Yes: the bags of chips are definitely getting smaller and are not full….same with the stuffing flavored popcorn! Annoying but better for the waistline 😊
NATASHA Can you try to remember the candle that you are obsessed with at anthropology and let me know the name please! I always look forward to your hauls! You do a great job.Please keep them coming!
Our family has always made Chestnut stuffing for Thanksgiving! And in Europe (or at least Zurich), you can buy little paper cones filled w/ hot chestnuts! keeps your hands warm and they are yummy. (fun haul btw).
I love the Cruciferious Crunch, it’s a high fiber mixture of all the good greens, cut into julienne slices so it’s great to add to other dishes where you want to up the nutritional value, or eat as a salad
Hi Natasha, fyi Chicken (all poultry) & many other foods such as cheese & peanuts contain tryptophan (the essential amino acid which may make you sleepy).😉 We need it however for seratonin synthesis is my understanding. Low levels of seratonin have been linked to depression, anxiety, insomnia & even aggression I’ve read! So enjoy turkey & chicken & keep those happy seratonin levels up! 💞 (I enjoy your videos - my budget doesn’t though lolol)
Contrary to popular belief, neither turkey nor chicken are significantly more likely to make you sleepy due to their tryptophan content, as both contain similar amounts of this amino acid, with some sources even stating that chicken may have slightly more tryptophan than turkey; therefore, blaming your post-meal sleepiness solely on eating turkey is a myth and the large meal size is likely the bigger factor.
You are absolutely right about good bread and butter. Nothing better. I'm especially fond of a French butter the name of which I cannot remember at the moment but even stores here have great butters.
They also have a Brazil nut body trio right now with the body butter, body oil and body spray. I need to go back and buy a couple more sets. They’re great!
I agree, Rice Crackerss is soooo good & addictive. I’m going back and stocking up before it’s gone. I put it in a glass jar and it looks so pretty with the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ shapes. I💖your TJ haul as always🪅🍄💚
Just wanted to let you know that Whole Foods has a dark chocolate honeycomb bar! It’s Chuao Chocolatier and they have large sized bars and also mini ones by the checkout counter. You must try them 😋
I finally found the calvados cheese. Haven’t tried it yet. I saw the cranberry chutney but it is too high in sugar for me. I make my own sugar=free cranberry products if I really want cranberry. It did look really good. I was looking for the jarred truffle slices but didn’t see them. Found the white queso and can’t wait to open it (maybe today). BTW I would use the cranberry chutney either on a chartreuterie board or with poultry. I also found the gluten free baguette. Decided to try it in my stuffing this year. Can’t wait to try it. I bought the body butter trio as a gift for someone. I got 2 of the 12 Days of Beauty. I got 2 of the chocolate advent calendars. I decided not to buy the 12 days of candles as I thought it was overly expensive for Trader Joe’s. I got the new Jingle Jangle pretzels. I am going to bring them with me on Dec 23 when I have to work during the day with the rest of the bakery crew.. We always bring things to share with each other (one of the women is Indonesian and she brings homemade dumplings that are amazing). I was looking for the Jingle Jangle but the associate said that it wasn’t out yet. I have to go back next week r the week after and see if it comes in. Have to acquire one of them. We aren’t;;t having people over this year as one of the women who usually comes passed away a couple of months ago and her husband doesn’t want to come this year. I don’t blame him.
Cranberry ginger chutney tastes like the plum sauce that comes with my chinese roast duck, so yes, it can go with game meats. I tried it the other day with leftover duck. Solid condiment. Tried chutney first with TJ low sodium roasted turkey & cheddar sandwich.
The Camembert isn’t new, but it may be seasonal. Far be it from me to contradict the internet, lol, but the tip I have for peonies is to gently, very gently, squeeze the unopened bud. If it’s soft like a marshmallow, it will open. If it’s hard, it’s likely it won’t.
i know nobody wants to hear this but all lunch meats are considered “processed” tho i think those organic chicken breasts are way better than like slimy oscar meyer mystery slices 😬
Organic, no nitrates. Recommend you buy the TJ prepared chicken meat, containers of just meat in prepared case, no where near as processed as the thin sliced deli meat. Actually, it’s cheaper per lb than thin sliced deli meat too, which is generally expensive.

I always start my day with a cup of coffee and a stick of string cheese.
Cam-en-bare. (Yes, I'm the Pronunciation Police 😊 )It's a very popular cheese. Like Brie, but a little stinkier.
Correction....Cam em bear
@@deniserooke thank you, school teacher here!
Merci. French major here. Also Cuy, as in malbec, is pronounced "coo-ee" which is guinea pig as it is known in the Andes region.
It’s actually cam-em-bare. 😊
I stand corrected. Thanks. (It was actually a typo, and I appreciate the correction. )@@deniserooke
I make the honeycomb with dark chocolate and sprinkle with fleur de sel or flaky sea salt. Yummmmmmm
If you like chili, sweet potato amd black bean chili is very good!

You are so cute. I love your appreciation and description of how luck we are to have bread and butter. Never change

Yes! My TJs had/has a red bag.
Yes....toasted bread, even a hamburger bun w butter and/ or cheese......very underrated

I just have to share this with you because I think you got a great sense of humor 😂I didn’t hear you say soup I thought you said poop! 🙃
Try the Chestnuts out of the bag - Don't heat up - Great in Stuffing/Dressing and just to pick on - Italians love them.
Excitedly, the baked lemon ricotta cheese is back!! 🎉🎉

big meal + cozy environment + tiring day from cooking and socializing = 😴

Wait... back now? I am just opening my last jar of scrub and body butter from last year
If you get 4 of each you pretty much get through the year

Watching you from Cancun

Cool opening Natasha!! Lol!! Great back flip into the bag!!
Thank you 🤗
Those lotions are amazing! Last year, I got them in Spring, around Easter.
Yes, there is a red bag with black trim
I am patiently waiting for persimmons to arrive to my Trader Joe’s
I saw them yesterday!
They have had persimmons for a few weeks now. Love them ❤
@@Beagle-u3e I am definitely trying again tomorrow. I live in Maryland so maybe it is taking longer for them to get here.
I live in Southern California like Natasha so maybe we get them earlier? Good luck 👍🏼
Baton as in the baton cookies is pronounced just like the thing you twirl if you are a majorette.
this video literally came in the perfect moment in my life, love you
Kroger, Here in TN, has milk and dark chocolate honeycomb in their bulk products with all the nuts and dried fruits. Its terribly addictive
Ooooh, if you make those chocolate honeycombs, please, please share the recipe.
The chutney with the cheese on the bread
Turkey sw, ciabatta 1 side chutney cheese, the other side mayo turkey, greens optional center (arugula dressed w/oil, vinegar, diced red onion.) Yum!
Bu is very cute!
Love your TJ hauls and that you taste on the spot. Careful - Mistletoe is poisonous to dogs and cats. 😢

That squash, chestnuts, add to stuffing.
Mistletoe and Cakes?

Do you still ride your scooter and carry these big bags??
its hard to put into words, but the book The Skin Radiance Recipe by Mrs. D transformed my skin literally
How do u not know it's pronounced cam-em-bare? You travel a ton. Your lapses are HUGE!
Can also google pronunciation
Be nice!
Trader Joe’s has mini red and green insulated bags 🔴🟢
