The one near me has tons of pumpkin offerings as usual.

I just finished their pumpkin waffles for breakfast this morning.  I practiced restraint on their famous pumpkin cheesecake though.

No pumpkin cheesecake here @Caaareful Shopper. I am better off, I would be the only one eating it.

Good idea @cherry, but all my friends are cutting back too. Way too many temptations this time of year. Forget those Christmas cookies, this is my time of year to gain pounds.....love pumpkin.

@panda1234  I'm right with you.  I have to pass up that cheescake since I would be the only one eating it. 

I used to live in Brooklyn for a while, one mile from Junior's Cheescake.  After work, at least three times a week, I'd walk to Junior's after getting off the subway, eat a slice (they are cut huge in the restaurant!), and walk that mile home.  Since I also walked all over NY just to get to & from work everyday, I never gained an ounce.  Twenty years later, and living in northern VA now.  One whiff of cheescake and I'm eating no-dressing salad for a week.

The one near me seems to have an overabundance of pumpkin products this year. Or maybe it just appears that way to me since i don't like and won't eat anything pumpkin or pumpkin spice flavored.

yes, last year they had a big almost festive display of all the pumpkin stuff in one section this year not

Our TJ'S has the usual pumpkin items - maybe try calling before you head over.  I know where I live the seasonal speciality items go fast!

Speaking of trader joes, any body tried the turkey breast that is wrapped in a pastry, i think it comes with cranberry sauce,and rice?

My guess is that it is a fad that has pretty much been run into the ground, stores got stuck with a lot of it last year, and aren't carrying as  much this year.  

Come to think of it, I haven't seen and heard about it day and night as in recent seasons.   I will admit I am no lover of pumpkin, so maybe I just don't notice it.

I'm surprised you didn't find anything "pumpkin" at your TJs.  There were lots of items at mine, particularly on all the end caps.
