What is truly sad is deciding how others spend their own money and judging them because you do not approve of their purchases.

No one is required to buy food here. If you have access to and enjoy TJ's, great!, but not everyone can or wants to purchase from Add to Wish List there.

The OP, GLOBEGRL, did none of those things. She simply shared factual information for those who may find it helpful. Thanks, OP...

I am glad if you ladies are enjoying the Trader Joe's Kringles. Wish I did because the cost savings IS substantial.

Trader Joe's does NOT publish where the products originate from. Only that they 'distribute' it. The FDA does not require them to do so...even from foreign destinations. The problem w/ Trader Joe's is that you have NO idea where it is made. This has been a topic of a previous thread. They refuse to divulge where the item comes from.

I have purchased the Pumpkin Kringle from Trader Joe's. It is delicious. The Q prices on some of their food items is quite high, IMO. That doesn't mean if you like some of their items you can't buy them. The OP was just stating the difference in price. Will go back and get the Almond one too. I did ask where they are from and TJ's told me Racine. There is also a OH dutch bakery in Racine, Wisconsin and they too sell Kringles. Have had theirs too.

I live in the kringle capital of Racine, WI! O&H Bakery here in Racine has the best kringles, other brands do not compare. My daughter lives in Denver and she said Trader Joe's does sell O&H kringle she actually sent me a picture and was thrilled to get them. O&H has a website that you can order kringle but I think the shipping can be quite high.

O&H is a Danish bakery as are most of the other kringle makers in Racine. They have their main bakery and the Danish Uncle Store which is a smaller bakery and deli type store. Their are several other Danish bakeries in town, too. All good.

I don't think anyone was belittling the choice or ability of some to purchase here or locally; i think the issue the OP had is the price that the Q decides to sell the kringles.

If you choose to purchase it and you don't mind paying that amount, then it really doesn't matter what anyone thinks, no?

It is a rather inflated price, though, in my opinion. I would imagine if anyone saw that price at a local store for the same item, people would have the same reaction, either way.

I totally agree on all your points. Sometimes I read these replies and I ask myself, "did I miss something?" Lol! It was just an observation, certainly didnt seem like a judgement to me.

If you are near a trader joes, pick one up there, I saw they had them, $7.99, and they are GREAT,got one yesterday!!!

I bought 2 of the Trader Joes Kringle this week and since I had company over last night I put it in the oven and we loved it! Delicious. What a great price too. I hope to pick up more before they sell out.

I bought one at TJ yesterday and brought it visit a friend. It was better than the pumpkin. It was pretty big. I plan to buy another - cut it in thirds- freeze some and eat some. Too tempting to just leave it out beckoning to me. It will be shoved in the back of the freezer (harder to reach lol

Tried the pumpkin one first, and more recently the almond. I much preferred the almond. And yes, the brand that TJs carries is O&H. And definitely one of the traditional Kringle bakers, from what I understsnd. Worth trying out if you have a TJs near you.
