Trader Joe’s Products I Bought – October 2022

Looking for the best Trader Joe’s products? Today I’m sharing all the items I bought and loved this month from Trader Joe’s!

If you ask me, this is the most wonderful time of the year for shopping at Trader Joe’s. If fall flavors are your favorite, Trader Joe’s products don’t disappoint. I did a full roundup of the best pumpkin products this year, so be sure to check that out! If you’re looking for what’s hitting the shelves this month and what caught my eye, today’s post is for you.

Trader Joe’s Products I Bought – October 2022

White Truffle Potato Chips – If you want something savory, oh my gahhh! You need these. They’re the perfect addition to just eat on their own, but I also think they’d be great added to a charcuterie board.

Pumpkin Maple Bacon Treats – Our Trader Joe’s didn’t have these, but my mom picked them up for her Lab, so keep your eyes peeled!

French Onion Focaccia – Does this really even need explaining? Good luck trying not to eat the whole thing at once.

Mozzarella Sticks – Dane says these are the best ones he’s had. I just put them in the broiler to make them extra crispy! An obvious game day treat 🙂

Cinnamon Roll Drizzled Granola – I’m a snacker all day long so I like to have stuff like this on hand that is easy to grab. I will say, this has a bit more sugar in it than I like, but it would be a good treat!

Vanilla Pumpkin Candle – I cannot get enough of this scent! It’s not overly pumpkin-y and if you do like it, stock up. It sells out really fast!

Pumpkin Chipotle Roasting Sauce – A bit of this, some chicken breasts and time in the oven is all you need for a super easy meal. Shred the chicken and enjoy over salad or on tacos. It would also be really good over rice!

Brown Sugar Non-Dairy Oat Creamer – This isn’t new, but I can’t get enough of it. It’s especially good with the pumpkin coffee!

Autumn Maple Coffee Cups – I haven’t tried these yet, but they’re at-the-ready for me to enjoy with the creamer above. If these pods are anything like the pumpkin ones, they’re a safe bet this season.

Peanut Butter Caramel Coated Popcorn – I saw someone post these on Instagram and I knew immediately I needed to try them!

Pumpkin Tortilla Chips – I had these a few years back and they were a no-brainer. They are especially good in taco salad!

Pumpkin Biscotti – Another purchase my mom found this month that didn’t grace the shelves of my store 🙁 She said they’re very good with coffee and not too sweet.

Honeycrisp Apple Candle – Dane picked this out! It smells EXACTLY like a fresh apple. No surprises!

Hashbrowns – Our store rarely has these in stock, so when they do I like to get a couple. They’re perfect for breakfasts at home. We are trying to save some money, so instead of going out for breakfast (our favorite) it’s nice to have these on hand. They crisp up really well in the broiler!

Spooky Cats and Bats – These are a seasonal MUST. They’re the best sour gummies that Trader Joe’s makes. Just trust me. 

Skull Planters – How cute are these?! If we weren’t moving soon, I’d stock up. I love plants!

Cinnamon Bun Spread – All I’m going to say is spread this on homemade French toast made with Challah bread. Add whipped cream and thank me later.

Maple Vinaigrette Dressing – I plan on using this for a kale salad with sweet potatoes and pomegranate seeds! I think it will bring all my favorite fall flavors together.

Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese Bites – These are so damn good. Dane and I ate the entire box in one sitting while watching football. They crisp up really nicely in the oven and we dipped them in a garlic aioli. 

And…that’s it! This month  was a big haul and I’m fine with that because as far as I’m concerned, it’s eating season. The weather has quickly turned from hot to cold and it seems like winter is imminent (please oh please let us have more sunny days!). But – cold weather means good snacks and hearty meals, I guess 😉

See you next month!
