We Love Trader Joe’s, But Are These Viral Items on Your Food List?
W/H: Here Are Our Favorite Trader Joe’s Items This Fall
We know there are endless reasons Black women love Trader Joe’s. It’s a haven for affordable, healthy options, and great finds, plus some of the friendliest staff around. The Root has assembled our favorite items to get from Trader Joe’s this fall.
Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix
Even if pumpkin lattes repulse you, stay with us, friend. The boxed pumpkin bread and muffin mix may be the treat you need this season. TikTokker @maki added chocolate chips for a little extra razzle dazzle.
@makigirmaaa pumpkin chocolate chip bread
using trader joe’s boxed pumpkin bread and muffin mix! this was soooooo yummy and easy & my family demolished this
also i’ve been wanting to try this mix for so long and im so glad i tried it because i will be baking with it again
*also some changes i made to the recipe: – i put olive oil instead of vegetable oil: this is solely because i didn’t have vegetable oil. – i used an 8×8 pan to bake this, as opposed to the recipe which called for a 9×5 pan: again, i don’t have a loaf pan so i just used an 8×8 and it worked perfectly. – i baked it at 325 degeees fahrenheit for about 65 minutes, as opposed to the recipe which said 350 for 55-60 minutes. i baked it at a lower temp cause i added the batter into a bigger pan, so i wanted it to bake evenly and slowly, preventing underbaking then potentially burning the top. – i added chocolate chips! i’ve always loved chocolate chip pumpkin bread, and i think chocolate makes everything better, so why not add chocolate?!?! #baking #pumpkin #fallbaking #fallrecipes #bakingtiktok
Cheese
If you’re building a charcuterie board, don’t skip Trader Joe’s cheese selection. The Mango Ginger Stilton has a subtle sweetness, while cranberry goat cheese is another seasonal favorite. Grab your favorite crackers and add berries or jam for a spread that looks much more expensive than it is.
Gingerbread Oat Creamer
@kmaeleee Let’s try the traders Joe’s gingerbread oat creamer
#traderjoesfinds#coffeefinds#coffeecreamer

Calling all coffee drinkers! If you’re one of the approximately 33 percent of coffee connoisseurs who prefer plant-based creamer, this one is for you. Their gingerbread non-dairy oat creamer has gotten plenty of nods, whether you’re going for decadence in a cup or simply topping off your black coffee.
Autumnal Harvest Creamy Pasta Sauce
This seasonal pasta sauce has been the subject of some serious gatekeeping. Made with pumpkin and butternut squash, it’s creamy and savory. Try it with their pumpkin-shaped pasta if you can find it, then add sausage, spinach, onions or whatever you need to make it your own.
Carolina Gold BBQ Chips
@thelavelleshow Replying to @Brandy Friend how have I never had these?!
#traderjoes #traderjoesfoodreviews #CarolinagoldBBQchips #vlog
While these chips aren’t exactly a fall staple, their BBQ flavor with a mustardy twist might satisfy your need for crunch on your cheat day. Just try not to eat the whole bag.
Flowers
@lornaindc People are always like “buy yourself flowers!” but nobody wants to waste their money on flowers that will die in a week

| DC & Coffee Shops
No matter the time of year, Trader Joe’s is the perfect place to buy flowers to enhance your home’s aesthetic or lift a loved one’s spirits. There’s always a nice variety, and something is to be said about how long they last at an affordable price point.
Sweetened Dried Orange Slices
While these dried orange slices can be eaten as a snack, they are also great for adding a touch of sweetness to your tea or your favorite sangria. And if you’re an Old Fashioned kind of girl, use it as a garnish, but don’t forget to eat it when you’re done. Yes, the rind is edible.
Assorted Crackers
While you’re working on that charcuterie board, pick up Trader Joe’s box of assorted crackers with four options to choose from for a beautiful spread that won’t blow your budget.
Chili & Lime Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips
If your kids love Takis but you’re sick of seeing those red sticky fingers and want fewer additives, try these for a tangy alternative at a lower price point.
Wine
Inflation raised the price of Charles Shaw’s Two Buck Chuck, but whether you like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, White Zinfandel, or another variety, Trader Joe’s selection is impressive and affordable. This Fall, they have an apple pie wine you can enjoy cold or warm, and while reviews may be divided, you’re sure to find something whether you’re cuddled up on the couch or heading to girls’ night.
Marula Oil Cream Cleanser
While you’re picking up groceries, don’t forget Trader Joe’s cosmetics. Try the marula oil cream cleanser for your skincare routine without the luxury price tag.
Pumpkin Blondie Brownies
Pumpkin and blondies? Yes, please. These seasonal treats are an easy way to satisfy your fall sweet tooth without pulling out the mixing bowls. Just grab a box and enjoy.
Vegetable Samosas
@thelavelleshow The way these got me in a chokehold right now friend
#traderjoes #traderjoesfoodreviews #traderjoesmusthaves #samosas
These bitesized vegetable pastries with a crispy dough are a bit spicy and can be dangerous if you eat too many. Don’t claim them as “health food,” but you can do worse.
