I may or may not be guilty of taking a trip to my nearest Trader Joe’s at least once every week. It’s like going on a treasure hunt, except the treasure in question is a variety of delectable baked goods, crave-worthy snacks, and deliciously unexpected cheeses. Sure, it may be at least a 30-minute drive, but what’s a little distance when a pint of Salted Maple Ice Cream is involved?

The list,

1. Everything But the Leftovers Seasoning Blend

2. Cornbread Stuffing Mix

3. Organic Maple Butter

4. Cranberry Sauce 5. Thanksgiving Stuffing Seasoned Popcorn

6. Salted Maple Ice Cream

7. Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

8. Spiced Cider

9. Breaded Turkey-less Stuffed Roast

10. Mashed Sweet Potatoes

How much is Trader Joe paying Reddit for all this advertising?

[Wuli]

Not a one of them on my list.

There are a handful of items we like buying from Trader Joe’s, but none of them are on this list.

I haven’t been in a Trader Joe’s for about 27 years. Haven’t felt the lack.

[Telepathic Intruder]

My town doesn’t have a Trader Joe’s.

I agree, not much on Trader Joe’s shelves ever finds itself in my kitchen. I shop at Aldi for most of my stuff. Ironically Trader Joe’s is owned by Aldi (Aldi Nord) and the everyday Aldi is owned by Aldi Sud. Depending on where I am I also shop at Kroger, Food Lion, Publix, Giant Food, Winn Dixie, and Lidl.

Same here. It’s a drive to Tulsa and the parking sux. Very crowded on Sundays.

The spiced cider is yummy! We get it every year!

The spiced cider is amazing warmed with rum. 🍹

They also have Honeysuckle for $.77/lb this week.

No Trader Joe where I live now.

Sure miss the "Two buck Chuck"

STUFF

[Fungi]

Not buying a damn thing. I can cook better than any thing they pretend is real. The trader is great so long as it's not processed.

[jdt1138]

Will they cover my 4 hour drive? How much can I get for re-posting this to a few places?

"They also have Honeysuckle for $.77/lb this week.

It was 1.39/lb four years ago at this time. Looks like you got a good deal if there were any available to buy.

[Shortstop7]

Same. No thanks, Trader Joe’s.

Sadly, I remember Trader Joe’s products they no longer stock that could make a holiday feast special.

Sorghum syrup. Not as sweet as sugar syrup, corn syrup or molasses, but lends a distinct flavor in recipes.

Chicory coffee. No caffeine, but has a similar flavor.

10lb chocolate bars. Great for greedy, gluttonous relatives.

Sunchokes, aka “Jerusalem Artichokes”.
