[@beautylove1801]

[@littleleyworld]

It's midnight over here and you made me sooo hungry XD

[@eileenv9988]

LittleLeyWorld where do you live

[@littleleyworld]

France :)

[@marias1834]

just came across your channel through Cambria and I'm obsessed! You seem to be such a genuine, joyful spirit and the fact that you love trader joes as much as i do is freaking exciting..subscribed!!

[@AniPocinotv]

Great video!! I love your house. Im completly in love since you show it in a home tour. 😍😍😍

[@katienewsom3644]

It would be so cute if you did a video where you and Dan go grocery shopping to pick out things for each other to try!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Katie Newsom ooooh! I love that idea! Thanks Katie!!

[@sarah.choi09]

In case you were wondering what Mochi is. It is a Japanese cake dough that's made from sweet rice that's been grounded. The end result is this sticky cake that you can any filling to it and the popular one would be red bean filling and the flour is to keep it from sticking anything. Hope this help!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Sarah Choi thanks for the info!!! Dude---it was sooooo good! 😭😍

[@LifeasThea]

If you guys haven't tried their jalapeño artichoke dip you totally should. It is my addiction right now 😍😍 (also in combo with their sweet potato corn chips)! Love both your channels/videos! 💕 So happy you're doing videos five days a week now, Nikki!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+theafederoff omggggggg I just tried that the other night and it is soooo good!!😍😍😍😍 also thank you! I'm glad you're excited! I am too! I'm having so much fun!!!🤗😭😭😘

[@kianamarie2670]

OMG you ladies are the cutest. I've never seen Carrie's videos but I'll totally be checking them out. You have the best friends Nikki!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Kiana Marie I do have some amazing friends! Haha! Thanks girl! You are gonna love her channel!😍

[@socalchristy17]

Reasons why I heart TJ's: 1. I've literally never bought a single item from there that wasn't amazing. 2. They have great pricing always, meaning that they don't have sales (which can sometimes be a bit confusing) so everything is always reasonably priced. 3. Their staff is always helpful and super friendly. 4. I've heard (please don't quote me on this) that they don't carry any items that contain GMOs. 5. Two Buck Chuck (one of their brands of wine for only $2.99!) 6. COOKIE BUTTER!!!

[@catmama54]

I am now making my list for Trader Joes and I'm dying over here for chips and salsa. Never tried the green ones but going to get both of them.

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+catmama54 yay!! Do it!! They are amazing!

[@lmmbchampion]

Nikki--You never fail to deliver!! Now I have a list of new things to get on my next trip to Trader Joes:) I sure hope there is a part 2!!! xoxo

[@LizH.]

Nikki, do your top five favorite salsa countdown!

[@katymaloney]

Yaaay, Carrie! :D So rad of you to have her over.. ;) And yaaaay, pesto!

[@jennierozenberg1936]

hahahah the mochi balls!! nikki, i am literally you when i first tried one of these, I was like WHAT is this, but they’re super addicting and I’m obsessed with them now. Love this video, came from Carrie’s channel and this is so adorable.

[@missbarbiegal19]

I love your food videos because I'm such a foodie too! Keep them coming!!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Jasmine Smith yaaaaaaaaaaa💁🏻💁🏻💁🏻 I'm obsessed with food too so they shall keep coming!!!😈😈😈

[@chelseajacobson2842]

+NikkiPhillippi ilysm great collab/video

[@PerfectlyPreppy]

i am loving this collab!! loved this video!!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+PerfectlyPreppy That makes me so happy!!! Thanks girl!

[@PaulinaBaby19]

The Olive Tapenade is EVERYTHINGGG!!!

[@thewadsquad]

Oh. My. Word. going to Trader Joes right meooooow! Those dips looks SO good! Olive tapenade say WHAAAAT?!

[@samantham5442]

My absolutely favorite thing is the Mandarin Orange Chicken in the frozen section. It's not the most healthy thing, but it's delicious. We usually pair it with a little rice and some sautéed green beans.

[@denisecalehuff4772]

for those of you that like savory breakfast items and want vegan/vegetarian option. toast english muffin (with no milk product in it), spread hummus, add that TJ olive tapenade on top of hummus. I also add cucumbers or tomatoes if I have them. sprinkle with red pepper flakes. If I don't have olive tapenade, I use capers.

[@breebakesit]

When you haven't even watched the video yet, but you love it!! Probably one of the best parts of my day (besides my Jesus time) now that you upload daily! My little "me" time. 💞💞

[@nicoleaggarwal7451]

Please do more of these types of videos!!! that tomatillo salsa you recommended is now my new favorite! Love all your food videos, keep it up!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Nicole Aggarwal I am so happy you tried it and liked it! Love the feedback! Thanks girl!

[@gaoleemoua4563]

I enjoy watching your food videos. It always makes me go hungry even after I ate already. But I can never say no to FOOD! Love everything you shared. I can't wait to try some. 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

[@angeliquemariel2916]

This was such a cool grocery haul!!! Please do more of these and Nikki's Nibbles❤️

[@BEAUTIFIEDyou]

Balela is one of my favs!!! I bulk it up by mixing a whole container of balela, a bag of their frozen quinoa, 2-3 of their Persian cucumbers chopped, a dollop of the Mediterranean hummus, and salt & pepper for taste. It's absolutely delicious, you much try!!!!

[@ashleychapman615]

I love this video idea... please do it again!! Also, the licorice is Australian kookaburra licorice, which is why it tastes different

[@keonanichols6208]

They have a pumpkin mochi for fall, and it is to DIE FOR! Oh my gosh! You HAVE to try it!

[@bruanalidia]

Loved Loved Loved Loved Loved Loved Loved Loved Loved Loved this so much! & Loved Carrie Rad as your testing partner

[@klab2125]

I love their Balela as well as the olive tapenade. They have a cilantro jalapeno hummus that's to die for as well as a fantastic Tzatziki sauce loaded with cucumbers and garlic.

[@MakeWithJess]

Oh my gosh! My two favourite and cutest KZbinrs in one video!! SO HAPPY!!

[@MakeWithJess]

Also, what was that song your were dancing to in Nikki's closet at the start of the video called?? love you!

[@kayceec43]

I wish this video was a few days ago! I just went to Trader Joe's on Wednesday. It's an hour from me. Darn, some of these sound good! :)

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Kay Cee haha! Next time!!

[@jordanbarry6927]

I work at Trader Joe's. You need to try the new salted caramel gelato. It's incredible. The new Kona cookie mocha ice cream is awesome too. Older favorites that are really great are the dark chocolate covered honey grahams with sea salt, mixed nut butter with sliced apples, the wild blueberry and vanilla goat cheese, and the palak paneer with garlic naan.

[@Charbareham45477]

Love how positive and happy you are in every video🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

[@jeniferwendt15]

The chocolate mocha is so bomb, there's chocolate chunks in the center! So good.

[@omgitsnickix3]

I literally had my phone open for this entire video so I could make a trader joes shopping list hahaha

[@darianashe]

I'm from New Mexico and when we have chile season everything smells like roasted green chile and it's amazing! Definitely worth the trip for that and our annual balloon fiesta!

[@samantham5442]

Have you tried the roasted garlic salsa? It is SO good. Lots of garlic and a bit of heat.

[@StephyG728]

Former trader Joe's sign artist from Chicago! I love all those foods you showed are some of the best items in the store :) if you haven't tried the Grand Slam Snack you have to!! it's the perfect combination of salty and sweet!

[@jennycrapps4091]

y'all are adorable!! loved watching this video 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

[@MsBoliqua]

Loved this type of video and have put several to try. I don't have a Trader Joe's but have my sister bring me items to try when she comes to visit!

[@Versace71]

Yes loved this video with Carrie. I am obsessed with Trader Joe’s now

[@rose281396]

So many awesome new food ideas thanks. Nikki, I want to share a salsa recipe with you from New Mexico. Grill on your grill Roma tomatoes Jalapeño Onion Garlic Then take those ingredients and put them in a blender and add about a 1/2 cup water pepper and salt and boom!! On of thee best salsas!!

[@sydneymaine9159]

Do another one of these! I loved it

[@julieramos5151]

I'm from New Mexico and still live here. Hatch green chile definitely grows more than one month a year. Lol but it is to die for!

[@erlinenicolruz7631]

This is one of my favorite in your video nikki. Do more of this grocery haul 😀

[@christinepaje6636]

I loved this video!! It's so hard to go grocery shopping there because I'm new to it and everything so thank you for doing this :)

[@katiie7]

LOVE these kinds of videos. Im in Canada & had no idea most of these things exist!

[@allisonrose5747]

LOVE Trader Joes and your cooking videos SO MUCH

[@ameliaborrayo]

Loved the idea of this video! Would love to see another video like this again!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Amelia Borrayo good to know! Thanks girl! I appreciate the feedback!!

[@charleslcastro]

Nikki does the best food videos😍

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Charles Castro Aww thanks girl!💕😍

[@charleslcastro]

NikkiPhillippi no problem Nikki! Love you! (Guy btw😂💕)

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Charles Castro haha! Sorry I call everyone girl! 😘💕

[@charleslcastro]

NikkiPhillippi aww I love you so much😂😂💕💕

[@kellys7291]

NikkiPhillippi We could totally be BESTIES!

[@minigangsta128]

There's like 3 or 4 Trader Joe's in Atlanta. Excited to go buy some of those dips, now.

[@Monteaux]

Great video! Not sure if you know this but TJ's doesn't supply all the items at all stores. So things I can get here in Vermont might not be in the stores in CA. I've never seen those salsas before!!!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Monteaux De Freitas omg that makes me want to go to every single Trader Joe's now! Haha😍

[@Monteaux]

Well...that would make for quite the video series! Make sure to get sponsored by TJ first...I know, I know...the dream!

[@annapifer9076]

Sometimes they can put suger into the kale juice or spinach juice and apple juice so you may want to look out for that in some green juice🙂ilysm niki❤️I'm addicted to your food videos!

[@JennaOUCG]

I love the chili spiced dried mangos and of course cookie butter! 😍

[@cheesefries911]

the green herbs on top of the hummus is called za'atar

[@luckysharmsy]

Trader Joe's is my go-to place since I'm a college student. They have an amazing variety for a great price!!

[@FreckleFinance]

I just moved to California and this is great seeing which things I should look at buying!

[@justforthelulz93]

Can't wait to watch the rest of this video because in Oklahoma City we are getting a Trader Joe's pretty soon. But I had to stop because I freaked out at how Carrie opened the bag of chips 🤪

[@mediumbelly]

I’ve never had the last salsa but it could be they charred/grille the tomatoes and other veggies before blending them?

[@AnnikaCha]

This just gave me SO MANY new things to add to my Trader Joe's Grocery List now!!! I absolutely love the mochi and seaweed snacks! They're the two things I tell EVERYONE to get a trader joes! I need to try all of those salsas! I usually get the Salsa Autentica one, but next time I go, I'll definitely try all the ones you two picked out!! 😁👍🏼

[@sidas14]

Your videos are so unique! I'm so glad I came across your channel😻

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Yasaira Medrano aww thank you so much!!!🤗 I'm glad you're here 💁🏻🤗😘

[@taylorp9145]

I've been eating that same olive tapenade for years, it's so fricken good! It's the best on toasted herb bread or dip bagel chips in it!

[@Drama4Dolls]

Just subscribed because of Carrie and honestly when you guys kept on talking about chips and salsa and I had to get me some. 😂😂😂😍😍😍😍

[@user3ao]

all the food you get from trader joe's seems so good and i get jealous that i don't have one where i live haha😂😂 also i loved the video clip you put in from carries video😂😂🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

[@user3ao]

also what drink were you drinking when you took a drink after the hatch salsa??

[@aidan5199]

Aspen Sky synergy kombucha

[@socalchristy17]

Aspen Sky I've literally never bought a single item from TJ's that wasn't super delicious. Their wine, beers and spirits are amazing as well! Not to mention, their prices and their staff are on point.👌

[@lyndsaylang5359]

I wish there was a Trader Joes in Canada. Every time I go to the U.S. i literally buy the whole store!! I loved this video Nikki!! 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

[@BeautybyElleV]

i think you need to make a nikki nibbles channel where you share all your fave recipes and food

[@owlyhatgirl]

Somehow I've never tried any of this from trader joe's, so on the shopping list a lot of this is going! My newest addiction from trader joe's is the sweet potato tortilla chips. I think they might be seasonal, but I'm not sure. They are sooo good.

[@elizabethshaw734]

tapenade is not a mix of olives. It is either black or green olives and has quite a bit of garlic and some anchovy with olive oil.

[@breannaw222]

Honestly just love your content!! So entertaining ♥️♥️

[@Abigail-kd8gu]

I wish that there was a Trader Joes near me!! I want to eat healthy sooo bad, and im tryin! Great video Nikki, so funny! 😆😁

[@jenniferwellman5311]

Yeah we have Trader Joe's here in Seattle, and I don't like olives either, but my mother makes a tomato garlic, tomato tempinade, that I love.

[@Vickey820]

Greatest duo goes out to these two

[@makenzeycain9792]

Ahhh wishing I had a trader joes near me!! Enjoyed this video, Nikki!

[@victoriaosorno969]

I tried a few of these items! I LOVE the humus and hatch chili salsa!

[@daleighwelch]

I'm so glad you uploaded this video!! I've been wanting to try trader joes forever & one just recently opened up fairly close to where I live! My mom & I actually have plans to go tomorrow afternoon! I'm so excited. 😁😋🍉

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+daleigh willhite That is so awesome!!! I hope you have a blast!!! You guys are gonna love it!!😘💕

[@hollydolly088]

We have Trader Joe's in Arizona. I love it. I miss it tho cause I moved like 30 mins away. It's so fun!

[@nadinea14]

i went to trader joes today and they didnt have a label for the balela anywhere i could see and the worker i asked had never heard of it :( i wanna try!

[@rebeccalindley9323]

I love this video! Always love a good haul! ❤️

[@katlynpalmer9324]

Yasss! You should do this for whole foods also!

[@__Hyde__]

They have this uncured bacon ends and pieces which is amazing. Also their roasted chicken patties are amazing as well. But the best thing they have is the orange chicken.

[@karlacastillo9798]

The video started and I'm like YEP, I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS A BIG THUMBS UP THIS IS A GOOD ONE

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Karla Sanchez haha! Yassss!💖

[@purplegirl221]

This is so great! Cause I always want to try the weird things but I'm always so nervous to!

[@ModernMolliee]

This was such a good idea for a video! I'll have to pick up some of these items soon! Haha I LOVE olives and my fiancé hates them so I get it with the tapenade!

[@rebeccahuber7824]

The mango salsa from Costco is SO GOOD! I'm totally a chip-and-dip girl.

[@mariannegreene1680]

so bummed my trader joe's didn't have the balela salad! I really want to try it. I did get a few other things you mentioned. My current obsession is the pumpkin tortilla chips!!!

[@ZoeNazarian]

That's my fave hummus! Also, Trader Joe's is one of my faves!

[@NikkiPhillippi]

+Hashtag Zoe you know what's good!☺️😉

[@ManateeGhost]

You should totally try the eggplant hummus from Trader Joes!! It's so yummy!

[@rachaelannesophia1290]

Trader Joe's is love. Trader Joe's is life. 🙌🏼

[@hollyking3868]

Yes! Def do this again!!!

[@GMarieRomolini]

I really enjoyed this! You girls are great together. Totally need to head to Trader Joe's soon :)

[@RadiantVlogs]
