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. ❤️
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!! 💜
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
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.
I have only watched the intro....And your 'Fall Haul Y'all' is Priceless!!! to this South Carolina Gal!!! ♥️ Okay....continuing to watch whole video......
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 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. 😊
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.
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.
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!
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 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
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 ☺️.
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 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!
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!
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 ❤️
I also probably won’t mind eating this cornbread biscotti straight up (maybe with some green tea) since I like sweeter cornbreads (like Trader Joe’s one which I often eat by itself as snack, breakfast, etc. if it’s around)
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 😂
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 🙂
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.
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.
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.
Thank you Maureen. I’m glad that is conveyed through my videos because both Tim and I are always honest 😊
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!
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!
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.

P.S. Katie, is there a TJ’s grocery list of items in the store?
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!!! :-)
I love that you put the prices of everything. That helps so much!!
Yes, there are many TJ's hauls, but there is only one Katie Hespe, and yours is the bestest!!! 🤗🤗🤗
❤️❤️❤️
@@KatieHespe I agree!!💖
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!
Katie is the “Batman” of strong loving families.

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 :-)
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 :)
It’s literally not a Friday without your hauls!!! Thank you so much for doing these!
TGIF and thank you!
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. ❤️
You do an amazing job. Your the reason I love Trader Joe’s so much. Thanks ❤️
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!
Queen of Trader Joe’s haul.
👸🏼 😘
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 😊
I love the toasted coconut chocolate granola. It’s just the right amount of sweetness and not overwhelming. Thank you for pointing it out!
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
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!! 💜
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 💕
Your Trader Joe's hauls are the best! I occasionally watch some others, but I love that yours are the most comprehensive.
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
Thank you!!
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 have tried that and always falls apart :-(
I have only watched the intro....And your 'Fall Haul Y'all' is Priceless!!! to this South Carolina Gal!!! ♥️
Okay....continuing to watch whole video......
Katie! you’re glowing! absolutely loving these fall halls and your pumpkin shirt

This is the best kind of fall haul. Forget boots and sweaters 🎃
Right?!
Yay!!! I always watch these right on Friday and then go shopping Saturday morning ❤️❤️❤️

That’s brilliant! Corn bread biscottis with chili! Yum!
I liked before it even started! These are soooo helpful thank you🙏🏼
You’re the best, 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.
Katie, you are looking extra gorgeous today! Also, your hauls are the BEST! ❤
Yesss mystery bags I got one last year and can’t use them but I love them!!
Can't wait for the taste test! You make me want to run out to TJ's immediately! Lol!
Thank you for always showing us the new stuff from Trader Joe’s

Great tip, going to do the same from here forward!
We bring a walking cart (no car) and bag outside the store.
this was so fun to watch! i just did a trader joe's taste test and was so surprised by their goodies this fall!!
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.
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.

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!!
Wow what a great haul!! Can’t wait for the taste test!

Hi Katie. You deserve the subbies and the love on your channel ❤
Your hair looks fab! 💁🏼♀️. Bought almost everything in your last haul 😳
Thank you 😊
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 🙏🏻
For an adult dessert it would be nice to have the pumpkin spice Lacore drizzled over vanilla ice cream Yum!

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
Oooh I want the garlic naan crackers with some tuna 🐟
I use to go to TJ at least once a month now it's going to be every week or every other week to get all the good fall stuff.
I’m ridiculous with the bags. I’m overrun with TJ bags. They’re SO CUTE though!
Omg! I love the living in gratitude kombucha I found it at Walmart and loved it!
Omg! Just came back from Trader Joe’s and I got the pumpkin empanadas too!❤️❤️
I love warm cornbread and milk, so perhaps the biscotti would be good dipped in warmed milk!
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 ☺️.
I just went to Trader Joe’s today and got so many things!!! I was so excited 🍂 🎃
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'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 !!!

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.🌻🎃🍁
I love that Fall Kombucha!
Cornbread bisscotti would be great with chili and soups. Great hall for fall. 😆
Happy Friday!
The Maple & Sea Salt Kettle Corn is AMAZING y’all - definitely going back to TJ’s to stock up!
You an your family are so pleasant ☺ to watch.
Thank you 😊
This video made my day! yay for fall everything!!
I'd love to know what you make with that cute butternut pasta! Can you do a recipe video? :D
Cornbread biscotti is for soup. ...if it is savory. If it is sweet, eat it with tea.
I’d eat that cornbread biscotti with soups
I think that may be what it’s intended for after tasting it, although it’s kinda sweet.
I also probably won’t mind eating
this cornbread biscotti straight up (maybe with some green tea) since I like sweeter cornbreads (like Trader Joe’s one which I often eat by itself as snack, breakfast, etc. if it’s around)
The maple almonds are so good! They taste like French Toast! SO YUMMY!
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 😂
Yay, can’t wait shop tomorrow! Feed my soul, woman!
Please make a video on what you do with the glass jars!
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 🙂
I think I'm going to go by myself next week. It's a long drive but worth it.
I love anything Maple!!
Great video! I think we are going to Trader Joe’s tomorrow to pick up some of the new stuff!
Your Trader Joe’s hauls are the best!!
Thanks so much!
I went back today for more pumpkin butter!! Love your videos❤❤
i need to stock up!!!

Katie, I would use the cornbread biscotti with some hearty fall soups or stews
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.
Hi Katie great haul I did see a few new things that i would like to purchase. TFS.
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 my pumpkin spice ice cream fix this week. Yum!
And the Pumpkin Kringle.
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
I just ate a half bag of the maple kettle corn. Yum 😋
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.
