FIRST TIME at✨TRADER JOE’S✨ || SHOP with Me + TASTE TEST Favorite ✨Trader Joe✨ items!!

[@meagerz]

So heartwarming how your older boy in the middle seat immediately started handing treats to the back before taking his.

[@Thegrocerylady]

He is definitely a heart warmer ☺️☺️

[@traciej9682]

Two seasonal items that are a must try are the almond 'Danish Kringle' pastry and the 'Mini Gingerbread People' cookies.

[@Jacelyn-tn6mq]

OMG YES, the almond Danish Kringle is so good....I think I'm addicted to it!! The gluten free double chocolate muffins are another delish treat. The muffins aren't seasonal, and I kind of wish they were as I have zero willpower to not buy them!!

[@Thegrocerylady]

Ooh , yum !!!

[@925Fit]

Hi Meghan, I love that you got to try Trader Joe’s!

[@Thegrocerylady]

Hey hey!! Glad you could come along😊😊

[@homesteadmccoy]

Fabulous Trader Joe's haul! You showed amazing restraint for your first time in TJ'S.

[@Thegrocerylady]

Thank you for coming along 😁😁

[@michellewilson4815]

What a great haul. Love to see the family, shopping 🛍️ with you. Try the peanut butter pretzels.

[@Thegrocerylady]

Love to have you shopping with me 😁😁

[@RebeccaH43]

I love the flowers at Trader Joe's 😊

[@Thegrocerylady]

Yes; they have an amazing selection💐💐

[@PepperplacewithShawna]

I just love your sunny attitude! I haven't been to Trader Joes either. That was fun! ❤

[@Thegrocerylady]

So glad you had fun 😊😊

[@linda-thriftandvintagejunkie]

I do the majority of my grocery shopping at Aldi, but I go to Trader Joe's for certain items I can't get at Aldi. It's always FUN to go to Trader Joe's! I have my favorites at TJ's, but so many new things to try! Especially, the seasonal items.

[@Thegrocerylady]

Yes! SO.MANY .SEASONAL. Items.

[@audreyroy4212]

We don’t have a Trader Joe’s here in Northwest Minnesota, but when I go to visit my daughters in Minneapolis she brings me there. Love that store. Thankyou for the tour. Your children are so well behaved. ., very sweet kids.

[@Thegrocerylady]

How fun 😁Thank you; they are pretty sweet!!

[@cjs9917]

Cookie butter is ONE of my many Trader Joe's favorites. It is fabulous with crispy apple slices - in fact, I am having that for lunch today. Also, slathered on a piece of warm toast or french toast, it gets a bit melty and gooey and the warm spices come out more.❤

[@isagoldfield7393]

I 💯% agree, to my kids it’s better than Nutella on a toast & waffles🩷

[@shellyk5423]

The teriyaki orange chicken is a great kid pleaser. Also, easy quick dinner and better and less expensive than eating out.

[@isagoldfield7393]

My kids favorite MANDARIN ORANGE CHICKEN in the freezer.

[@Thegrocerylady]

Love the quick dinner ideas😊😊!!

[@debbyshowalter6193]

Very good video 👍🏻loved seeing the family 👍🏻your babies are getting so big 🥰Good to see Mark too ❤️🙏🏻🎄

[@Thegrocerylady]

So glad you enjoyed it! They are growing so.fast. 🎄🎄

[@naomihartman6623]

U we’re so exciting at trader joes I love how u included the kids that was fun to see their faces

[@Thegrocerylady]

Yes😄😄😄

[@jilldeutsch4779]

Lovely family outing. Thanks for sharing ❤🍫❤

[@marianbrinley4389]

Loved this traders joes trip!!❤❤❤

[@Thegrocerylady]

So glad you joined us 😉!!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

So good to see the family today. I've missed those sweet babies.

[@Thegrocerylady]

❤️❤️❤️

[@audreybrown1257]

Thanks for being you. I had a shitty morning some checkout person at our local store freaked out at me, idk. We don't have a Trader Joe's in the real upstate NY. However my sweet adult daughter sent me a ton of Joe's stuff b4 she moved to Okinawa with my granddaughters, one here and one in the belly. Rough day, hope yours was great because you make me smile.

[@Thegrocerylady]

😊😊😊

[@OceanLover593]

I live in So Cal and lucky enough to have two TJ’s near by - have loved shopping here for years and the employees are always helpful and friendly- yes some things are pricy but I normally buy their less expensive staples - and splurge on yummy treats occasionally 🎉 They’ve also expanded their floor space and I’ve found it easier to shop

[@rosemarymccartney7934]

Love Trader Joe’s. Congrats on hitting 50k subscribers.

[@haleymccool7164]

The Scandinavian swimmers are our favorite gummy candy. The texture is perfect!

[@skibunny2257]

I like the headband gift idea. I would love to receive that as a gift.

[@reginagillis7201]

Trader Joe’s is my favorite place to shop. I only shop there because the staff is friendly and the flowers 🌹 are amazing. 👍🏽

[@alexgdmn468]

this was so fun to watch, this is actually the trader joes i go to! i love it there. the vegetable spring rolls are super good, they taste like ones you’d get at a restaurant when you air fry them

[@Thegrocerylady]

Oh, good to know!!!

[@inescece4707]

Loved seeing you with your beautiful family ! Great video love trader joe !😊❤

[@cindyc.1728]

I love Trader Joe’s ! They have the best snacks !!!

[@Thegrocerylady]

They definitely have a spread!!!

[@kelleysullivan8908]

So fun to have a shopping video again.

[@HeadWallet]

You are so witty. I love it! Keep on truckin'...

[@mallorycyr4979]

So many things! The frozen Indian meals are delicious and the garlic naan in the air fryer! The mini wontons, and bulgogi fried rice, and so many of the holiday frozen apps! Love seeing your TJ journey and glad you’ll be back.

[@Thegrocerylady]

Glad you came along for it 😊😊

[@MrZzToOoFlyY]

The gingerbread bars and the lemon bars are heavenly 🤤😋

[@isagoldfield7393]

I shop TJ at list once a week, it’s my family’s favorite grocery store. I think it’s cheaper than Walmart & better quality in my opinion.

[@Ro11311]

Trader Joe's kringles danish are amazing!

[@karlaruter3221]

Megan please try the olives. I've heard very good things. Nice to see the family all together 😊.

[@dianenorris299]

Trader Joe’s recommendations. Focaccia with parm and sun dried tomatoes, both cinnamon and pumpkin(seasonal) brioche which makes great toast and French toast, frozen potato hash browns, kung po chicken, cinnamon graham crackers, Mac n’ cheese balls( dip in hot sauce😋) and mango peach orange juice. Great flowers and seasonal plants👍

[@Thegrocerylady]

Yum! Those sound great!!

[@UserHunca]

Katie Hespe is a former TJ employee & still goes there often. She is a vegetarian, but her husband is not. One young boy, Benson. You should watch them a bit. One day she will show the haul; the next they do a taste test video. Katie Hespe.

[@Ro11311]

Yes! Love Katie!

[@Mikesgirl2by4]

The Wassail song. Lol I love it.

[@shirleysanders.i.am.]

You’re at my fav location! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

[@kronymom]

Love that you have 5 kids they are beautiful gifts from God. I have 5 children also but I'm old ( fifties ) and they grown. Enjoy the time it goes so fast. 😊

[@Thegrocerylady]

That’s awesome! Love to be in the 5 kids club together 😊😊

[@nicolelakra]

The raisin rosemary crisps are very good! They have another variety I have tried too. I use them on a cheese board.

[@annfoster5190]

My daughter in law is a Trader Joe's faithful shopper. My grandkids love the Wassail Punch, snacks and Jo Joe's cookies. My son loves Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, but he's totally into the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. They also come in a larger tub size. I have tried their ready made salads and I love their Cobb Salad. As for the unsalted Butter, I buy the Kirkland Unsalted unsalted Butter because I am on a low sodium diet. It's better than the Members Mark unsalted Butter at Sam's. You can buy it in 4 1 pound sticks or in the blocks at Costco for around 17 bucks it also freezes well. Enjoy your new finds from Trader Joe's ❤

[@Thegrocerylady]

Thank you 😊 !!

[@paula4409]

Trader Joe’s is a family favorite of ours. My kids always enjoyed the mandarin orange chicken. The kung pao is also delicious. Their fried rice is good and also in the freezer section. I know a lot of people really like the cookie butter. My reaction was similar to yours. How fun for you all! Thank you for taking us along.

[@Heathmah]

Count me in on the "cookie butter, no thanks" team

[@Thegrocerylady]

Awesome ! Thanks for the suggestions. Lots of people seem to love the orange chicken !!

[@kimmachette5024]

The cookie butter is like those windmill cookies made into a spread. They sometimes call them speculoos cookies. My favorite way to use it is spread on a toasted French toast bagel 😊

[@Thegrocerylady]

That sounds yummy 😃😃

[@chasitysmith41]

for the indian frozen meals get the butter chicken that's my number one favorite the chicken tikka marsala, and the lamb vindaloo.

[@teresarodriguez9949]

2.99 for a pack of apples! I live in Lancaster PA and packs of apples are between 6 and 8 dollars.

[@Heathmah]

The apples at Trader Joe's are really good and a good value. I usually buy my apples there instead of Aldi and Costco due to the combo of quality and price.

[@shellyk5423]

TJ’s apples are my favorite. They also are delicious small and crispy apples. 🍎 🍏

[@dfa3366]

If you like croissants either or both a box of 4 frozen almond or chocolate. You get freshly baked. So easy...just let them sit overnight and after they rise pop them in the oven and you get puffy crispy croissants. A box cost like 5-6 bucks for a box of 4.

[@joanhawkins8552]

I'm going on the 20th for a stock up. My daughter and I make a special trip down (an hour drive) every 3 months and hit our favorite crafts store. Have lunch and drive back. We love TJs.

[@Thegrocerylady]

How fun😁!!

[@joanhawkins8552]

@@Thegrocerylady had so much fun found a lot of 'new to me" items. There wasn't much Christmas items left though

[@kelleysullivan8908]

The frozen croissants are amazing!!! But be sure you follow instructions so they thaw and rise correctly. If you do, it’s like France came to visit. Soo good!!

[@lindabeard488]

You are closer than I realized. I’m in Kansas and if I wanted to go to a Trader Joe’s I have to go to Missouri. So, hello neighbor. I’m in NE Kansas. Never been there either but I’m making a trip over. Love your trying things for us and taking us along. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤

[@Thegrocerylady]

I was just visiting MO , but I’m so glad you came along for shopping trip ,Linda 😊😊

[@tinasantucci5503]

If the kids find the stuffed animal hidden in the store they get lollipops- love Trader Joe’s, so fun

[@Thegrocerylady]

so fun😀!!!

[@AdrienneMoss-Glennon]

Trader Joe's is an experience!! I have been enjoying the experience for the last 40 years. Just sit back, relax and enjoy. The TJ butter is without growth hormones and the butter I use all the time. Just remember all things in moderation. Have a Very Merry Christmas an a Happy Healthy New Year.

[@Curiouscat5980]

Thank you so much for taking me to Trader Joe’s Love it but I haven’t been in a while. 👍🥰👍♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘😘😘😁. They have so many yummy things ! 😮😬😳

[@Thegrocerylady]

Thanks for tagging along 😉😄!!

[@Rogue1417]

Try the ie creams & dessert in freezer section. The cinnamon oat & the brown sugar oat creamers are good in coffee.

[@Thegrocerylady]

Thank you😊😊!!

[@rachelbolick]

I loved this grocery video with trader joe. This was definitely a new store and I have never been here before. ❤

[@Thegrocerylady]

So glad we got to explore together 😀😀

[@lillipad1313]

I recognize the store you were at, that’s a Trader Joe’s I go to regularly. highly recommend the chicken tikka masala and orange chicken with the veggie fried rice-it’s a go to meal when I just don’t know what to do it don’t feel like cooking. I do like Trader Joe’s spices section and they get some great cheeses and affordable wine.

[@Varbaje1]

Yes, mandarin orange chicken is good. Coconut chocolate almonds

[@gretchens.2756]

So happy to see you and your family at Trader Joes! It is a store I shop at weekly. I like the chicken tika masala in the frozen section, the unexpected cheddar cheese spread, the chocolate mini sheet cake, the cinnamon coffee cake muffins, and peppermint hold the cone. I love the Danish butter cookies. I haven't seen them at the store this year.

[@Thegrocerylady]

Those sound delicious!!!

[@Bree487]

I love Trader Joe's! You can cook those frozen apples into applesauce or apple butter. Love your channel, Meghan! ❤

[@Thegrocerylady]

Thank you and so glad you’re here!!!

[@PSPguy2]

Fun video seeing your first time! I usually do a Trader Joe's run twice a month, some of my TJ must haves are: Unexpexted Chedder Cheese (block, spreadable or shredded), Olive Fougasse bread, Thai Vegetable Gyoza (frozen potstickers), Cilantro Dressing (in the salad cooler), Roasted Garlic and Pesto Pizza and for something sweet their New York Cheesecake is sooo good 😋(and a great price)!

[@amyerion9710]

I love going to Trader Joe’s. So much fun and interesting things they have.

[@Varbaje1]

Have you ever had a Gyro? If you like it, the meat they sell by itself is really good. All Eggs are very good price in my opinion. Veggie rice in freezer section is good. Put soy sauce and it taste like Chinese fried rice. Reese’s buttercups are delicious. Their olive oils are good. Their pizzas are good too. Sooo many things are yummy! And if you like Ezekiel Bread it’s the best price anywhere!

[@eileenbodington5646]

Try the dill-icious salad kit. It is incredible!

[@Thegrocerylady]

🥗🥗☺️

[@helenanderson2065]

Cute family trip! That looks like a big Trader Joe's. It has a lot more items than the one closest to me. I have to eat gluten free and really appreciate their selection. The GF coffee cake muffins are divine and my boys love the scandinavian swimmers. Happy Holidays!

[@emeraldspade5348]

get these: babka chocolate bread, sourdough bread, orange chicken, pork dimsum, garlic naan from freezer section, vodka pasta sauce, elote corn chips, garlic spread(by the hummus fridge), frozen chocolate croissant(you need to bake these though), 😆 raisin or fig crisp crackers, olive oil potato chips, Scandinavian gummies, lava cakes(freezer section). get the frozen mac and cheese. oh my there is more i cant put all here😂 eat the cookie butter on toasted bread, dip apples or pretzels in it. it is like made from biscoff cookie

[@Thegrocerylady]

Will definitely have to try some of these out 😁😁

[@elizabethkelly9790]

This video was so fun

[@Thegrocerylady]

So glad you enjoyed 😁😁

[@amandathomer8392]

We love the orange chicken, we cook it up in the air fryer and it is amazing! I also love the almond filled croissants in the frozen section. You let them proof overnight on a counter and they get to be the size of your hand!

[@Thegrocerylady]

Oh wow 😮😮

[@RebeccaH43]

They have a lot of good treats 😊

[@heatherkroeger1746]

My family likes the green dragon hot sauce and the canned vegan refried beans are the best canned refried beans.

[@shelleysaunkeah904]

Seasonal go-to’s are the tangerine ice cream bars! Plus, the dark chocolate pb cups are the bomb! My hubby loves their blood orange soda. Glad y’all got a good taste of TJ’s!

[@Thegrocerylady]

Mmm . We will have to try those !!!

[@bettyblevins8085]

I have never been to a Trader Joe's. There isn't one near else. Would love to visit one. Everything looks so good.

[@marianbrinley4389]

Yes, get the cookies!

[@jamiejettwalker]

fresh basil. tomatoes, orange chicken, all the cheeses

[@katiesnook1236]

Try the Hot & Sweet pickled Jalapenos, the Garlic & Jalapeno Hot Sauce, and in the frozen section Tteok Bok Ki (Spicy Korean Rice cakes in sauce)- skillet cooked directions.

[@nanar.8088]

I missed seeing family at your Costco so happy to watch this one😊

[@Thegrocerylady]

😊😊

[@LindaASJ]

You remind me of watching a kid when they first walk through the gate at Disney.

[@connielowe1111]

trader joes spaghetti sauce is great ! also we love the frozen chocolate crossants.

[@connielowe1111]

the swimmers (gummies) are good , too and peanut butter filled pretzels are the best

[@ripparippa1261]

Sweet potato Gnocchi- Frozen great side dish PP&J Duo sticks-snack Turkey Gobbler Wrap- Seasonal Pancake Bread- Its more like a cake loaf AMAZING! Orange Cranberry Scones Hold the cone Vanilla chocolate chip

[@tammytuggle6558]

The pizza crust in the bag (by the cold produce in our store) is one of our favorites. The bruschetta (that is in the cold area) on a toasted baguette is also phenomenal. I find that their fruits and vegetables last longer and are great quality.

[@CarrieM129]

The chocolate covered marshmallows are good.

[@christijordan3716]

PANCAKE BREAD IS AMAZING

[@Dontworry5119]

Good video ❤❤❤❤

[@Thegrocerylady]

Thanks for shopping along😄!!

[@Brendakay69]

Omg. Love Trader Joe's . Ok you just must try the falafel , chunky tzitzki sauce, vegetable fried rice, sun butter cups, penne pasta, roasted garlic chicken sausage and any of the specialty breads and you just must get the. Chocolatey cats. ❤❤.Enjoy your goodies

[@Thegrocerylady]

Thank you for the suggestions ; I definitely will 😁😁

[@abelitamontgomery9733]

The green goodess dressing

[@nancygraham8940]

MissourE. That is the way you say it 😊

[@peggymoss3185]

She said it wrong several times

[@joanhawkins8552]

I ALWAYS get the cod and tilapia filets, mini party meatballs, fried rice, gyozas, oh gosh, I can't name all my regulars, too many to list. I love that store, they have healthier options than regular grocery stores. My daughter gets gluten free products for her son. I think this will probably be a regular stop for you.

[@traciej9682]

Love me some Trader Joe's. On my must buy list is the 'Un-expected Cheddar' cheese. The frozen crushed garlic and frozen crushed ginger for cooking; it's like cooking with fresh without the mess and you always have it when you need it. Also I keep a stock of the Trader Joe's brand enchilada sauce that comes in a glass bottle; the best store bought I've found. They change out their seasonal items, so if you find something you want to try... get it! When they are gone, they're gone. Have fun!

[@Thegrocerylady]

Thanks for the suggestions 😊😊!!

[@leighims]

Welcome to Trader Joe’s! The closest TJ to me is 2 hours away. How far is yours? I like trying the salads in a bag, cheeses, kettle potato chips (to mention a few).

[@tiffanypritchett7078]

My husband and I have been going to Trader Joe's since 2018. It is our main grocery store other than Sprouts, Whole Foods, and Costco. Trader Joe's groceries specifically organic are the best priced

[@debbiepyle4204]

Cannoli dip in the dairy case and the thin waffle cookies. Amazing dessert and I’ve only found it at Trader Joe’s and only during the holidays. Get some

[@Thegrocerylady]

Sounds amazing☺️☺️

[@rightpath7780]

You made your way to my FAVORITE STORE. I’m from STL MissourI

[@barbarapipes7420]

TJ favs: individual frozen mini spinach pies, frozen Turkey Corndogs, olive oil potato chips (kettle chips, style) and creamy Toscana soaked in Sirrah, Liquid Organic stevia.Chrysalized ginger and the ginger cookies in the clear container,

[@Thegrocerylady]

Great suggestions!! Thanks 😁😁

[@nicolethomas6586]

Highly recommend the Trader Joe's Pound Plus Milk Chocolate Bar with Caramel, Pretzel Bits & Sea Salt. It doesn't get any better.

[@Thegrocerylady]

Yummm😀

[@Jacqueline2279]

Their TJ stuffing is amazing! Unfortunately, they only have it around Thanksgiving and it goes fast! The TJ three pack of chocolate bars are to die for!!!

[@Thegrocerylady]

Well,maybe next year I can try it out 😉😊

[@Teresakunath]

Jingle jangle goes fast next year im getting an extra tin and for Christmas gift next year. 🎉

[@melindacooper313]

I've never been to TJ, waiting for my friends to take me. Lol. I cannot believe the milk price holy moly we pay $3.98-$4.33 a gallon. Ugh. I used to sing the Wassail song in Madrigals too😁 Enjoying your videos Thank you.

[@joannquesnel905]

I like that their candies are dye free😄

Oh good to know!!

I eat the cookie butter with a spoon, but sometimes I'll get a pack of Biscoff cookies and make cookie sandwiches with them and the cookie butter and have a cup of tea

[@Thegrocerylady]

Great idea! So cozy and yummy.

[@ceciliacalvin263]

I love Trader Joe’s.
