The demo lady at my TJ's told me the BEST cheese platter contains something old(aged), something new (young not aged like Bre or Camembert), something fun (flavored or has add ins) and something blue (Gorgonzola is pretty mild for blue) for cheese. Add something fresh like fruit or cucumbers), nuts and some sorta topping she said a bit of jam or mustard. I have been following her way for YEARS and I always get complemented, its funny bc I do not eat dairy at all.
Have you tried that garlic spread with cauliflower mashed? I roast garlic and add it to cauliflower mashed, ghee, salt and pepper it’s delicious. Can be mashed potatoes too.
Katie- try the garlic sauce on a avocado toast. I do a piece of sour dough, spread the garlic spread, avocado smash, grilled halloumi cheese, arugula, squeeze of lemon, and zaa’tar seasoning. It’s sooooooooo gooooooood!!
Katie, I always buy what u show.. I haven’t been disappointed. My family loves everything from frozen foods to breads, snacks and everything in between. I love Trader Joe’s. Thanks for doing these hauls, I learned a lot from u and just loving what I buy. Thanks for sharing. 💕👍🏻
Those blush roses are GORGEOUS!! Their 💐 are really a treat! The pre-made Greek salad is yummy either as a base or a fast meal. Ive never seen the dried mandarins 🍊, definitely going to look for those!
I'm making my list! Thank you Katie! Even though I've shopped at TJ's for 20 years, you always mention at least one item that I didn't know about or remind me of things I haven't bought for a long time! I'm going to get the mango cookies (if I can find them) for my grandson, who loves anything mango!
I love the sparkling watermelon juice! I don't drink alcohol so it is a fun summer swap. What I have really been wanting to try are those ciabatta rolls, I think I'm going to pick some up tomorrow. What kind of sandwich do you make with them?
Amazing haul! Thanks, Katie! I keep looking for the everything ciabatta but my store hasn't had it yet. I did get the new sun dried tomato focaccia you showed last time and it was fantastic.
For the garlic dip, I buy the chicken shawarma thighs from TJs and make a shawarma wrap with fries and pickles. It is also great with just plain fries.
It’s 2022 and I’ve only been watching you for the last year or so! Figured it would be fun to go back in time and see what products I wasn’t hip to & see some of your old favs. Cute that Benson was only 2 🥹. Maybe for a future video idea you could react to some of your old content? Either agreeing you still love these, maybe you aren’t a fan any more, recipe/supplier changes, or products have since been discounted? But you do you! I’ll always be a subscriber 🎉 thanks for the videos Katie
That soy chorizo is amazing and I’m not Vegan. I always buy it. The everything but the bagel seasoning is a must in my household. I’ve never tried the feta and champagne dressings before; I’ve always seen them, but never bought them. I’m on weight watchers and I don’t recall not buying those dressings because they’re a bit high in points. The everything ciabatta bread sounds amazing, but I try and steer clear of bread. The sourdough bread is definitely delish. I buy it all the time for my daughter ❤️
I never bought the garlic spread. Maybe a topping for bake potatoes, or add into mash potatoes. Add it in a soup for a creamy texture and flavor. I love garlic and I would love that product. I love it on piece of bread with some olives . I am getting hungry .😀Great haul . 💛
That was a great haul. I miss the bagged salad that had candied ginger pieces and some very yummy salad dressing. Reminded me of a salad we got years ago from a Japanese restaurant. I haven’t been able to find that one. 😕 I watched your video on the Taco Bell tacos. Hopefully my TJ’s carries the “meat” products. Thanks, Katie.
Every week I buy the organic grass fed sliced Cheddar from New Zealand...best Cheddar ever...and grass fed is bonus...or maybe that is reason it is so good!
Surprised to hear the whole wheat dough has been discontinued! Love the soy chorizo! But I try not too have too much due to the high sodium. Wish they could reduce the amount of salt while keeping the flavor! Southwest salad is definitely the best one. Great picks!
I love those frozen birds nests, but I wish TJ's would bring the other item they made, which was a variety box containing the nests, & random other veggies.
What about the garlic spread on one of the every chibbata rolls with a a ton of fresh veggies for a sandwich?! Or some roasted zucchini and eggplant with toasted bread and garlic spread!
Great haul. Would you consider doing a haul of frozen foods that are delicious AND low ish in salt, say less than 300 grams per serving? Thanks again for all the hard work you do on the hauls. Your fan Tammie from Northern Ca.
I use it in salads, or sprinkle it on eggs or hummus and veggies. I will toast Ezekiel bread, spread the Kerry Gold cheese on it and top with the seasoning. It is so good.
I use it with smoked salmon sandwiches! Pastrami style smoked salmon, whipped cream cheese, red onion, capers, cucumbers, and an everything bagel or pumpernickel bread. It's so good for any meal (I work late nights sometimes, and it's a great quick dinner).
Awesome haul!!! Thank you!! Great ideas & suggestions, as always!! ♥️👍🏼😘 Also!!! Thank you for asking for suggestions for garlic dip!! Love it sooo much! I’d love more ideas on how to use it!! ♥️ I use it on wraps with hummus!
Another great haul Katie! I always enjoy seeing what you get. I was looking for the low carb tortillas, but the Manager said they are not available in my area. I hope you got a taste of Tim’s birthday Bar you made him and that he had a great Birthday!! Thank you.💕
@@KatieHespe I am currently crippled and it's hard to get out of the house, much less shop, so my son does all my stocking up. It's easy to compile a list for Meijer's (a midwest chain) because they display ALL their products in an online database. Not the case with Trader Joe's. Their website is pretty pathetic and their "Fearless flyer" (also a joke compared to Meijer's) features products that are often sold out by the time we shop. Thanks to your videos I can "virtually shop" where my legs don't take me, and compile a list of new things to try. Just want you are a blessing to me and probably many others in the same boat.
Oh, Katie, how I look forward to your videos every week! I love your excitement about the items that make you happiest. :o) The vegetable birds' nests are delicious and handy to keep in the freezer. That Southwestern Chopped Salad is my absolute favorite right now! I buy a bag (or 2) every time I go to TJ's because I'm afraid it's going to disappear. LOL! Video idea for you: Could you film some of the ways in which you use the EBTB Seasoning? I love it with my avocado toast, eggs, and in cauliflower rice. I'd love to see other ways in which you use it to enhance your food. :o) Thanks for sharing with us!
I buy seasoning REALLY REALLY similar to Traders Joe from IHERBS from Italy, they ship through Amsterdam, so you can prepay also taxes and all, and they arrive in amazing condition love that website, I also have a affiliate code I buy pretty much all things I cant find in Italy and it's amazing to try new seasonings or products in general 🤩🥰😍💖
Re: "Everything But The Bagel Seasoning". Walmart makes this as well! I was shocked to see it. If you can't make it to a Trader Joes, look for it at your local WalMart! Yes people, it's true.
What about a favorites haul under $5 I had no idea they had cards-wow 99 cents! Seasonings; wine, sweets, I bet there are a lot under $5 or under $4 even😇😜
It took forever for my Trader Joe's to get the Everything rolls...they are phenomenal and I use the lower sodium salami and cheese to make a sandwich. The Frittata are good...so many good things!! You did forget the Hatch Chili Mac and Cheese!! I was naughty and I totally stocked up!!
Am I the first comment?? Yay. Great haul! I want to try the garlic dip. I love TJ garlic hummus! I also want to try the protein burgers. Happy Friday :)
Great TJ haul! I’m a bit confused on your conflicting comment of I’m staying healthy by ‘unplugging my microwave for 5-6 months now’ but yet you say with great conviction that you love cooking the jasmine rice in the microwave? Otherwise, a good and informative video 👍🏽
You can do party meatballs in a crockpot, breaded mozzarella sticks, and the frozen spinach dip with some tortilla chips. I’m posting the new stuff today and I show a new appetizer called buffalo style chicken poppers that Tim loved.
@@KatieHespe Thank you so much! I'm actually bringing the appetizers to my daughter's house tomorrow and I was just hoping to bring maybe one homemade and a couple of frozen ones. 💕
Kimberley Jesus Loves you, give your life to Jesus, accept him as his Lord and Saviour; the word of God says in John 14:3 "Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through me" Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, be blessed; 😄😀

Love your hauls!👍🏻
Trader Joe’s has the best flowers at the best prices.

I love your hauls. I went to TJ 3 days ago and I bought 4 items you recommended, thank you !
Thank goodness for you with the inside scoop on all TJ deliciousness! You're delightful!
For anyone looking for the everything but the bagel seasoning but don’t have a Trader Joe’s , Walmart has a version of it and it’s very well priced

I actually did that a few months back. I reacted to my first Trader Joe’s haul. 😊
@@KatieHespe how could I miss that! Thank you so much 😊 and happy Halloween weekend!
I would love to see a cheese video for Trader Joes. It is so overwhelming and I wouldn't know where to start!
that garlic dip has been around for a while! i’ve always had it mixed in with hummus and having it with some veggies and pita chips
Great video so many new things for my family to try💞
Love so many of these items! My husband and I are Gaga over the egg frittatas!!
I use the garlic spread as a base for some vegan white pasta sauce!
The garlic spread is a good substitute for mayo on sandwiches! Really good, or as a dip for veggies
love that flower arrangement and this is a great video!
Yummiest seasoning on the cauliflower....CURRY powder with salt and pepper, roasted! SO RICH AND TASTY!
With lemon juice.

I’ve been obsessed with your videos lately! Thanks for doing all that you do. ☺️
Love that sparkling watermelon water. No to sweet , it’s refreshing. I will check T.J. today! Thanks for the video

I love garlic and I would love that product. I love it on piece of bread with some olives . I am getting hungry .😀Great haul . 💛
Great ideas Yvette, thank you!
Great Haul! Now I’m going to have to go to TJ’s tmrw! ❤️ your kitty cat top so cute!
I use the garlic spread dip to make “middle eastern” wraps along with hummus, seitan, cucumbers, tomatoes all wrapped up in a warm pita. So good 😍🥙
Loved this, can’t wait to pick up and try the Tikka Masala and the egg frittata this weekend 😊
That was a great haul. I miss the bagged salad that had candied ginger pieces and some very yummy salad dressing. Reminded me of a salad we got years ago from a Japanese restaurant.

A D I try to mix it with beans or tofu or other bland things to use is almost as a flavoring agent.
I could watch your Trader Joe's videos all day ! I definitely need to get back, its been a few weeks now. Have a fantastic weekend xo
So many good things and many of my faves. Still have to get the watermelon beverage
The watermelon drink was so delicious, but it’s been out of stock😐
thanks for sharing! i just started shopping there i will try the power 7 juices and the everything ciabatta rolls
I love those frozen birds nests, but I wish TJ's would bring the other item they made, which was a variety box containing the nests, & random other veggies.
Jane Doe Me too! Loved the tempura veggies! 🤗
These are a real bummer when I don’t have a TJs anywhere near me lol but I just found you and love these videos!
Buy the ciabatta rolls every time I go...seeds or not, they’re the best.
Thanks Katie, I get such good ideas from you and it makes shopping at TJ easier.
Looking forward to going to Trader Joe's over the weekend. TY
I love the ciabatta rolls with pumpkin seeds and the sweet plantain chips. Yum!!
What about the garlic spread on one of the every chibbata rolls with a a ton of fresh veggies for a sandwich?! Or some roasted zucchini and eggplant with toasted bread and garlic spread!
Hello from Canada🇨🇦 . Love your videos and sweet family❣️
Spectacular!!! So many new to me things to look for

Please let me know what you put the everything but the bagel seasoning on.
I sprinkle it on salad, avocado toast and eggs.
I use it on avocado toast, eggs, and sometimes my salads. I have also heard it's great on veggies baked in the oven.
I use it in salads, or sprinkle it on eggs or hummus and veggies. I will toast Ezekiel bread, spread the Kerry Gold cheese on it and top with the seasoning. It is so good.
I make spicy tuna or salmon sushi and add it to that, very delicious

You get such interesting juice flavours! Nothing like that here!
I was helped by you , Thank you so much. I love your flower .
Awesome haul!!! Thank you!!
Great ideas & suggestions, as always!! ♥️👍🏼😘
Also!!! Thank you for asking for suggestions for garlic dip!! Love it sooo much!
I’d love more ideas on how to use it!! ♥️
I use it on wraps with hummus!
Great idea Lindy, thank you!
I haven’t seen the cards at my TJ :(
So glad I found your channel as I’m a new TJ shopper & I’m hooked!!
I can never find the bean and cheese burrito, it is refrigerated or frozen? Thanks
It's refrigerated, usually near the pre made salads.
Another great haul Katie! I always enjoy seeing what you get. I was looking for the low carb tortillas, but the Manager said they are not available in my area. I hope you got a taste of Tim’s birthday Bar you made him and that he had a great Birthday!! Thank you.💕
power green is so good they always sell out love ur hauls
Use the garlic spread to make pita wraps! With falafel, yumm
I would love a haul of all your vegan favorites.
What a great Friday watching your haul 🙌🏻✅💕💐
I like TJ peanut pretzels, been buying them for years
Thanks for your informative videos. By the way, if you have a saucepan with a lid, you have a rice cooker!
True!

I had no idea they had cards-wow 99 cents! Seasonings; wine, sweets, I bet there are a lot under $5 or under $4 even😇😜
going in a Trader Joes store is basically like entering Heaven
Would love the Bruschetta Dip recipe but don't see it in the down bar. Maybe you could add it to the next haul's down bar? Thanks, Katie.
Whoops. Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/nMGHuKzoE8Y/v-deo.html
With that garlic spread/dip I wonder if u can make garlic bread? Love your channel just subscribed by the way xo!
confused, in canada we can get guava gts year round!!
The Cubano Wrap is addictive.
Great haul. I can't find the sparkling watermelon juice at my Trader Joe's...so sad.
Sunshine Harrison I can’t find the sparking watermelon either. I have looked two weeks in a row now
@@meghanlynch5195 My store had it this week, but I didn't like it. It tastes like the rind of the watermelon. Not for me.
It took forever for my Trader Joe's to get the Everything rolls...they are phenomenal and I use the lower sodium salami and cheese to make a sandwich. The Frittata are good...so many good things!! You did forget the Hatch Chili Mac and Cheese!! I was naughty and I totally stocked up!!
So yum!!
Does TJs bread stand up to freezing?
I love how you speak.
Awesome haul. I wrote some things down and will go to trader this week
I loved this video! Hahah I see you buying those Everything Ciabatta Rolls every week.
I wish my store carried the garlic spread. They only carry 1 vegan spread and that is the pesto. I love the unsalted tortilla chips!!
I loved the South African Style Potato Chips. And I miss them. :(
The garlic spread. Wouldn’t it make good garlic bread?
Yes! Why didn't I think of that lol, great idea!
Thank you for the videos for sure I going to buy a few of this item.
Am I the first comment?? Yay. Great haul! I want to try the garlic dip. I love TJ garlic hummus! I also want to try the protein burgers. Happy Friday :)
Happy Friday Donna!
Pasta is pronounced or ah key yet ee and gee lee. Second g is silent. 💝. Love your videos.
I feel like making some sort of cheesy garlic bread with that spread would be dangerously delicious 😬😍
Great TJ haul! I’m a bit confused on your conflicting comment of I’m staying healthy by ‘unplugging my microwave for 5-6 months now’ but yet you say with great conviction that you love cooking the jasmine rice in the microwave? Otherwise, a good and informative video 👍🏽
You’re right, I should have clarified...I meant convenience for anyone microwaving, but I cook mine on the stove top 😊
Katie Hespe thanks for clarifying! I always enjoy your TJ picks! 😊
Katie...only a little over a month and the FALL stuff will start coming in. Aaaah. Can you believe it?
AHHH it's crazy!
Great haul Katie!
I like to dip carrots into the garlic dip :)
Warning: don’t watch this video if you don’t want to be hungry after!
For real!!!!! I want that mac n cheese with the watermelon 🍉 drink.
Just curious, why do you not have your microwave plugged in??
New to the channel. Why is the microwave not plugged in? Haah
Is that white bread good because they say all white bread is bad
Yes, I always have those pizza crusts in my freezer!
I really enjoyed this haul. TFS
Great video and thanks Katie, now my list is growing even more 😩😂❤️👍
Great video! I love your videos, I have tried so many new products thanks to you sharing. TJ is really the best!
Katie I need your help. What are your favorite appetizers to get for a group of hungry teenagers?!!! 😁
You can do party meatballs in a crockpot, breaded mozzarella sticks, and the frozen spinach dip with some tortilla chips. I’m posting the new stuff today and I show a new appetizer called buffalo style chicken poppers that Tim loved.
@@KatieHespe Thank you so much! I'm actually bringing the appetizers to my daughter's house tomorrow and I was just hoping to bring maybe one homemade and a couple of frozen ones. 💕
i was shocked to see the diced mandarin oranges, never ran across them
Grocery list has been made! I have to know where you got that adorable cat tee shirt?
Got it from Kohl's, I will try and find a link for you.
I have not been to Kohls is years but have plans to go there tomorrow! Thanks for letting me know. hopefully I can find it there :)@@KatieHespe
How perfect! It looks like it may not be in the stores any more, but it is on clearance on their website right now: bit.ly/2Jz2xOk

Ohhh I bet that garlic spread will go real good rolled up in pastry dough and some kind of jam, like apricot.
How much of a discount do you get?
Lisa Miller TJ employees get a 10% discount on their purchases.
