One of the many reasons I love to watch your videos is that you are so honest! You don't just buy things you like and during taste tests you are polite when you say you don't like something instead of hating on it.
Before the virus, I used to love taking my time and browsing the aisles at TJs for all the new things. Your videos take the place of that now, I appreciate your insights and now I can write down what I'd like to try and get in and out of the store quickly without missing out on the good new items! Thank you!
Yes, as Margaret, I’m so appreciative. I used to love to browse the store for hours. Now I take screenshots of products with the price. I text them to my husband in the order they are in from the moment he walks in the store, along with a list of the usual stuff. This method allows him to get in & out very quickly & without having to ask where he can find items. Both my husband & I thank you so much, Katie. You’re making our lives easier! ♥️♥️♥️ P.S. Katie, is there a TJ’s grocery list of items in the store?
Katie is the “Batman” of strong loving families. When I see the push notification alert on my phone I watch the video as soon as I can with my girlfriend and Katie’s earnest attitude and relationship with Tim and Benson make me want to call my Mom and sister bc I am reminded that family is everything . This year has been tough for many if not most families, but Katy’s videos are a “bat signal” that makes me remember the good in the world. Thank you Katie
Katie, this is from Colorado Again you do such professional, understandable, comprehensive haul(s) each week. You need your own TV show, you're that good and your effort really shows! Go girl and happy holidays to you and all of your family -fur balls included :)
I use to watch your videos by myself. Now, every Saturday morning I play your video on the TV and my 5yr old daughter and 7 yr old son love watching too. They love Benson too. ❤️
I enjoy your videos so much! You’re the only one that I’m subscribed too in regards to a TJ haul! I love your videos! So thoughtful and informational. I can’t wait to see the taste test and Tim’s reaction to those cheeses lol
Katie thank you so much for your TJs videos!! Your personality is very charming to watch, and these vids are so helpful & informative! Where I live covid is still very very real & my husband is high risk, so I don't like to leisure my way through the store like I used to. Your videos help me pre-browse haha so thank you!! 💜
Don’t listen to Katie this time. Haha!That coconut , chocolate, Oat bark is sooooo good. I just bought the pumpkin one and haven’t tried it yet, but I can’t wait too. I bet it’s even better if you like pumpkin stuff.
I love the dark chocolate sunflower seed butter cups. I put them in the freezer and they are so good. Ive been buying the 2 pack for the last few years.
Love your hauls. I am in Utah and love that bag! I was just there today and need to go back. Should have watched you before my trip! The cold pressed orange juice and apple cider donuts are my fav!
I love your videos! Can you suggest serving options for some of the less obvious hauls? I’d like to get some of the items but have no idea how to serve some of the items.
I bought so much pumpkin stuff from your last haul, I'm a little pumpkin out! LOL! The jalapeno puffs and the pumpkin smoothie was a miss for me I love the pumpkin cream cheese, so good! Can't wait to try that veggie soup. And a big Yes on those puff pastries.
That was a fantastic Hall! So many amazing items, and last week I tried the Pumpkin cream cheese spread it is incredible! First time for me, I'm interested in a lot of things you showed for the taste test especially the garden vegetable soup looks really good. I also hope I can get my hands on that pumpkin Body Butter! Big Hugs :-)
Wow what a great haul!! Can’t wait for the taste test! You are right... the Maple Sea Salt popcorn takes you to another realm LOL And the Uganda chocolate bar is really good... sweeter than I thought it would be ..tastes great with red wine! I love the Truffle ketchup but my TJ doesn’t have it any more... I thought it was seasonal. Thanks for the great haul video!
I totally forgot about that maple struesal bread! I don't know how I forgot about it because I was obsessed with it last year!! That Harvest Chili was so good last year that I had to locate a copycat recipe. My oldest son and I loved it, and since he has a hearty appetite, he can devour a container by himself. (He's 25.) I think the copycat recipe is pretty close. I went to T.J.'s today, and my store didn't have a lot of the new items. They had some of them,, but not all. I'm in NY, and I notice that my store gets the new items in a few weeks after you show them in your videos. But, as a long-time subscriber, I now make a list during your taste test videos of items you and your family like. That way I have it as a reminder of what to look for on my next trip.
@@KatieHespe I would be happy to share the recipe with you. I'll grab the link and edit this reply to add it here when I'm done. And your videos are so enjoyable. I appreciate all the effort you put into them!
I loved your haul Katie. I want to try those garlic naan crackers and the vanilla bean paste. By the way, your hair color and make up looks amazing. You are absolutely glowing today.
I was holding my phone this morning when the video posted and I got to watch one minute. Finally, at almost midnight I watch before falling asleep! Yayyy! Tomorrow you'll probably keep me company on our way to Yosemite (Sonora technically) Thanks so much for all the effort that goes into these hauls!! Peace and love
I love your hauls. I'm in Missouri and when I go every week. I tell the checker NO bags. They put my groceries back in the cart and I bag it in my reusable bags when I get to my car. I've been doing this every since the no bag policy. It works GREAT! I encourage everyone to do the same as it's much better for the environment and it helps the workers not having to double bag all that paper. IJS. 😊
Went to Trader Joe's today! Picked up the hold the mini cones in pumpkin, OH my they're delicious!!! Picked up several other things and can't wait to try them!!! Great video ☺️.
Katie I am loving this look! Love your make up and hair. I can't wait to go shopping and get my hands on these items. I love the truffle ketchup also I wish it wasn't seasonal. They need to sell that Forever!
Thank you for the wonderful video! I went to TJ’s yesterday and they were sold out of the one thing I really wanted... hold the cone in the pumpkin flavor! Oh well I will just have to try again in the next week or two 🙂
As an Italian, I just wanted to chime in on the Zucchette Pasta. Make sure you use an ample amount of water. You want to give the pasta enough space to move around. I would also take the pasta out when it is very al dente (3-4 minutes before it's done) and finish cooking it directly in the sauce you use. It might simply be that your pasta is old. I know you just bought it but maybe TJ's stockpiles these speciality pasta in a warehouse for years. Old pasta gets very dry and can break.
Thank you for doing these every week, that way I can make a list and try to stick to a budget (haha, at trader joes that doesn't actually happen :D)! Have you heard anything about the angus beef chili (it was in the fridge section) coming back this year? That was my favorite chili and I would totally stock up if they have it again!
I haven’t heard if it’s coming back but I remember last year it came in later then the Harvest chili so maybe it will follow suit this year. It did well so I’m assuming not will be back.
I got the Apple fruit snacks, I was really impressed by the clean ingredients. They taste really good. The cornbread biscotti sounds good dipped in that chili you like
Hi Katie, Thanks for the new haul! And my Trader Joe’s in Brooklyn, NY has been letting us use the reusable bags this entire time. They have a separate cart at each register that we can put the bags into and then pack ourselves. It works well! Though I’d share just in case your store is looking for a way to transition.
Unfortunately my Captain has weekly meetings to find out what we can do about reusable bags and it’s still a no go. We have a table set up outside for customers to bag outside. I wish we could do something like your store is doing but they say outside bagging only at this time.
I really don’t know why I keep tormenting myself by watching these videos...I live in the UK and we don’t have Trader Joe’s here 😭😭😭 honestly think I’m going to have to go on holiday to America in the autumn so I can fill an extra suitcase with TJs Fall snacks 😂
I so need to go back for those pumpkin blondies! My local Trader Joe's (NY) is giving the plastic reusable bags as the default now; not sure if they've just run out of the paper or they decided to switch, but they're really cute bags.
Love your review look forward to them every week! The cornbread biscotti are so good taste just like cornbread and not hard like regular ones! Would be good with chili they are not overly sweet, and more savory then sweet, but a sweet that cornbread has not like dessert!
The pumpkin pasta looks so cute.. even though I can't eat it.. I love the little candles in tins. this one probably smells great. I don't like beer but my husband does and that looks interesting... It would either be good or gross. :)
@@dawndrake5833 I loved the lemon cookies one and the pine one.. I just had my husband stop at Trader's today and they didn't have the beer, or the hand soap but did get the candle tins. They smell really great.
Did they change the Pumpkin Walks Into a Bar? I have gotten the before, but I ate one today that seems a lot more "flavored" tasting/full of cinnamon/nutmeg flavor than I remember. I thought they were pretty mild before
I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THE SUNFLOWER BUTTER CUPS! I buy 3 everytime I go and have always wished they came in a bigger size! Closest I can get to peanut butter cups with all my allergies ❤️

Thank you Maureen. I’m glad that is conveyed through my videos because both Tim and I are always honest 😊

Same here. Now I barely go and when I do it's stressful bc the customers are oblivious ☹️
I do that as well! Ty, Katie!

I SWEAR FALL IS THE BEST TIME TO SHOP AT TRADER JOES!!!! I literally STOCK UP on these items so I have them for a better part of the year
Beautiful!!!❤💙
I love Fall!! Everything about it makes me so happy.
@@KatieHespe As a November baby, I concur!!! :-)
That cheese looks like the foam padding that was underneath the carpet from the 1970s I ripped up...lol.
Bahaha 🤣 I can picture this!!!
Accurate 😂😂
That is why it looks familiar. I remember that!

Wow what an amazing compliment. I really took what you said to heart and appreciate such amazing subscribers like yourself. Thank you 😊
That's wonderful! Katie's channel is PG-13 and filled with love :-)
I love that you put the prices of everything. That helps so much!!
Katie, this is from Colorado Again you do such professional, understandable, comprehensive haul(s) each week. You need your own TV show, you're that good and your effort really shows! Go girl and happy holidays to you and all of your family -fur balls included :)
I heard the cornbread biscotti is really good for dipping into soups, any soup with fall flavors, a chili, or a tomato soup I bet would be super good!
Glad to hear that and thanks for the tip 😊
My son loves the butternut squash mac and cheese! I will be stocking up as I just purchased a new freezer and have ample room. Tfs!
I use to watch your videos by myself. Now, every Saturday morning I play your video on the TV and my 5yr old daughter and 7 yr old son love watching too. They love Benson too. ❤️
I love the toasted coconut chocolate granola. It’s just the right amount of sweetness and not overwhelming. Thank you for pointing it out!
Yes, there are many TJ's hauls, but there is only one Katie Hespe, and yours is the bestest!!! 🤗🤗🤗
❤️❤️❤️
@@KatieHespe I agree!!💖

Queen of Trader Joe’s haul.
👸🏼 😘
You do an amazing job. Your the reason I love Trader Joe’s so much. Thanks ❤️
It’s literally not a Friday without your hauls!!! Thank you so much for doing these!
TGIF and thank you!
Don’t listen to Katie this time. Haha!That coconut , chocolate, Oat bark is sooooo good. I just bought the pumpkin one and haven’t tried it yet, but I can’t wait too. I bet it’s even better if you like pumpkin stuff.
There are a lot of TJ haul videos on YT but yours is the best by far! Thank you! I make my TJ list based on your videos!
Thanks girl ❤️
Fall is just the best thing ever. The crisp weather, the food (including hearty soup), candles, sweatshirts, etc
I love the dark chocolate sunflower seed butter cups. I put them in the freezer and they are so good. Ive been buying the 2 pack for the last few years.
this was so fun to watch! i just did a trader joe's taste test and was so surprised by their goodies this fall!!
Please make a video on what you do with the glass jars!
Love your hauls. I am in Utah and love that bag! I was just there today and need to go back. Should have watched you before my trip! The cold pressed orange juice and apple cider donuts are my fav!

First time for me, I'm interested in a lot of things you showed for the taste test especially the garden vegetable soup looks really good. I also hope I can get my hands on that pumpkin Body Butter!

Your Trader Joe's hauls are the best! I occasionally watch some others, but I love that yours are the most comprehensive.
I'd love to know what you make with that cute butternut pasta! Can you do a recipe video? :D
Wow what a great haul!! Can’t wait for the taste test! You are right... the Maple Sea Salt popcorn takes you to another realm LOL And the Uganda chocolate bar is really good... sweeter than I thought it would be ..tastes great with red wine! I love the Truffle ketchup but my TJ doesn’t have it any more... I thought it was seasonal. Thanks for the great haul video!
Katie! you’re glowing! absolutely loving these fall halls and your pumpkin shirt
I bet the cornbread biscotti would be great in the fall soups!
I just refer to you as my friend to my husband and he’s like YOU DONT KNOW HER 😂😂😂
Haha I love that. We can be internet friends 💕
everything looks so yummy 🤤 i love shopping during the fall/winter at trader joes so much!!!
That’s brilliant! Corn bread biscottis with chili! Yum!
What do you guys make with the puff pastry?
I liked before it even started! These are soooo helpful thank you🙏🏼
You’re the best, thank you!
Yes you nailed it love the butternut squash mac and cheese

Here is the link to the chili recipe:
glitterinc.com/copycat-crockpot-trader-joes-vegetarian-harvest-chili/
Thank you!!
Yesss mystery bags I got one last year and can’t use them but I love them!!
Did they ever bring back the light mozzarella?
I love warm cornbread and milk, so perhaps the biscotti would be good dipped in warmed milk!
For an adult dessert it would be nice to have the pumpkin spice Lacore drizzled over vanilla ice cream Yum!
I am out of the black summer truffle ketchup!! Can't find it anymore. Is this a summer item?
It is seasonal. I think this is the last week my store has it :( until next year.
Can't wait for the taste test! You make me want to run out to TJ's immediately! Lol!
This is the best kind of fall haul. Forget boots and sweaters 🎃
Right?!
I just got home from trader Joe's! Smh looks like I'll be going back!!
Haha I’ve been at least 4 times this week...but I do work there...so there’s that 😂
I loved your haul Katie. I want to try those garlic naan crackers and the vanilla bean paste. By the way, your hair color and make up looks amazing. You are absolutely glowing today.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Since I went Keto a few weeks ago, I can't eat most of this stuff, but watching anyway because I love how you present everything :) Happy Fall!!
On the Biscotti my grandfather used to do milk and cornbread together. Maybe with milk? Just a thought.
Loves! Stopping and adding to my list!!
I was holding my phone this morning when the video posted and I got to watch one minute. Finally, at almost midnight I watch before falling asleep! Yayyy!

Great tip, going to do the same from here forward!
We bring a walking cart (no car) and bag outside the store.
Katie, you are looking extra gorgeous today! Also, your hauls are the BEST! ❤
Omggggg the harvest chili is my favorite!!! You just made my weekend!
Went to Trader Joe's today! Picked up the hold the mini cones in pumpkin, OH my they're delicious!!! Picked up several other things and can't wait to try them!!! Great video ☺️.
Katie, I would use the cornbread biscotti with some hearty fall soups or stews
Katie I am loving this look! Love your make up and hair. I can't wait to go shopping and get my hands on these items. I love the truffle ketchup also I wish it wasn't seasonal. They need to sell that Forever!
The Maple & Sea Salt Kettle Corn is AMAZING y’all - definitely going back to TJ’s to stock up!
CANT WAIT FOR THE TASTE TEST!!! Wooohoooo!!!!
Oooh I want the garlic naan crackers with some tuna 🐟
Thank you for the wonderful video! I went to TJ’s yesterday and they were sold out of the one thing I really wanted... hold the cone in the pumpkin flavor! Oh well I will just have to try again in the next week or two 🙂
Yay!!! I always watch these right on Friday and then go shopping Saturday morning ❤️❤️❤️
omg I cant go to TJ on the weekends cos its PAAACKED

Do you know if they are getting the mini pumpkin scones this year?! My store doesn’t have them, and I haven’t seen in your haul yet
I don’t recall seeing those before. It may be a regional item.
I got the Apple fruit snacks, I was really impressed by the clean ingredients. They taste really good. The cornbread biscotti sounds good dipped in that chili you like
Omg! Just came back from Trader Joe’s and I got the pumpkin empanadas too!❤️❤️
Loved this video! Thank you! I found your channel last week and subscribed immediately! Great information and you are super sweet!
Thank you Katie! I always love your videos and look forward to the taste test.
Will those coffee cups fit in my Keureg?
They are made for the Keurig. 😊

Cornbread biscotti would be great with that harvest chilli
Omg I LOVE the granola bark, can’t wait to pick more up!
I so need to go back for those pumpkin blondies! My local Trader Joe's (NY) is giving the plastic reusable bags as the default now; not sure if they've just run out of the paper or they decided to switch, but they're really cute bags.
Wow, I’m shocked they completely ran out of paper but my managers kind of hinted that it could happen at our store too. Maybe they will stick around.
I got my pumpkin spice ice cream fix this week. Yum!
And the Pumpkin Kringle.
Cornbread bisscotti would be great with chili and soups. Great hall for fall. 😆
Happy Friday!
What is in the harvest chili? Vegetables beans? Would love to know.
I am in love with these hauls❤️❤️❤️
I've gone plant based so I am super excited about the pozole and harvest chili 😊 thank you Katie
I'll be picking up the vanilla bean paste for sure !!!
Love your review look forward to them every week! The cornbread biscotti are so good taste just like cornbread and not hard like regular ones! Would be good with chili they are not overly sweet, and more savory then sweet, but a sweet that cornbread has not like dessert!
I love that Fall Kombucha!
I’m ridiculous with the bags. I’m overrun with TJ bags. They’re SO CUTE though!
I just ate a half bag of the maple kettle corn. Yum 😋
The pumpkin pasta looks so cute.. even though I can't eat it.. I love the little candles in tins. this one probably smells great. I don't like beer but my husband does and that looks interesting... It would either be good or gross. :)
Wendy Eskelin I know. I always pick up several tins of candles.
@@dawndrake5833 I loved the lemon cookies one and the pine one.. I just had my husband stop at Trader's today and they didn't have the beer, or the hand soap but did get the candle tins. They smell really great.
Wouldn’t you dip the cornbread biscotti in the Harvest Soup or chili??
Did they change the Pumpkin Walks Into a Bar? I have gotten the before, but I ate one today that seems a lot more "flavored" tasting/full of cinnamon/nutmeg flavor than I remember. I thought they were pretty mild before
Hi Katie great haul I did see a few new things that i would like to purchase. TFS.
Love your hauls.. has Trader Joe’s ever carried turkey pepperoni.
I went back today for more pumpkin butter!! Love your videos❤❤
i need to stock up!!!
I love anything Maple!!
Katie, how do you like the face cleanser? I bought it recently and so far so good.
I am loving it so far! It’s super mild but makes my face feel clean. Also my skin hasn’t broken out 😊
I think I would try throwing some of the cornbread biscotti into the harvest chili.
Katie thank you! I cant begin to tell you how many products Ive tried based on your hauls! Im a vegetarian too so I appreciate your insight.🌻🎃🍁
This video made my day! yay for fall everything!!
I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THE SUNFLOWER BUTTER CUPS! I buy 3 everytime I go and have always wished they came in a bigger size! Closest I can get to peanut butter cups with all my allergies ❤️
