Trader Joe's Haul November 2023

Trader Joe's Haul November 2023

I was in desperate need of a Traders Joe’s trip, so Christopher and I made the long-haul trek to Knoxville to satisfy my craving. 

My goal was to get any fall items they had left and the early winter items. It was a pretty successful trip. We took two coolers, one for refrigerated and one for frozen items. I was going big on this trip.

In our pantry and refrigerated haul, we got Honeycrisp Apple Cider, Egg Nog, an Advent Calendar for Lucy, Milk Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels, Blue and White Felted Garland, Onion Confit Swirls, Harvest Apple Salad, BBQ & Black Pepper Toscana Salad Kit, Pasta, Brioche Toasts, Dark Russet Kettle-Cooked Potato Chips, Teeny Tiny Apple Pies, Sugar Cookie Dough, Mozzarella Cheese Pearls, Asiago Cheese with Rosemary and Olive Oil, and Peanut Butter & Vanilla Dog Treats.

Our frozen haul included three boxes of the All Butter Puff Pastry, Pumpkin Cheesecake Croissants, Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Cakes, Dutch Griddle Cakes, 4 Cheese Pastry Rolls, Double Chocolate Croissants, Organic Wild Blueberries, and Middle Eastern Style Kebabs.

There are a lot of items in this haul that I have never tried before and I am pumped about it. I have been wanting to try the kebabs since they came out, maybe a year ago. I’m also glad I got a couple of my seasonal favorites: The Harvest Apple Salad Kit, Dog Advent Calendar, Egg Nog, and Puff Pastry.

We ate the teeny tiny apple pies pretty much right away and they were great! I hope I can get them again sometime.
