You know what I did the other day? When I went to Trader Joe's, for the first time during this holiday season, I let myself actually be insane lol. No intrusive thoughts about ingredients, no bad self talk. I let myself get my favorite things and I REALLY mean that. Part of it was because my friend had actually never been there before (!) and I wanted to show her the ropes - it was really fun. I knew she'd have a ball. I ended up leaving with two(!!!) of the massive tins of the English Toffee... because it is my favorite thing during this time of year, sweet wise, hands down. I even got a couple pound plus bars because I felt like I needed them after the week I had. I also finally tried a few things I ever did - including those Butter Toffee Pretzels. You were right, those are dangerous. Anyway, just a little note to tell you that I sincerely appreciate your videos every week, especially this time of year. It really brings me into the spirit when I can't find it. Thank you, girl ☃️
Yay and how fun! I bet your friend had a blast shopping. The English toffee really is so dang good! I’m glad you got all your favorites with no guilt or remorse. That’s what the holidays are all about!
@@KatieHespe I'm sure gonna try to keep that mindset! Oh, she had a blast. For me, I know that English Toffee will last me awhile (to an extent) because I also use it for so many things. And it is shareable. Such a good trip that was for me!
I literally JUST walked in with $200 on my Friday weekly trip! I’m putting it all away now! The amount of new things today was crazyyy!!! Y’all gotta go ASAP! Side note it’s was BUSY
My tj was insanely busy a whole week before TDay so I didn't get to find half of what I wanted to. I did snag the body trio so I'm thankful for that. I think the main problem with candles centers on the perfumes being possible endocrine disruptors. Scented ones of course.
Hi Katie.😊 Wow what a great holiday Trader Joe's haul! I am interested in those cheeses you purchased. I am looking forward to your taste review on those. I haven't tried the peppermint products but the little ice cream cones look interesting. I love the English Toffee and I'm glad they sell it in smaller packages along with the big canister of it. The butter toffee pretzels look good too. The pasta looks like a great gift idea too. You had a outstanding haul. So many great products. Thank you always for doing these hauls. I look forward to them and you do a outstanding job. 😊❤
I tried the Shimmering Candy Cane Body Butter today. I LOVE IT. The smell is so yummy. It's very warm, vanilla-like, with a fresh minty finish. The shimmer is very pretty, very faint. It gives a beautiful glow to the skin.
I've been shopping at Trader Joes for so many years, and it's fun to see how many faves I share with you! I can't wait to see what you think of the Artichoke Bread Pudding and that $3.99 wine. Thanks again for showing all the items you didn't buy - I forgot about the olive wood products from last year but I'm glad to know they're in store because they make great gifts. See you in the taste test!
Havent watched you before. What an excellent review and haul.....Can hardly wait to make a trip to Trader Joes. ❤😊 think I'm hungry now....time for a snack...
Katie, your taste test will be so 🔥 And omg yes please do a T.J. body care haul. I feel like I only focus on their food and I want to especially start seeing if their is anything I like in that section. I'm picky/chemistry wise but I'm down to try and I see some things in your video that look like fun😍
up one's alley or down your alley are both correct idioms, up your alley is more popular in the US. This was an exceptional haul, heading to TJ's tomorrow.
Haha I wish I could release that early but I’m afraid editing will be finished tomorrow so it will be out around 10. The only things we didn’t like were the Gorgonzola cheese and the beer. Everything else is worth a buy and try.
I concur. I also didn’t think the Cinnamon Bun flavored creamer actually tasted like cinnamon buns. It wasn’t bad but the brown sugar is still my favorite.
Great haul! I agree with the creamer. It barely tastes like anything just a little cinnamon. I put so much in too. Wasn’t bad but I’ll stick with brown sugar. Omg I can’t wait to go again this week for all the body care 🫠
Hello Katie. Love your videos. What ever happened to the small round chocolate cake that Traders had? Also, a few years back they had a chocolate covered sesame type of cluster thingy??
Hello everyone. Katie please do a beauty video while the products are still available 🙏🏾. I went to my local TJ last night and I picked up the candle advent calendar but I will be going back to pick up the Brazil nut trio
Where does the time go? I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week already! I need to try the artichoke bread pudding! I love artichokes so much, and I love bread pudding!
But you did get "pavé" right because the é has an accent. As long as we're doing French, the "de" in herbes de Provence should really be pronounced "duh".
Yeah, those pastry bites are year-round, because I buy them pretty much every week. Great, Trader Joe’s haul. The pretzels with the M&M pieces, used to come in a box. If I’m not mistaken.
What an amazing haul! Thank you! I just went earlier this week and picked up a few new things, now I have to go back and get some cheese and other things I didn’t know about! I always say up your alley 🙂 Can’t wait for the taste test! Thank you!
Ty for sharing all the goodies! 💜💜 I'm finally getting a chance to go to TJ's tomorrow; really hoping some of the items are still there! I remember those herbaceous cheese bites from last year; so good.
You are going at the perfect time to get everything you want! I recommend going right at opening otherwise it’s going to be a mad house and many things will sell out. This is the busiest week of the year for Trader Joe’s so for your sanity and so you can get everything you want, go early!
Went today and was shocked at all the new items. I really want to find that olive cheese. I picked up the square one and it’s delicious, such a different texture that wasn’t what I expected.
Oh my goodness, great Haul! Thank you Katie! I cannot wait to get my hands on the artichoke bread pudding and that Olive cheese. I’m currently eating the iced gingerbread from last week and it’s so delicious.
Is it not “up your alley”? I’ve always said that and questioned it when you said down instead of up the first time 😂 Now I’m thinking I’ve said that wrong all my life! Anyways, thanks so much for these videos! I’m really wanting to go to TJ’s as I haven’t had a chance to go in a really long time. I think my best chance to get by there is tomorrow and I’m not sure right the Sunday before Thanksgiving is a good idea. 😂
Katie have you tried the cornbread stuffing with roasted apples etc.? Sorry if I missed it. It looks good but would love your review. All your items in this haul I'm looking forward to. 🤗
Is the stuffing you’re talking about refrigerated or frozen? I’ve tried them all at some point. I’m not a big stuffing gal so I prob would t care for it even if it’s delicious. Hopefully someone can jump on this comment and help you out with how they liked it!
@@KatieHespe Ok thank you for replying, I believe it's in the refrigerator section. I'm going to look for it. I usually like mash potatoes or sweet potatoes better but thought I would add something extra this year.
New York State doesn’t allow certain liquor products to be sold outside of liquor stores so my store never gets the wine or liquors and I’m so sad I wanna try them
Loved your video. Many post back you mentioned Tim had a tshirt design business. Does he still do that? If so can you share info on how to contact him?
Hi Dani. My store URL is located in the Description of our videos, but if you are interested in a custom design, shoot me an email at hespedesigns@gmail.com with what you would like and I will make it for you. - Tim
Honestly I believe it. It wasn’t at the store when I shopped and I think it flopped the last 2 years. Maybe they will bring back a better more refined version next year. There’s always Aldi and Sprouts!
Love your haul, per usual! I was wondering if you know if the frozen stuffed Olive bites are back in store or if they even returned this year? Thanks for your helpful info on all things TJ’s!
I didn’t see them and even talked about them with the frozen writer. I think they are still supposed to come back so keep your eyes out for them. Once they do I will purchase them to show in the haul.
YesYes awesome finds and the chess es yes plz. I going for the cinnamon bun kettle corn and the pretzels my jam. Hugs friend Elissa modesto cali @elissa_tc
The Hot Cocoa Polar Bear wink was a nice subtle effect ❤️
Swizzle sticks in warm lemonade or tea!
I love the smell of the candy cane body butter!!

Omg me too! I spent $233 on Thursday
saaaaame
Love your TJ's hauls!!❤
The jingle jangle pretzel twists came out last year.😊
Thank you!
List made, heading out in an hour for the 1h25m drive to my nearest TJs.
I'm with you, small apps and sides for me! Btw, I say "up" your alley, not "down!"! Great haul!
Taught in the US it's Up your Alley; in the UK it's Down your Street.
my favorite type of trip!
My tj was insanely busy a whole week before TDay so I didn't get to find half of what I wanted to. I did snag the body trio so I'm thankful for that. I think the main problem with candles centers on the perfumes being possible endocrine disruptors. Scented ones of course.
The Stollen Crisps with the Cannoli Dip is so good!
I am running out of paper!!!!! You just blew up my list! Thank you for sharing !! ❤
Hahaha awesome!

Great haul; thanks Katie! Yes, please do a body care items review, please! You are so good to us. Looking forward to the tasting! 🎄
They're all amazing. I bought all the new body care items. If you could only choose one item, I highly recommend the Candy Cane body butter.
I thought I saw the Jingle Jangle Twists last year
Thank you!
agree, wanted the cinnamon bun creamer to smell/taste more flavored!
I tried the Shimmering Candy Cane Body Butter today. I LOVE IT. The smell is so yummy. It's very warm, vanilla-like, with a fresh minty finish. The shimmer is very pretty, very faint. It gives a beautiful glow to the skin.
For the 3rd day in a row I'll head to trader Joe's. I didn't see the toffee pretzels. My husband will be so happy 😊
Your Trader Joe halls are the best! Katie girl, I always head there every time I watch your hauls. ❤
The jingle ja gle pretzel were also here last year

Thank you! Every time I say up your alley I get corrected haha.
Agree about "up your alley" being the common expression even though you said it accidentally.
Yes in the UK my cousin says down your street lol not alley. In the US I do say up my alley and she always laughs.
Wow! That was amazing! I have so many ideas I cannot wait to check out the body care!
I love the artwork on the Paperback Brewing Company"s cans. I keep looking for them here in Arizona, but no luck yet.
Heading to Trader Joe’s with my list in hand ❤
The jingle jangle pretzels came out last year, too.
Thank you for the heads up on that!
SO excited for all the holiday products! I got the cinnamon swizzle sticks for garnish for apple cider bourbon cocktails for Thanksgiving 🍎
I plan to be at Trader Joe’s at 8 AM tomorrow morning! Can you please release the taste test at seven so I know what to get! Thanks lol
Haha I wish I could release that early but I’m afraid editing will be finished tomorrow so it will be out around 10. The only things we didn’t like were the Gorgonzola cheese and the beer. Everything else is worth a buy and try.
@@KatieHespe thanks for the heads up!
LOVE your reviews of these awesome items!
Also, stick a cinnamon stick in a jar of sugar and there you are, cinnamon sugar xx
I concur. I also didn’t think the Cinnamon Bun flavored creamer actually tasted like cinnamon buns. It wasn’t bad but the brown sugar is still my favorite.
Yes I am right there with you! I like it but it just doesn’t taste like cinnamon buns. Brown sugar still has my heart!
The Stollen crisps were so good. Try it by itself first before you put the cheese on. I'm sending my Hubby back for more!
Girl, same! The holiday gifts are definitely pared down this year. Prices are just out of control.
The holiday popcorn has been a gem. Same with danish cookies.
I love your videos! They are the best! But yes please review the skincare stuff please 😁. Have an awesome weekend!
Thank you! You too!
Holy cow... so many new things! I'm going to look for the candy cane body butter when I go tomorrow!
Yesss. The mini chocolate mousse. Just enough. Delicious
Yes I would love to see a body products video!!!
Great haul! I agree with the creamer. It barely tastes like anything just a little cinnamon. I put so much in too. Wasn’t bad but I’ll stick with brown sugar. Omg I can’t wait to go again this week for all the body care 🫠
Love those pastry bites!! I use as a meal too!
The best!
Jingle jangle pretzel twists I got last year too so they aren't new!
I bought the artichoke bread pudding yesterday. Can’t wait to try it.. it so heavy!
Hello Katie. Love your videos. What ever happened to the small round chocolate cake that Traders had? Also, a few years back they had a chocolate covered sesame type of cluster thingy??
Hello everyone. Katie please do a beauty video while the products are still available 🙏🏾. I went to my local TJ last night and I picked up the candle advent calendar but I will be going back to pick up the Brazil nut trio
Thank you!
The Fromage Pave is RIDICULOUS it's like a cross between brie and butter and I love it.
Really looking forward to this taste test!!
Where does the time go? I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week already! I need to try the artichoke bread pudding! I love artichokes so much, and I love bread pudding!
I feel like November has flashed before my eyes lol
I feel so lucky to have gotten the platinum Pinot Noir wine! I can't wait to shop tomorrow after the taste test. Happy Thanksgiving, Hespe family. ❤
Wow this is an amazing haul and I adore their latkes. They are close to homemade as my MIL made homemade. I like frozen 🤗
Great haul!! There’s also another new popcorn in a green bag. It’s called herbs and spices.
Père sounds like English "pear" in pronounciation. The name is father brie cheese 😂
But you did get "pavé" right because the é has an accent. As long as we're doing French, the "de" in herbes de Provence should really be pronounced "duh".
(And pavé means square.)
Yeah, those pastry bites are year-round, because I buy them pretty much every week. Great, Trader Joe’s haul. The pretzels with the M&M pieces, used to come in a box. If I’m not mistaken.
What an amazing haul! Thank you! I just went earlier this week and picked up a few new things, now I have to go back and get some cheese and other things I didn’t know about! I always say up your alley 🙂
Can’t wait for the taste test! Thank you!
I'm glad you got your pasta this year. Thanks for the haul,
Me too!!
My favorite blue cheese and roasted pecan dip is back. I bought 6 of them. 😅
Oh, yay... i bought thr fig cheese and will love to know what you think.
Ty for sharing all the goodies! 💜💜
I'm finally getting a chance to go to TJ's tomorrow; really hoping some of the items are still there! I remember those herbaceous cheese bites from last year; so good.

Tis the season for TJ’s So many Christmas items to choose from. All the cheeses, I can tell this will be an expensive visit. 😊
Went today and was shocked at all the new items. I really want to find that olive cheese. I picked up the square one and it’s delicious, such a different texture that wasn’t what I expected.
Oh my goodness, great Haul! Thank you Katie! I cannot wait to get my hands on the artichoke bread pudding and that Olive cheese. I’m currently eating the iced gingerbread from last week and it’s so delicious.
Pere Brie means father brie. (Probably the fellow pictured in the label). Pronounced “pair” brie. Sounds yummy!
Thanks😊
TFS! ❤
Great haul
Thanks!
Thank you!
I can't wait until next year when I get my new Trader Joe's by me!
Is it not “up your alley”? I’ve always said that and questioned it when you said down instead of up the first time 😂 Now I’m thinking I’ve said that wrong all my life!

I’m sorry you can’t get them. Maybe you can pick some up in your next travels in the US.
I was disappointed with 12 days this year

I heard the oat nog is discontinued. I’m so incredibly disappointed. Any word on that?
Honestly I believe it. It wasn’t at the store when I shopped and I think it flopped the last 2 years. Maybe they will bring back a better more refined version next year. There’s always Aldi and Sprouts!

I tried the toffee last night and it wasn’t good at all. I ended up throwing the whole bag away.
So did I not yummy
20:25 it's pronounced staa-luhn, Katie! Thx!
