Some people love shopping at Trader Joe’s for the savings involved. Thanks to the store’s everyday low prices, you generally don’t have to worry about racking up an unreasonably large credit card tab as long as you exercise self-control when roaming the aisles.
Another great thing about Trader Joe’s is that the store is constantly rotating its grocery product lineup. Here are a few of the fabulous items you might find on the shelves this month.
1. Thanksgiving Stuffing Seasoned Popcorn
Some people don’t love serving appetizers before Thanksgiving dinner because they don’t want their guests’ appetites ruined. If you’re looking for some light snacky items to put out before the main meal, this Trader Joe’s popcorn fits the bill. It’s seasoned with spices that include thyme, parsley, and sage to mimic the taste of stuffing. A five-ounce bag will cost you just $2.99, so grab a few to keep your guests happy until you’re ready to officially declare that dinner is served.
2. A Turkey Walks Into a Pumpkin Patch Cookie Kit
Some people are naturally crafty and able to create turkey-shaped desserts with minimal effort. If you’re not one of those people, you can fake it with help from Trader Joe’s. This kit comes with eight pre-baked sugar cookies shaped like turkeys, along with icing, sprinkles, and other items you and your kids can use to decorate. And it only costs $7.99.
3. Iced Gingerbread Squares
When you think of gingerbread, you think cozy nights by the fireplace and holiday warmth. Trader Joe’s is selling a seven-ounce box of gingerbread squares for $4.99. These bars are soft, chewy, and topped with a deliciously sweet icing. Store them in your freezer until you’re ready to serve them, and then thaw them at room temperature for about an hour before cramming them into your mouth with reckless abandon.
4. Chicken Sausage & Cheddar Cheese Breakfast Bake
Need a great breakfast for the morning after Thanksgiving? If the idea of a turkey and stuffing omelet doesn’t appeal to you, but you don’t see yourself wanting to cook after preparing a massive Thanksgiving feast, then let Trader Joe’s help you take a load off. For $8.99, you can buy a 17.6-ounce box of this savory bread pudding featuring chicken sausage and copious amounts of cheddar cheese. All you need to do is pop it in the oven and serve.
5. Baked Pizza Flavored Pillow Crisps
Trader Joe’s has long been a great source for interesting snacks. And this concoction fits the bill. Imagine a crispy snack shaped like ziti pasta that tastes like pizza. It’s a light, airy, and crunchy creation you might enjoy having on hand for that long stretch between lunch and dinner. A 3.5-ounce bag will cost you just $1.99.
It pays to pop into Trader Joe’s this month to check out these and other awesome products, since they may only be available for a limited time. But do note that all Trader Joe’s Stores will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 23 for Thanksgiving. So if you were hoping to do a last-minute run before your big meal, you may need to rethink that particular plan.
