OMGGGGGG the spicy thai fired rice is the bomb, i get a bag a week...loveeeeee

[@traderjoesgeek]

Wow 🤩 glad you enjoy it 😋 & thanks for the feedback❣️

[@jazzbeaux6154]

I've been looking for the garlic asiago dip in the frozen section too. Thanks for letting me know where to find it. 😊

[@traderjoesgeek]

You’re very welcome and thanks so much for watching❣️

I agree about maple flavoring. I like maple syrup on pancakes and waffles, but I really don't want maple flavored anything else.

[@traderjoesgeek]

Glad to know I’m not the only one❣️In theory, it sounds amazing but some of the items just don’t taste that great and takes on a perfumey sometimes overly sweet artificial flavor.

[@cjs9917]

I finally tried The Salted Maple ice cream that has been in my freezer. I think it's delicious but I don't believe it has a strong maple flavor - not too sweet. I love maple syrup. 🥰

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@cjs9917 YAY glad you enjoyed it 🍁🍨😋❣️

I really enjoy your videos. You should me the new products each time so I know what new stuff to get during my next trip. Trader Joe’s can be overwhelming so I like to be in and out. Your videos have shown me there is so many things I’m missing out on!

[@traderjoesgeek]

Thank you so much for watching and the encouragement 🥰 also glad that the videos are helpful for your shopping trips❣️

Marinaded Meat: one sheet pan, one grill, one husband. Unwrap the meat, put it on a the sheet pan, hand it to the husband. Meat comes out perfectly every time

[@traderjoesgeek]

😆🤣 love this❣️

[@sharongenco3716]

If you sauté, frozen vegetables, while they are covered for part of the time, or thaw 5:28 and roast, they really do come out pretty well. I even grill them!

[@traderjoesgeek]

When you say “covered for part of the time” do you mean with a lid? I feel like when I thaw it first, it becomes even more soggy 😩 I’ll give it another try though!

[@kathy2933]

Thank you for another great TJ’s haul! It’s so nice how you describe the products in detail for us, especially if we’re on the fence about purchasing an item or not. I mostly buy Trader Joe’s frozen veggies & roast them in the oven from thawed or frozen if I forget to take them out of the freezer. Either way comes out great for me. Just sprinkle a little olive oil & whatever spices you prefer. I roast a huge sheet pan at 400 for about 40-45 minutes. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@traderjoesgeek]

Hi Kathy 🤗 Do you roast the frozen veggies straight from the freezer or do you let it thaw first before you roast it? Thank you so much for watching❣️

[@kathy2933]

I do both. I try to remember to thaw them out in the fridge overnight. If I forget, I roast them from frozen.

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@kathy2933 thank you for letting me know❣️I’m determined to try to make frozen veggies edible 🤭

[@cjs9917]

If you like spicy and shrimp, I highly recommended the Spicy Thai Shrimp fried rice. It was very easy to cook in a saute pan and it packed a heck of a punch in flavor. Next time I make I will probably add extra veggies on the side, just for a reprieve from the heat.

[@traderjoesgeek]

Ooooo thanks for describing it in such detail & recommending it❣️and YASSSSSS to adding veggies 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I always bulk up my meals with more veggies because I am a volume eater 😋😆

Nice video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Thanks for watching Camille❣️

[@Truthseeker351]

Personally, there is a big difference between fresh and frozen veggies. Here in Southern California we have a plethora of locally grown produce which is absolutely delicious. Once you eat them regularly, frozen taste tasteless. However, I would always choose frozen over canned.

[@traderjoesgeek]

Absolutely agree on all these points❣️

[@paulareilly912]

Great walk thru! Its far, i only get to go 2x yr. Thanks

Hi!!! Thank you! For finding the lemon curd!❤️I didn’t realize how many calories it had😕 I find cooking that kind of marinated chicken in the air fryer cooks well or ant chicken for that matter,minus the liquid spray some avocado oil on it.

[@traderjoesgeek]

Hi Nancy 🤗 it’s so delicious & definitely worth it. I just don’t buy it often because I can’t be trusted with it 🤭

[@nancyfasolino7607]

Lol!! I just smear a little on toast! I should not add butter😃

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@nancyfasolino7607 butter on toast 🧈🍞with a little jam is probably one of my all time FAVORITE things to eat 🤤 don’t deny yourself the great pleasure❣️

[@reneets5729]

I’m really curious about the moisturizers. Shea butter tends to break me out so I’m hesitant.

[@traderjoesgeek]

Ahh that makes sense because shea butter is thick. I’m interested also…just wish the day cream includes spf in it.

[@eg1197]

Interested in the Honey Hydration set. Actually prefer to use my own higher SPF sunscreen. If they do add sunscreen, it's usually lower SPF. Wicked Good looks good, for emergency stash high(frozen). I do buy plain frozen veggie (without sauce) in case i have no fresh veggies. I steam them lightly and add to other ingredients in the end during stir fry. Went to TJs last week, didn't have my Butternut Mac and Cheese. Since it'll be Oct..hope it not gone for the year 😢. Btw i commented on Short "super seedy cheese snack bites.

[@traderjoesgeek]

Oh no…hopefully it’s not gone for the season and they restock the butternut squash mac & cheese for your next trip 🤞🏻🤞🏻 good idea about steaming the veggies lightly and then adding it to a stir fry! Let me know if you end up trying the honey hydration creams 🍯 (saw the comment on the super seedy cheese crackers 🙂)

[@allioakley3372]

TJ frozen broccoli is excellent!!!

[@traderjoesgeek]

Oh wow 🤩 good to know 🥦 How do you usually prepare it?

[@allioakley3372]

@@traderjoesgeek it says it right on the bag you put it in a microwavable bowl with a lid with a quarter of a cup of water and I usually cook it for about 6 or 7 minutes depending how soft I want it and it's not soggy you can cook in until it's a little crispy or softer if you want and it's perfect and delicious tasting. Usually frozen broccoli has a weird taste but Trader Joe's is delicious.

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@allioakley3372 thanks for letting me know❣️that’s how I feel about their frozen cherries (although sometimes they are sweeter than others depending on the crop)

[@sarahsappenfield8359]

I can't wait for my Trader Joe's trip this weekend! I liked the honey face cream duo but I'm disappointed in TJ's because the day cream does not actually contain hyularonic acid 🤨

[@traderjoesgeek]

Hi Sarah 🤗 I’m excited for you❣️What items are you picking up this weekend? So I just double checked the ingredients on the day cream 🧐 the ingredient is sodium hyaluronate which probably is the hyaluronic acid but I’m not sure 🤔

[@sarahsappenfield8359]

@@traderjoesgeek me too! I want to pick up the squash and the new bag of halloween gummies. I am hoping to find the Autumn Maple k cups. I saw that too. I looked it up and it't the sodium salt of hyularonic acid, lol no clue what that means. 😂 I will have to do more research lol

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@sarahsappenfield8359 ahhh so that’s probably how they can get by with saying hyaluronic acid. Lot of manufacturers do that with food items too 😞 but getting back to your haul - sooooo excited for you to try the delicious delicata squash. I really hope you like it and I didn’t hype it up too much 🤭 the gummies should be a fun treat 😋

[@sophiekarnak3936]

@@sarahsappenfield8359 "Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid. It is synthesized to create a smaller molecular structure for stability and increased resistance to oxidation. Its smaller molecular structure and water solubility means that it can penetrate deeper into skin, providing intense hydration beyond the skin’s surface."

[@sarahsappenfield8359]

@@traderjoesgeek I agree. I hate it when they do it to food and skincare. I am very excited! I think I will love it!

One more question !! I haven’t made it to my store yet to get some pumpkin fall goodies especially Cinnabon spread!! A few jars! Which I see they still have , do you think they will still have everything next week I plan to go Tuesday 😏I waited too long this year it’s an hour away!

[@traderjoesgeek]

Hopefully they should have *most* of the items still there by next week but it’s hard to say since each store location varies. My sister’s store never has anything but my store is always fully stocked luckily. But as you probably already know, these items go quickly but once they sell out of the pumpkin items, they stop ordering to make room for Thanksgiving and holiday items. Fingers crossed you can find your goodies 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 What do you use the cinnamon bun spread with? I really liked it but actually found a hard time finishing it 😅

[@nancyfasolino7607]

I actually buy the puff pastry and I cut up apple mix them with the Cinnabon spread , cut them into big squares I smear more spread on it put some apples on one side fold over seal with a fork cut a slit on top bake them 350 for about 20-30 until crispy golden it’s amazing I only use it for that. And it lasts a long time in the fridge I have some still left from last year! It’s still ok! I hope I get there soon! Thank you♥️

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@nancyfasolino7607 wow that sounds delicious 🍎😋 you could probably add some lemon curd 🍋 to the puff pastry as well❣️

[@vickiavery2732]

Does Trader Joe’s sell any sugar free or no sugar added products.

[@traderjoesgeek]

The only sugar free items that I know of off the top of my head are some of the protein bars (the ones that have sugar alcohols in it) & there’s also reduced sugar fruit preserves. Other than that, I can’t seem to think of anything else 🤔
