Trader Joe’s Fall Haul

It’s really a funny story. The first week of September, I had an appointment in Fort Worth. Since our little town of Wichita Falls doesn’t have a Trader Joe’s, my mom and I planned a trip to one in the same area as my doctors appointment for all the Fall things. We made a day out of it, like we do, and even had McAlisters for lunch. But if you know us at all, I’m sure that won’t surprise you! 😆 Once we got to Trader Joe’s, I realized there was not one single Fall item. Nothing. No special pumpkin cookies or Autumn soup. I still managed to find a few of my other favorite things but nothing seasonal. We found out that all the Fall items were arriving the very next Monday so I missed it by just a few days. But that’s okay because I was able to make another special trip back for all the Fall goodies and let me tell you, it was worth it! Some of the things listed I have tried and some of them I haven’t. Even though I wanted to buy everything in sight, it just wasn’t realistic! I’ll be sure to note a few of my favorite things though. Let’s get to it.

1. Fall leaf tortilla chips & Pumpkin tortilla chips. I’ve tried both of these in the past and loved them. They are perfect served with soup on a cool fall day. They also make the perfect fall party chip!

2. Autumn maple coffee. They offer this coffee in k-cups and ground coffee. It has natural maple infused into the coffee. It’s delicious but subtle — like Fall in a cup!

3. Pumpkin biscotti. One of my favorite finds this year. Pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee and the flavors really come through!

4. Triple ginger cookie thins. Very light and subtly sweet. Delicious with coffee or tea.

5. Pumpkin spice hummus. I didn’t purchase this but my dear friend said it’s absolutely delicious – especially with graham crackers! It’s on my list for my next trip! And I think it would pair perfectly with the ginger cookies above!

6. Apple cider foaming hand soap & Honey-crisp apple scented candle. Both of these items smell SO good. They are priced really well, too. My advice: stock up!

7. Pumpkin waffles (frozen) OR Pumpkin pancake & waffle mix. YUM and would pair great with number 8! ⬇️

8. Maple Butter Spread. This is another favorite find, y’all! Think syrup combined with butter to make a delicious spread. Perfection!

9. Maple & Sea Salt Kettle Corn.

10. Pumpkin Butter.

11. Pumpkin spice teeny tiny pretzels.

12. Pumpkin Dog Treats! We can’t forget the pups! Capp loves his pumpkin dog treats!

13. Apple cider donuts. These were amazing! They are fresh, full of flavor, and perfect with your afternoon cup of Joe!

14. Danish Kringle. I would have completely missed this one had it not been for a sweet lady I met. As I was looking at the breads, she came over and grabbed her Kringle. She said that it is her favorite item each year and it always sells out. Naturally I had to try it and it was so good! It ended up being one of my favorite items from this haul! It’s made up of a flaky crust combined with caramel, nuts, and pumpkin!

15. Pumpkin face mask. I put this on for 10 minutes and my face felt so smooth afterwards! You can also leave it on overnight if you prefer. It’s a great price and fun for the Fall season!

16. Pumpkin Spice Rooibos Tea. Lastly, if coffee isn’t your thing, this is a great option! I enjoy it in the evening when I’m winding down for the day!

A few other things I spotted in the store:

– Pumpkin bagels

– Pumpkin cream cheese

– Pumpkin cereal bars

– Several different pumpkin cookies & cookie mix

– Pumpkin granola bark

– Autumn harvest soup
