Thyme is awesome. Download the app and set up an account. As time goes on they will learn your shopping habits and send coupons geared towards those items.

@Cakers3 Thanks for this. I always find out about the pumpkin items too late, being seasonal once they're gone that's it.

@Jordan2 I check the website now instead of waiting for the Fearless Flyer.

In fact, I haven't seen the Flyer in a few weeks.

People had their grocery carts fairly full with pumpkin items.

We noticed the apple cinnamon donuts stacked up on the way in and they were gone by the time we arrived at the register. Not a fan of donuts but I knew those were also out for the fall.

Hope you can get some items you enjoy.

The candles were also gone today. I'm sure there will be more but people were really buying up a storm.

I had to look up Fresh Thyme-looks like they are only in certain areas in the north. I'd try them if they were local to me.

I also never heard of Shipt but they do not do TJ's here. Only a few stores.

Ugh..just realized I typed "by me". That's a Chicago thing we say. I meant "near me". I try really hard not to type how I speak. At any rate, I'm thrilled to see all of these scrumptious items at TJ and to try Just Thyme. I'll let you know what I try and think.

I stopped in Trader Joe's tonight and they were out of the pumpkin items I wanted, like the waffles and other things. I did pick up the torillas and the vanilla paste. I like the pumpkin items, but I dont like all things pumpkin. I went late in the evening so hopefully they will have some things tomorrow.

They also have a pumpkin spice creme liquour. I didnt find it, but it sounds interesting.
