✨THE ULTIMATE TRADER JOE’S THANKSGIVING GUIDE✨+ SNEAK PEEK 28 NEW ITEMS & HAULS 🛒

Always fun to listen to her really honest reviews! Especially during holiday season, I don’t want to have any regrets about buying anything. I appreciate her for publishing the video! Thank you!

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@KikisKitchenInSF Awww thank you for always being so sweet and for watching❣️

That blue cheese dip is FAB with pears!!!!! Add a chopped salad in the garlic gondolas.

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@SukiAwake The blue cheese dip is also really good paired with the Thanksgiving stuffing kettle chips and love the salad idea in the gondola 🥗😋 Thank you so much for watching❣️

[@poketographyyy]

Great walkthrough and haul as always! I know you're a busy person, so I appreciate your in-depth takes and attention to detail as TJ's ramps up its offerings. There's a ton of the holiday items where I'm at--especially the snacky stuff. Where I'm at (Northeastern, US) they're slowly phasing out the fall/Thanksgiving and now have the true Hanukkah and Christmas-themed treats out. Lots of peppermint and chocolate abound! They also brought back the Mystery Bag pack for $2.99/mystery bag. Great for gifts! Also, it's definitely NOT weird to use dips as a base for sauces! Mix in some cheese, cream/corn-starch, and seasonings with veggies and it's delicious and an easy short-cut. Thanks again, and looking forward to seeing what else you buy this upcoming month and a half!

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@poketographyyy Wow thank you so much for writing all this. It truly means a lot 🥹🥰 I definitely have seen the holiday items in stores but just can’t edit the videos fast enough due to a schedule change making me even more tight on time. This is truly a labor of love for sure. I never got the mystery bags before but I want to get them this year if I can find them! There’s so many holiday items I want to buy with my hungry eyes but I can’t finish it all so I always have to be selective in what I buy. Thank you so much for always watching❣️

The Classic Greek salad is my favorite. I air fry a few of the gluten free breaded shrimp to add some protein to the meal.😊

[@minsiuh8960]

Thanks for your honestand thorough reviews esp wirh all the seed oils. Was going to buy those mini pecan pies for tg but now i wont. Target has their version of the apple salad and i liked their dressing better. My fave part was the cheddar so i just bought that separately lol

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@minsiuh8960 You’re so welcome 🥰 Honestly I’d say skip the mini pecan pies 🥧. I gave one to my friend who also thought it was mediocre at best and agreed that it didn’t taste like pecan pie. I still have 2 mini pies left in the fridge and have no desire to reach for it 😕 If you were going to go for the mini pies, I recommend getting the mini apple pies or the apple crumble pie is amazing too. I haven’t seen the Target Apple salad but I have tried the Taylor Farm apple salad kit from Sam’s Club which I showed in a previous video and that one comes with a sweet onion vinaigrette that’s tasty also. Thank you so much for watching❣️

[@MariE-575]

I would recommend giving the Thanksgiving popcorn another shot. I also thought it was very lackluster in the past, but they definitely revamped it for this year. I actually think the popcorn is better than the chips this year!

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@laurawilliams1991 Awwww that just made my day 🥹🥰😭 The herb butter isn’t packaged on the side but from what I recall it was kinda already smothered on there or had some little butter square chunks. It was delicious in previous years. Thank you so much for watching❣️

Looking forward to trying the sage/stuffing flavored chips & spice! Great idea to use things that don’t taste great as ice cream toppings (the pretzels and mini chocolate chip cookies). Note to self - heat or chill if mediocre flavor. *Thanks for the mention of the Holiday Italian items. Usually only find those at Home Goods or Cost Plus. Honestly I was so burnt out living in Seattle & too close to TJ’s for years - Your videos made it special again🌞💖🌞 Now much farther away & Grocery Outlet is the thrill place. Sorry for the Wikipedia entry. Love your detailed videos!

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@christina3521 Excited for you to try the stuffing chips 😋 They’re delicious on their own but you can also jazz them up with any of the cheesy dips I showed in this video or have some with a little bit of cranberry sauce to get that Thanksgiving vibe. Omg I love Grocery Outlet 😆 I go in waves there (sometimes I go weekly and then there will be times I don’t go for a month) but that’s probably best because that place is even more dangerous to me than Trader Joe’s. I end up buying stuff I normally wouldn’t because of the deals/sales 🤦‍♀️ Thank you so much for always commenting and watching❣️

[@maremacd]

Got two bags of the Thanksgiving stuffing chips because I missed them last year. I don’t know when I’ll eat them because I’m really trying to keep my calories low right now. Trying to get some extra weight to budge. Knowing me I will open them after they’ve gone stale. Pretty hair by the way! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@maremacd I loosely track my calories so I hear ya. Maybe you can portion them out so you can enjoy a little bit at a time. The bulk of my meal is usually a ton of veggies so that I don’t load up on the high calorie foods but I’ll still eat the calorically dense foods but just a smaller portion of it and save the rest for later which is also why it takes me forever to finish the groceries I buy. Happy Thanksgiving to you too. Thank you so much for always watching❣️

[@chihuahuasrule1175]

I love that stuffing popcorn. I literally have 6 bags and was going to buy more until you mentioned the leftover seasoning so I can make my own popcorn with it. Maybe they changed their flavor profile from last year?

@@chihuahuasrule1175 You’re the second person to say that so I think I’ll have to try it again this year❣️I also want to try the new French onion popcorn 🍿 do you think you will try that one as well?

[@traderjoesgeek]

@@christina3521 Oh no 😕 I bought it this year because people have said there’s less cocoa powder on top but I wonder if they modified the recipe also. Last year I absolutely loved it but I know most people didn’t. Did you try it last year also?
