They probably do.

I don't shop at Trader Joe's, but I've seen all the pumpkin stuff starting to creep into the grocery stores.

@flickerbulb this topic came up on another thread so I have just checked the TJ website and it still has the August Flyer. My guess is the pumpkin related products will start to show up sometime this week.

I have a Trader Joe's addiction to their Cinnamon Coffee cakes, but they are often sold out when i go. I found out that they only get 2-4 cakes each day.

After talking to staff, I learned that TJs will set aside items and hold them for you!

So now, i call a couple of days in advance and reserve a few things that tend to sell out. They keep them in the back and i go in and pick them up.

I put them in the freezer and i am a happy camper! Love TJs!

I wanted to add that they had mums in the flower section. I bought a cute, small purple mum on Saturday.

I was there yesterday, looking for pumpkin goodies, and I didn't see a single pumpkin item in yet. I was very disappointed. I used to live surrounded by TJ's so stopping by was no problem, but now there are only two, both of them 30 minutes drive or more.

Call and ask. I shop there once a month, but not this month yet. Friendly clerks, ask.

Someone posted that Target has gotten a lot of pumkins items in.

I asked this question on a TJ Facebook page...nothing yet.

My all time favorite is the pumpkin bread pudding...we save a few for later in the year.

... pumpkin JoJos, pumpkin cookie butter, pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin spice k cups (I am just finishing last fall's).

Can you tell that I LOVE pumpkin?

I found Pumpkin Pie Tolani Gelato at Wegmans - FANTASTIC!!!

@terrier3 I LOVE the pumpkin bread pudding! The punpkin waffles were good too, and the pumpkin kringle.

I popped in to the one near us Saturday and they hadn't gone into Pumpkin mode yet. I think it begins around mid September and by Oct 1 it's Pumpkin everything. This year I won't be partaking in Pumpkin fever but I do love my Pumpkin Spice coffee so I bought a big bottle of sugar free Pumpkin Spice syrup. I think it work well with my vanilla protein shakes too.

terrier3 — Mon, 05 Sep 2016 16:54:14 GMT

I just remembered a few more favorites - pumpkin croissants (I didn't see them last year though) and and two great mizes - pumpkin corn bread and pumpkin bars.

Last year the Pumpkin JoJos came mid-September and by Oct. 1st they were gone for good!

For those who like TJs Pumpkin Spice coffee, when the stores run out (as they inevitably do), San Francisco Bay Coffee Co has delicious Pumpkin Spice coffee, both ground and K-cups. I drink it from Sept through April.

@terrier3 What section is the pumpkin bread pudding in? It sounds wonderful.

Edited to say: Never mind. I just Googled it and see that it's in the frozen section.

@flickerbulb,you're lucky that your Trader Joes' will reserve items for you. Not pumpkin related, but they have cauliflower rice frozen in a bag. With the craze of cauliflower they don't put it out, you have to ask for it and there was a limit of 2. Last time I went (I haven't in some time) the limit was now 1 bag! I refuse to go there every few days just to get the cauliflower rice.
