Trader Joe’s Tuesday

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello and happy Tuesday!

I didn’t mean to take a little blogging break, but life has been busy and the world has felt heavy.

I spent the weekend in Tennessee with Hadley and the volleyball team for a tournament. It was a nice little getaway, but then I spent Sunday getting my life together a bit. One of the things I did on Sunday was go to Trader Joe’s, and I hadn’t been in quite a few weeks.

I’m sharing some of my favorite seasonal finds as well as other staples.

This pumpkin muffin mix is definitely a “go to” in the fall. The kids eat these for breakfast, and I will take one for my afternoon snack.

Hadley’s favorite type of breakfast: pumpkin bagels…and pumpkin cream cheese.

I just ran out of my Brazilian body butter that I picked up this summer, and now I’m using the pumpkin one! ‘Tis the season!

Did I need to buy more candles? No. But, how could I resist this cute three pack? The scents are spiced pear, falling leaves, and vanilla woods.

I guess I didn’t look closely because I wasn’t expecting the cute little glass jars. It’s “giving” mini Yankee candles…I’ve already started to burn this one, and it’s perfect.

I did not buy them, but these “tear drop” grapes stopped me in my tracks. What will they think of next? Has anyone tried these? Those are some big ‘ol tears!

A few other things I bought that tend to be family favorites:

  • Corn dippers – I knew I was making taco soup for dinner last night, and these are the perfect topping.
  • Buffalo chicken dip -The corn dippers are also perfect with the dip which is a great snack.
  • Rosemary Marcona almonds- I love a handful of these!
  • Barebells protein bars – These are my “go to” snack, but I usually eat half one day and the other half the next.
  • Cheddar chicken sausage – I take one of these for lunch pretty often.
  • Honeycrisp apples – Do you know what makes me decide to go to Trader Joe’s? When I run out of my favorite apples. These are the perfect size, and I like to cut one up and dip it in a little peanut butter.

Nothing like twenty minutes in Trader Joe’s to help me feel like I’m getting my life back on track. Sunday, I also had a few groceries delivered, and then I picked up the rest of what I needed for the week via Kroger Clicklist yesterday after school. Kroger is also the MVP of my life right now.

  1. I love a smaller apple! Perfect! And, I didn’t know the candles were in the cute jars! Need! I love these posts because people always introduce me to something I never buy or didn’t know about. TJ’s really shines at the holidays!

  2. Isn’t Trader Joe’s the best? Our Trader Joe’s in Knoxville is not very big so they don’t always have everything (or I just can’t find it) that other bloggers seem to have in their locations. Last week I went in and picked up some pumpkin bagels, the pumpkin bread mix, and some pumpkin…and a plant in a card. When I was checking out, the lady said, “that’s a great plant – where are you going to put it?” and I told her it was my “decide once” (Lazy Genius). Whenever I have a birthday or want a hostess gift, I go to TJ’s and buy a plant (and a card if I need one). Never have to wonder what I’m going to get and always know they’ll have something great. I feel like I ate long grapes like that growing up?
