That has happened to me a number of times in the store. One woman saw a loaf of bread in my hand and told me I was going to die from the carbs. I told her I would die with a smile on my face.
Just ignore the people that criticize. They are on every channel so please don’t even feel like you need to defend yourself. There are way more of us that adore you and look forward to your videos. It breaks my heart to see them get to you. You’re the best, Katie!
If only people knew: Trader Joe's does NOT EVER sponsor videos or bloggers or anything. They also do not pay for advertising. You will never see a Trader Joe's newpaper ad or commercial on TV or radio. They only put out their "Fearless Flyer". The extremely low advertising budget is partially how they keep their products cheap.
i feel you on the white bread thing!! I eat white bread/bagels and balance my diet and am perfectly healthy. I hate when people get so uptight about telling others what they shouldn't buy and being so picky about food
So thankful for your hauls. I don't live close to a Trader Joe's but will drive occasionally to the nearest one which is over an hour away. I love watching your suggestions so my trips are to get those staples and the new items I may want to try. Thank you again.
Never been to Trader Joe’s cause I thought it’s more expensive for organic foods but it’s pretty decent. Thanks for sharing your haul with the prices! I want to try the potato pancakes, that sounds delicious 😋
I love your dinosaur sweater Katie! Thanks for sharing your tips and opinions. Sourdough bread is my favorite as well, the ghost pepper chips are my hubs favorite and our new favorite salad dressing from T.J.’s is the almond butter turmeric. We enjoy the kombucha as well my favorite flavor is the watermelon one. We will have to try the new one you shared in this vlog. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Laughed out loud at the sound effect with the celery vs chips.. "When I'm in the mood for a crunchy snack I'm going with these ( point to celery ) instead of those.. (points to ghost pepper chips) great sound effect. Thanks for the haul, appreciate the heads up on the new products.
No worries on the bread, Katie. Did you know that sourdough bread is one of the foods eaten daily by the world’s longest living/healthiest people in Sardinia? I love it 👍❤️
Went to TJ’s just now, saw the lemon candle, got it! Saw the face scrub, got it! Didn’t find the eye cream☹️ they had no idea what I was talking about so I showed them your video & the eye cream. Lol they wrote something down & said hopefully they can get them at our location!
Sour dough avocado toast is delicious. Thank you for sharing about it on the ciabatta rolls too. Those cauliflower pancakes are so good in the air fryer for breakfast. Thank you for your hauls.
I'm excited for the chocolates! Me, my mom and my sister have started this very recent tradition of trying the new chocolates from Trader Joe's (thanks to you)! We have a little "party"! I really want to try the miso vegetables and brown rice kit. I'm trying to eat more vegetables and this looks so delicious! I am hooked on the sourdough bread too!
I love the Peony candle from TJs. My store only had the lemon cookie candle, and it smells pretty good- I just bought one. I hope we get the peony one soon because I ran out of my stock from last year! Ah and I need to pick up one of those cookie mixes. My toddler is allergic to eggs and that would be a great little treat to make that doesn't require eggs!
Love the Egg White Salad with arugula! Never thought to add avocado to it...intriguing. The Balela is, as you say, very satisfying and a nice change from having a more traditional lettuce salad. Thanks for sharing, as always! :o)
Nice haul! Just wanted to mention, my TJs has our favorite Champagne Vinaigrette dressing back!!! I will be trying that cookie mix :) I worked for L'Occitane, and that shower oil is a spot on dupe!
I don’t know why I watch these as I live in Canada and don’t have a trader joes (guess I just like you and your videos!). Definitely wish I had one! That shower oil is definitely a dupe for l’occitane, they have a product for bath and shower just like that and it’s rather expensive.
Trader Joe's has these Cosmic Crisp apples that I'm obsessed with right now. It was my first time seeing them anywhere. I bought one and oh my was it good. I will be going back for more.
Hey Katie, Nice haul 😊 I can't wait to try the coffee ,body oil and the stirfry. Looks amazing 😋 I would love ♥️ to see more hello fresh recipes or your version of their recipes. I'm seriously considering ordering. The whole concept is great. No need to go to the grocery store to search for items . Thank you Katie for sharing your experience with us. 🥰 😇
So many new yummy sounding products! Def going to purchase the almond flour cookie mix and savory nut mix. I think the coconut rolls are GF. I didn't see any gluten containing ingredients in the list.
I have started buying butter lettuce because of you & my family now loves it!! Going to have to try that sourdough bread now. Got my shopping list ready, will be going tomorrow after gym! 😉
Literally went to Trader Joe’s after this and found the Belgian chocolate hearts and the heart jelly beans :) I’ll have them when my fiancé drives down here for Valentine’s Day
Made a breakfast casserole lining the dish with those tots, pouring the whisked eggs and shredded cheese on top and then at the end topping it with morning star “sausage” 😋
Hi Katie I'm just coming across your videos and I LOVE them because I'm a huge fan of Trader Joe's. I don't know if I haven't gotten to your taste test on the Umami season blend but I'm super curious on how that tastes. If you haven't done that one yet I've subscribed and will keep a look out for it! Keep turning out these videos they're awesome and your family is beautiful ❤
Claudia Badia I usually do it with eggs for breakfast. My kids love it. Just cool the chorizo for about 5 min with some butter because unlike regular chorizo it is not greasy and then throw some eggs in and scramble it all up. So good. My daughter is vegetarian and she also likes it mixed with some mashed up potatoes and I make hard shell tacos with some lettuce n cheese. So good!
With all my daily shopping at Trader Joes, I never tried the Garlic dip but when you mentioned it had clean ingredients, I checked it out myself this morning and OMG Delicious. I have been trying it on a number of items. I am thinking linguini?? What do you use it for?
Hey! Do not apologize for liking carbs!!! I love me some bread with zero guilt!! :) The garlic spread looks yum and I'm curious about the egg white salad. I need to try it. The olive oil potato chips are my husband's absolute favorite chip and, of course, I'm snacking on celery. Lol.
great job Katie as always. I forgot all about that garlic dip and I was just there a couple of days ago...FYI if you ever crave beer bread (when TJ) is out of stock, I sell Tastefully Simple and have it year round. I love white bread..nothing wrong there haha I should try that shower gel...I sell Avon too but that looks amazing. Have a great rest of your weekend :) xo
Katie!! Please don’t apologize for food you eat or say you’re “bad” for eating it. Food is food and has no morality. People can eat what they want and you can eat what you want. Food policing is annoying as hell. Keep doing your thing and stop apologizing!! . ❤️❤️❤️
Great haul; thanks Katie! Have you tried TJs gyoza sauce? It's probably my favorite sauce to buy there. Perfect on anything Asian. P.S. soft white bread is my favorite, too. :) I haven't tried the garlic spread, thanks for the rec!
Hi! Love your videos have been watching a bunch of them and I like the ideas you give and i obviously also I love Trader Joes lol. Im a stay at home mom who works part time but I’m considering leaving my current job and applying to TJs, what do you do there? Do you love it?
I'm going to have to pick a bag of the gyoza up when I go to TJ's tomorrow. They look really good. BTW, it's pronounced ghee-o-za. 😉 I tried the garlic spread months ago and found it to be way too salty. 😖
We’re vegetarian too and we use that garlic dip on flatbread with some seitan, lettuce, tomato and onion for some gyro style wraps and it’s honestly my favorite meal ever 😍 We usually buy the seitan but occasionally I’ll feel patient enough to make it haha
I LOVE these hauls--seriously. Why people feel the need to comment on what people buy baffles me lol. Anyway, do you know if TJs has discontinued their Power of 7 juice? I haven't been able to find it since October. When I went in November the worker told me they hadn't gotten any and directed me to something else and last month when I went I found out the green juice was discontinued! My son LOVES the Power of 7, and I would buy 4-5 bottles at a time, he's disappointed lol.
Trish from Colorado here -- I made the mistake today of trying the olive oil chips!! Super crunchy, fresh and really potaoey. And the almond cleansing oil french name l'occirane is pronounce lox it ton. Superior video again!
I love the potato pancakes, I find the cauliflower ones a little more gummy - still good though. If I lived closer I would be at TJs a couple times a week. I love your hauls and taste tests so ignore the haters because the majority of us are here for you and your adorable family.
For breakfast almost every morning my 9 year old daughter toasts up a piece of sprouted bread and then tops it with a fried egg, a dash of hot sauce, and Trader Joe's everything but the bagel seasoning! Love your hauls!
I love Trader Joe's videos! But I have to know, where is your top from?! I've been looking for something similar with no luck so far. Thanks and I can't wait to go to my Trader Joe's this week!
Love carbs too so no shaming here! I love your hauls and I love TJ! Blessings to you and your lovely family! Side note: For the past few week, the supply of the Southwest Salad @ my local TJ is very limited! 😩
You don't need to explain why you like things. You can like white bread or junk food if you want. The whole world isn't keto or on diets. We don't have to explain ourselves to anyone. This is our life. Pig out if it makes you happy. Nobody is judging you!! And if they are, who cares. They suck. Great haul. Love trader joes!!😊
“These are my groceries, not yours” YES!! 🙌🙌 I hate when people think they need to be your nutritionist and comment on everything you buy/eat.
Agree wholeheartedly!
Ding! Ding! Ding! So many creators give up on these fun videos because of the food SJWs!
Agree completely!! If you don’t like what is being shared move on!! 🙌Appreciate your weekly hauls!!
That has happened to me a number of times in the store. One woman saw a loaf of bread in my hand and told me I was going to die from the carbs. I told her I would die with a smile on my face.
Aagreed. White bread can still be apart of a healthy “diet”. What’s unhealthy is depriving yourself from a certain food
Just ignore the people that criticize. They are on every channel so please don’t even feel like you need to defend yourself. There are way more of us that adore you and look forward to your videos. It breaks my heart to see them get to you. You’re the best, Katie!

The crew members are always very happy and helpful. It seems like a great place to work. Luv your videos.
i feel you on the white bread thing!! I eat white bread/bagels and balance my diet and am perfectly healthy. I hate when people get so uptight about telling others what they shouldn't buy and being so picky about food
The whole grain bread becomes rancid in a few days. White bread is healthier than whole grain. Who knew?🤪
My favorite grocery store and my favorite channel thank you so much great haul!
Yes girl, EAT THOSE CARBS! I am here eating them right along with you!!
So thankful for your hauls. I don't live close to a Trader Joe's but will drive occasionally to the nearest one which is over an hour away. I love watching your suggestions so my trips are to get those staples and the new items I may want to try. Thank you again.

Yummy haul. Put some ghost chips on your egg salad/avocado sandwich. LOVE putting chips on sandwiches. ❤️
Well done! I really appreciate your video. And thank you for including prices.

Where is your sweatshirt from!? So cute!
Love what you do, I found you accidentally and watched and haven't stopped
Thank you learned so much from you and Bobby Parrish ❤ from flavcity
Sour dough avocado toast is delicious. Thank you for sharing about it on the ciabatta rolls too.
Those cauliflower pancakes are so good in the air fryer for breakfast. Thank you for your hauls.
I love how you switch it up every week!
I loved this haul, Katie and about to watch the taste test

I was a Crew Member at TJ's in Sarasota, FL! Love the company and the store.
No better review than an employee that loves their company
I was informed by a crew member that Trader Joes version of Beyond Meat is due out January 21st, for anyone interested
Since you do Costco now your channel is more encompassing and better than ever for this viewer.
I love your videos, they have helped me shop since I’m on myWW. Keep posting, also love seeing your adorable son.
Omg where is your shirt from? I love it!!!
I was going to ask, too! I love dinosaurs, it’s such a cute top!
I need this shirt!
I need this shirt
I Love chips!! 🤗💝 the sourdough bread looks good! I'm going to buy some. I need to buy an air fryer 👍❤
Nice haul! Just wanted to mention, my TJs has our favorite Champagne Vinaigrette dressing back!!! I will be trying that cookie mix :) I worked for L'Occitane, and that shower oil is a spot on dupe!
Chocolate chip baking mix look’s yummy. I will be looking for that . I need to get the garlic spread. I still never tried it yet . Great haul 💜💜💜💜
Your Dino sweatshirt is epic!! Please share where you got it from?? 🙏🏼 thank you!!!!
I don’t know why I watch these as I live in Canada and don’t have a trader joes (guess I just like you and your videos!). Definitely wish I had one!
That shower oil is definitely a dupe for l’occitane, they have a product for bath and shower just like that and it’s rather expensive.
I watch Aldi haul videos and usually regret it because we don't have Aldi by us. LOL!
Erlyne Osburn Same! No Aldis near me☹️ but always watch them lol
Almost grabbed the new small batch coffee last night. Going to go back and grab it today, along with the miso veg and brown rice kit!
Trader Joe's has these Cosmic Crisp apples that I'm obsessed with right now. It was my first time seeing them anywhere. I bought one and oh my was it good. I will be going back for more.
How do you like the coffee? The Chiapas Mexican coffee??
Love it!
Thanks for your quick reply! Just found your videos couple days ago and love them 💛💛💛

The everything ciabatta rolls are soooo good! I picked those up this week for the first time and loved them!
I really want to try those. I love ciabatta rolls. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you Katie, I always look forward to your podcasts!
Luv that lettuce I buy bags of it! Also, no Arugula at our TD either, they said because of too much rain.
We are going today to get some of these awesome ideas. I love the sweetened dried lemon slices as well but sadly my Joes has not had them in months.
Love your hauls so much!!! I always want to go to Trader Joes when I see them! The Miso stir fry looks so good and I can't wait to try it out.
I never shop at trader Joe's, but after watching this video I'm going to check it out thanks
Made a breakfast casserole lining the dish with those tots, pouring the whisked eggs and shredded cheese on top and then at the end topping it with morning star “sausage” 😋

If you haven't done that one yet I've subscribed and will keep a look out for it! Keep turning out these videos they're awesome and your family is beautiful ❤
Katie I have a question. How do you cook the soy chorizo? I bought it and wanted to know how to make it
Claudia Badia I usually do it with eggs for breakfast. My kids love it. Just cool the chorizo for about 5 min with some butter because unlike regular chorizo it is not greasy and then throw some eggs in and scramble it all up. So good. My daughter is vegetarian and she also likes it mixed with some mashed up potatoes and I make hard shell tacos with some lettuce n cheese. So good!
rachel ayers thank you
I definitely want to try the beer bread mix!
Where is your sweatshirt from?! It's adorable. 🦖🦕
With all my daily shopping at Trader Joes, I never tried the Garlic dip but when you mentioned it had clean ingredients, I checked it out myself this morning and OMG Delicious. I have been trying it on a number of items. I am thinking linguini?? What do you use it for?
Oooo yes! I love the loccitane shower oil, but it is sooo expensive. I can't wait to try this out!
I may have mentioned this before but I love to make pita pizzas in my air fryer. The flatbread is great and eat family member can make their own.
Hey! Do not apologize for liking carbs!!! I love me some bread with zero guilt!! :) The garlic spread looks yum and I'm curious about the egg white salad. I need to try it. The olive oil potato chips are my husband's absolute favorite chip and, of course, I'm snacking on celery. Lol.
You do a great job!!! Trader Joe's product are great. Costco is to much food for my family, except seafood.
Hi Katie, thanks for the great haul! What time/temp do you use for the potato latkes in the air fryer?
great job Katie as always. I forgot all about that garlic dip and I was just there a couple of days ago...FYI if you ever crave beer bread (when TJ) is out of stock, I sell Tastefully Simple and have it year round. I love white bread..nothing wrong there haha I should try that shower gel...I sell Avon too but that looks amazing. Have a great rest of your weekend :) xo
Bahah wouldn’t that be nice if they sponsored you!! 👏🏻👏🏻 💰

Enjoyed the video I think I wanna try the rice and veggie. It looks like it might be good.
Excited about the body wash and the garlic dip !

Just got the almond oil today!! Where is your sweater from?! It's so cute!!
Thanks Katie, it all looks yummy!
I bought the three pepper salami and it’s so good 😊
Do you get a discount if you work at Trader Joe’s?
I love your hauls. Mine is 30 mins away. So if you show me what's new. I can decide if I want to go.
They should sponsor you.
Amen to the peanut butter cups! Also, it looks like the coconut rolls are gf...
Balela is my favorite!!! So many people don’t know how good it is! The best!
I'm going to have to pick a bag of the gyoza up when I go to TJ's tomorrow. They look really good. BTW, it's pronounced ghee-o-za. 😉 I tried the garlic spread months ago and found it to be way too salty. 😖

It was taken off the shelves due to quality issues and is still supposed to make a return, just not sure when.

@@KatieHespe thank you so much!
Hi Katie. Do you know if TJ's is discontiuing the jerk plantain chips?
I saw them yesterday at my store, so I don’t think so.
Love carbs too so no shaming here!
I love your hauls and I love TJ!
Blessings to you and your lovely family!
Side note: For the past few week, the supply of the Southwest Salad @ my local TJ is very limited! 😩
The crispy coconut rolls are gluten free, there’s nothing in those ingredients that have gluten (wheat flour,barley, rye)
Where is your sweatshirt from?!!
Are the ghost pepper chips really spicy? Like will I need a glass of water? Lol 😋
I had 2 items on my to buy list from Trader Joe’s this weekend... after watching this video, it’s like 10 now hahaha
Funny just picked up a pack today.it does have olive oil which is healthier option.
My Trader Joe's in Nashville didn't have arugula either :(
You don't need to explain why you like things. You can like white bread or junk food if you want. The whole world isn't keto or on diets. We don't have to explain ourselves to anyone.

Always love your videos, you go girl!
Would love to see a “cook with me” with hello fresh meals 😋
I just cooked one in my last “what I eat in a day” video.
Katie Hespe I just saw that after commenting 😫
