Take a butter knife place it under the lid and lift. You will hear a pop and the top will open. Works every time. My grandpa taught me this trick

[@crystal112204]

Hit the jar from the bottom with your hand

[@asmrcalmingvibes]

Exactly what I said and do!! Works EVERY TIME

[@susansimpson5857]

A spoon works too

[@beaglenglund]

Or...turn the jar upside down and hit it flat a time or two against a hard surface like the kitchen floor. That works too--it breaks the seal.

[@ninas6060]

Natasha, you can slip the tip of a butter knife under the lid and lift until the lid burps or unseals and it will twist right off! Those Trader Joe lids are super hard sometimes !

[@natashaslist]

Thank you!

[@eg1197]

Michelle is sweet and personable. Love her window sill filled with all her plants 🪴. Thank for your weekly haul. Ube ice cream sounds yumyum.

[@natashaslist]

You are so welcome

[@joannajanas1746]

Vinegar keeps bacteria at bay. Also, you can add a shot of vodka to the water to make the flowers last longer

[@natashaslist]

Thank you!

[@msaddicted2utube]

Warm water opens flowers. That’s why florist leave arrangements in coolers, so the flowers can stay closed as long as possible :) I’m going to try the dawn/apple cider hack. Thank you!

[@user-cj7zg8fu9m]

Use the tip of a spoon like you would use a bottle opener. It will help the lid to pop

[@jazzbeaux6154]

When they're vacuum sealed like that I use a flat head screwdriver under the lid to release the seal. 83 year old grandma with weak hands here. 🙂

[@johannagordon7439]

For Grip- I use textured rubber gloves or put a thick rubber band around the lid, if that doesn't work I run it under hot water because that will make the glass shrink.

[@natashaslist]

Thanks!

[@beaglenglund]

I think TJ's Pronto had been their separate alcohol/wine store, since you can't buy alcohol in grocery stores in NY. But there wss some issue about unionizing, so TJ's closed it and turned it into a mini food store. Some are disappointed, and i don't know where they find TJ wines in NYC now. (I'm sending this from CA where 🍷is ubiquitous at TJ's.)

[@natashaslist]

I am aware of this now! Thank you!

[@joeyjonesSoCal]

Jam is more like a fruit preserve, meaning you see the pieces of whole fruit in there, whereas jelly is clear and is made with only the juice of the fruit.

[@natashaslist]

Thanks for this!

[@LuvTaylorSwift0830]

I can’t wait to try the new everything but the bagel cheese and the cherry jam! I love when you do hauls with other people. :)

[@natashaslist]

Hope you like those!

[@carlalamar6193]

Love the friendship between the two of you...😊

[@yvetteyasui]

Michelle - literally wearing Ube hoodie, and trying Ube for the first time! 💜 Michelle is so cute and sweet. You didn't ask me: cut all leaves off of flowers for professional lewk arrangement; carrying a bag of TJ 's home in NYC is real life; thanks for sharing about Pronto - hopefully it will funnel the NYU students from the regular TJ's next door to pronto so that citizens of NYC can do shop at TJ 's 😊

[@natashaslist]

Right?! Ube hoodie to match! Thanks for the flower advice!

[@jaciecarter7482]

I learned from a florist to only use about 1 to 2 inches of water and to also remove the leaves. Another florist suggested 1 tsp of sprite and 1 tsp of bleach to keep your flowers last longer.

[@natashaslist]

Thanks for sharing!

[@christinesnowberger2707]

Natasha - jam is made with whole fruit and jelly is made with juice! 😀

[@tara1638]

Add arnica to the flowers water. They’ll last longer.

[@natashaslist]

Good idea!

[@noelle78]

Boston's store has a banner saying it is the smallest of the stores, with " the biggest heart" so it must really be the second tiniest after NYC's Pronto, and the smallest one with full inventory. Boston's doesnt lack anything, but there's no space to walk because it's all products, so everyone shops single file in this urban basement shop hippy congo line and it's my happy place

[@natashaslist]

Love it so much!

[@annamoore3255]

Use a spoon to pop the lid! 😊

[@natashaslist]

Thanks!

[@sylviaasebedo5370]

Put the jar in the sink and run hot water on it. The hot water will expand the lid. Dry it and you will be able to open it. It works with all glass jars with metal lids.

[@natashaslist]

Thank you!

[@pennylane428]

Natasha it really saddens me that you even have to tell people to be nice. We live in such contentious times that I can’t imagine someone coming after you for anything! come on people.

[@likemoto1872]

I hear what you’re saying but I was literally just telling my son that there are more good people in the world than bad. The bad ones just tend to get more attention

[@natashaslist]

Thanks so much for your support!

[@pennywilliams1045]

You have to run hot water over the cap for a few minutes and tap the bottom of the jar with the palm of your hand ,it will pop right open

[@natashaslist]

Thank you!

[@kimbyts9045]

The butter lnife hack mentioned in here works but ive also ran the lid under hot water until the lid expands when i didnt have a knife

[@natashaslist]

Thank you!

[@carlbowles1808]

Seeing the snacks make your friend's face light up with happiness made this trader Joe's haul extra special. 🌞🤣💃

[@pattywright3350]

Thank you Natasha! Great video 😊

[@natashaslist]

You are so welcome!

[@carisamorales3474]

Love Michelle in your video. Great vibe from her and she’s adorable! 😊. Enjoy your vacay

[@kellychasse5077]

To open a stubborn jar you wack the bottom with the palm of your hand and it breaks the suction and seal on jars.

[@natashaslist]

Thank you!

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

Tip for opening jars - turn it upside down and give it a good bash. Should open. If not put a can opener under the lip and it should pop and will open.

[@natashaslist]

Thanks!

[@gracedipalermo3120]

I bought and tried the watermelon drink. Personally, I didn’t care for it. But, it also has 34 g of sugar in that little bottle.😮

[@sharonmitchell3515]

I love it.I habe much rather have it than a soda. It is so refreshing. I have home nurses come in and they will ask if I have extra . They are running around visiting patients and I love keeping some treats to show them how BB much I appreciate their service to all of us.. They also love the mango smoothies now that it is getting warmer. They can drink them in between patients.

[@catnip4587]

Jam has pieces of the fruit in it jelly is smooth made from the juice

[@janetdaum7395]

I know you’ve got lots of advice on opening the jar, but I turn it over and slam it down on the counter. After that, I can usually open it.

[@natashaslist]

Thank you!

[@jackiedecoma4637]

Best way to open that type of can is with a bottle opener.

[@natashaslist]

Thank you!

[@lauraschoenhaus8251]

Use a butter knife and turn under the lid, you will hear a pop and lid will open...❤😊

[@natashaslist]

Thank you!

[@rowshanlouie5126]

[@beaglenglund]

[@natashaslist]

I love the jicama wraps!

[@lizmccue5820]

Girls, run the jar under hot water!

[@natashaslist]

Thanks!

[@debrosenbloom1731]

Thank you for helping me see the impact of negative posts

[@natashaslist]

Happy to help!

[@mariaskeepingitreal2835]

Michelle was amazing and she has a cute kitchen. Please tell her thank you for the flower tip. I hope you have fun in NY. Thank you for sharing this week’s items. I’m definitely going to try the cherry jam and yogurt almonds.

[@natashaslist]

Thank you! Will do! I hope you like those items!

[@rowshanlouie5126]

IKR🎉👍😆

[@franweller1]

Natasha thank you for your review

[@natashaslist]

Thanks for watching!

[@SandyJohnson-yd1vu]

Dip the Carolina Gold chips in Uncle Dans dip. Trust me, it’s delicious!

[@natashaslist]

I don’t know what uncle Dan’s dip is! But sounds good!

[@SandyJohnson-yd1vu]

It’s a Ranch dip packet, mix with 2 cups mayo and 2 cups sour cream. You should be able to find it in most grocery stores.

[@nancyfasolino7607]

As a kid my mom put Dawn dish soap in the bath😂

[@natashaslist]

Lol!

[@asmrcalmingvibes]

The key to open glass jars is to take a metal knife or butter knife and turn the knife upside down to tap about three times around the lid then twist it to open it and if that doesn’t work, take the knife side (preferably a dinner knife, not sharp knife) and put it under the lid where the little dents or tiny opening are and push upwards but hold the jar on the table so it doesn’t fall and break……then twist it after you hear the knife pop the lid. Here are two “how to” videos online!! Good luck 👍 😂 kzbin.info8MlX-Djdb_E?si=VA9Qkcjntr-xpahU kzbin.infoj-lb0RYKKTw?si=V6g_JY6Tb-B4ZA0M

[@natashaslist]

Thanks so much!

[@meetasandhu5786]

Can you do a haul for Sprouts

[@natashaslist]

Any items in particular?

[@laurabarbosa3276]

They have the bright pink ones in TJ in floroda to go with the Brazilian butter products

[@natashaslist]

Yes, those are in stores now!

[@kayjacoby290]

Nice little haul. While in NYC, if you're anywhere near either Wegmans, I suggest a little trip.

[@natashaslist]

Thanks for the tip!

[@vickieharvey823]

I have a couple of tools for opening jars. One is battery operated and works in impossible situations!

[@natashaslist]

My friend needs one of those!

[@vickieharvey823]

@@natashaslist I will try to find them online and send links

[@t7321]

If you're ever in Michigan, feel free to use my kitchen. ❤

[@natashaslist]

Thank you! Will do!

[@nancyfasolino7607]

She seems very sweet

[@natashaslist]

Yes, very!
