I went into Trader Joe’s, in Gainesville Florida, this past weekend to get groceries and I was so impressed with the way the store was running. They had us wait in line (6 feet apart) because they were only allowing 30 people in at a time. When it was our turn they wiped down the cart for us and gave us hand wipes. While we were in the store employees were actively cleaning. It was such a pleasant experience. Love my Trader Joe’s!
Thank you for the work you do as a TJ crew member and your weekly hauls. I, for one, appreciate just knowing what's new and I look forward to doing some normal shopping. I have been in the house for days now, cooking like crazy! I feel like after this I can do a Master Class!
I have never appreciated grocery workers as much as I do right now. Thank you for your continued hard work. I cant wait for the day hopefully soon that I can go back to Trader Joes. Stay safe Katie.
Thank you so much for your hard work, grocery store workers are as much on the front lines as our medical professionals. Praying for you and your family's health!
Thank you Katie, this video was just what I needed to brighten my spirits. You are such a positive joyful person. Stay safe and thank you for being one of the real heroes in this challenging time.
I went to my TJs this Tuesday, waited in line for an hour but I was the first person in the non-senior line (they had a senior line and non-senior). They only let 25 in from each line at once and then in the checkout they had little signs taped to the floor for people to stand 6 ft apart. It was well stocked and everyone was friendly!
Thank you for working. It must be extremely stressful. Trader Joe's is essential to me, but I know it must be hard working there right now. Thank you for being a bright light during this time.
Katie thanks for reminding everyone of smart shopping tips and also reminding us that life still has it normalcy. You are a rockkk star and love you more with every video :) Keep well and enjoy the family time
My 3 year old and I have been baking A LOT! Thanks for a “normal” haul...missing TJ’s so much. And thanks for ‘working the front lines’ during theses times. Stay safe
I miss Trader Joes so badly! I was in Israel visting my mom when things started getting bad, and decided to stay here. All this coutry is missing is a trader joes! I miss it! Thank you for keeping us distracted, and to all the crew members at Trader Joes for putting themselves at risk. Stay safe!
Love this fun video, Katie! I miss my twice-weekly TJ's runs. I am still working too, at a large farm store that is considered essential because we sell livestock feed and supplies. It's kind of scary out there. Be safe and stay well- thanks for providing a bright spot for us.
Katie please stay safe & healthy. Thank you to all the TJ `s employees who continue to work through this difficult time. Can't wait until this is all over & can go to TJ `s. I need flowers in my life. The daffodils are beautiful.
Thank you for the video! And most important thank you for your work to keep the rest of us with food we like during this time. We appreciate you!! My husband manages a grocery store so I can relate on some level. You are awesome! I haven't been to TJs since lockdown started becuz my husband brings home anything we need. I look forward to going again once things calm down.
Thank you for all you do Katie - getting ready for my weekly TJ run, and your video is helping me get excited to push back my fears of going out. Such love to you and all the TJ crew members for doing God's work during this time!
I must say Katie I so enjoy watching your videos! They are always so positive and relaxing and I’m so glad to have your videos to watch during these tricky times ❤️ much love from Florida
I'm glad you're doing well! My sister works at a Trader Joe's in Washington State, so she was in the middle of the first big outbreak in the US. I very much appreciate your message at the beginning.
of all the stores in our area T Joes is THE ONLY One that stocks up AND hoses down each ENTIRE cart as it is leaving the store. they are also the friendliest people too
Thanks Katie for the wonderful distraction 🤗 I'm venturing out for the first time in a week for groceries. I'm sorry you still have to work. Take extra precautions. We need you 😚 our tjs you can't even get in the lot. Stay safe and healthy and thank you for all of the hard work our stores are doing to help us still eat. Love you guys 🥰❤️ put a heart on your front door ❤️ 💐😚😇
Be safe Kathy. I am definitely taking extra precautions...washing hands constantly at work, when I get home I strip down in the garage, put all my clothes in a bag and shower immediately. I also spray my lunch bag and purse. Now I have been reading that we need to wipe down all our groceries and cardboard from deliveries. I appreciate your sweet comments. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video Katie. I live in Canada and don't get to go to Trader Joes often, especially not right now. I enjoy your bubbly personality and look forward to your weekly videos. Again, thank you for everything you do.
Thanks to your recommendation, I made a dish with the masala sauce and coconut cream (because they were out of coconut milk)last week and it was amazing! My family loved it! Picked up 2 more!
I had Hubby pick up those chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels after watching this and oh boy am I in trouble. They are soooo good!! I understand why they are Tim's favorite!
They are the best ever... you are right on that Katie!! I buy them every time I go to Trader Joe's along with your half gallon best vanilla ice cream ever for my husband!!
Lots of my favorites in this haul. Those eggs are so good as and healthy as well. The Risoni can become a delicious risotto with asparagus and chicken added to it. The shrimp masala is wonderful and quick. I noticed that a lot of this haul is what I packed on camping trips. Excellent video and audio quality as usual.
I always see those ice cream sandwiches and I keep walking, lol! I looked at the nutrition label once; I just couldn’t do it 🤣 I’ve been in the baking mood too. I’m making mini banana muffins with Nutella whip 🤗
Thank you! I agree with you and love mixing the regular whipped cream and the coconut whipped cream on my fruit. I crush and add a couple of leftover Christmas shortbread cookies, and then take leftover chocolate, right now I am using the chocolate from an advent calendar, lol, and grate that on top. It is a very naughty bedtime snack, but I am using up leftovers, so it's all good, right? :D OMG, they have a tomato leaf scented candle! I have to get 5hat. I have always said summer smells like tomato leaves when you rub them between your fingers! Also looking forward to trying those ice cream sandwiches and very much looking forward to the shrimp tikka masala and the grilled vegetables. I don't like chicken much, and dark not at all, but I love shrimp.
I always love your videos and this was great. Very excited for the new products and hope my 3 favorite testers love them. And, if you don't, that is okay, too, because you will be saving me money.
I miss Trader Joe’s! I haven’t been there in about three weeks. I’m only doing Walmart pickup and just placed a delivery order at Publix. I’m staying out of the stores. I bought the Riisoni when my TJ’s first got it in, but haven’t used it yet.
Thank you so much for always flipping the cartons and bags over so I can see the ingredients. It’s so helpful because not only do I have celiac but I’m also vegan, so you help me save a lot of time. 🙏🏼
Hey Katie. Love your channel. Always loved Trader Joe’s but since I saw you I go there more often and I consider it my number one grocery store now. I went this morning and they are keeping things safe for everyone in these crazy times. I actually made the masala Sauce with coconut cream and chick peas and it came out wonderful. I didn’t put the whole can of cream in there only about half. And I also added some finely sliced Serrano chilies for an extra kick and some red onions. It was delish and highly recommend it to anyone who loves Indian food. Stay safe people!!!
Great haul Katie! I was just at Trader joe's last Monday here in Ft. Laud. and the ines was long to get in but I made it I didn't see any of the new items that you just shared but will look out for in in a few weeks. TFS and you and your family stay safe.
I love watching your videos and normally do not comment but today I needed this :). I am not sure what day it is today since it seems like this whole week is all blended in. :/ i was happy to see your video :) it made my day. I love Trader joes and I miss going there.
Our store has been well stocked. 10 people in 10 people out. Everyone super nice. Going in ..... coffee cake and ice cream sandwiches why not there's a crisis going on!😷😂
Katie, I totally relate when you say you'd like to bake for others but can't give it right now. For the past several years, on my daily TJ's visit, I have handed out my goodies to the crew. Right now I have to eat whatever i bake ( freezing so I won't be tempted) Thank you for the videos... The other day when I finally got to Trader Joes, one of the crew members called my name out and I jumped up in the air.. I was so happy at that moment ( and they had the song Happy on their radio station)
Awe love this!! Our regular customers are always so nice to see and really brighten our day. Also, thank you for the idea to freeze the baked goods. I either try to eat them up or throw away the last bit so I don't eat it.
I love using my fruit for what I call yogurt sundaes--some yogurt, fruit, a dollop of whipped cream, drizzle of jam or fruit topping and some toasted almonds. 😋
Hi Katie!Thx for always bringing us the tjs hauls!Do you know if they will ever start a pickup service?We need that now more than ever.....especially here in Nola!
I went to TJ's on Monday, less than 40 were allowed in at a time ...thank god there was no line. Fully stocked ( I didn't check for tp) so we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. The weather was kinda crappy so I guess I got lucky that folks didn't come out to shop.
Is the filling inside of the peanut butter filled pretzel similar to the filling inside of a Butterfingers candy bar? I'm peanut butter OBSESSED! Also I've steered clear of those cookie sandwiches but I may have to grab a box the next time I have to courage to go out to Trader Joe's.
So a couple of things. I am amazed and so happy that you did this. It's keeping things as close to normal as possible for many of us that makes a difference. Also I'm really annoyed that I live in DC at this moment cuz that looks like a fun sampler pack of the whiskey, but Trader Joe's can't sell it here
I got the Risoni when you first showed it a while back. I made it w/ chicken broth. I didn't are for it. It felt like it was hard/under cooked. Maybe it was or is that how it comes out?? I wanted to like it so much. I sent a box to my mom in her Valentine's Day present/box.
Thank you, for being a much needed distraction, I love your channel. Moreover, I love Trader Joe’s. Also, if I know I’m not gonna eat my fresh fruit, I just cut it up and put it in the freezer, throw it into smoothies.
catmama54 I’m near you. I’m in Coconut Creek and go to the one in East Boca. I keep hearing rumors of one opening in Coral Springs. I can’t wait to be able to go back. For now I’m using Walmart pickup and Publix delivery.
Judy Silverman We are in Tamarac and we use the TJ ‘s in Boca or Davie but now Publix and Walmart like you. Rumor has it they may open in Coral Springs where Luckys was. I sure hope so.
catmama54 The Lucky’s store was already taken by Aldi. It may be either the Barnes and Noble or the old Orchard Hardware store. I would have loved it to be the Lucky’s store because it is closer for me.
Best brownies ever: Trader Joe’s truffle brownie mix, 1 tsp instant espresso, extra 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/4-1/2c melted butter substitute (or regular butter), 1/2 can of blended black beans (not strained first!). Mix all together and bake according to boxed instructions. I know it sounds weird but ya gotta trust me. You’re welcome 🤤
Katie Hespe it makes them sooooo fudgy! Best brownies, hands down. The bean water helps bind everything, like aquafaba. No one will ever know there’s beans in the brownies, promise 💕
I literally made that brownie truffle mix TODAY!! They are super rich and chocolaty. I can’t stop cooking and baking I’ve been making carbonara, fried chicken, pies lol someone needs to stop me.
Agh, you’re killing me lol jk. I wish I could get my hands on those candles and soaps. I need some Happy in my life! Stuck at home, having to homeschool my 4 kiddos is not fun for anyone 😬. Unfortunately the closest Trader Joe’s is 2 hrs away😩😩 Thanks for the video, i needed to watch something fun!
Hang in there sister. We are in this together and we will get through this. Hopefully everyone is taking it seriously and only going out when absolutely necessary.
Katie have you tried the brownie crisp coffee ice cream sandwiches?! OMG sooo good - I don’t know if they’re new or not but I’d never noticed them before
I am just thankful this virus didn't happen during holiday season. During the rest of the year there's nothing I need to rush out and get. Although I love the chocolate chip meringues and may need to stop by (the closest is abut 35 min away) when I am done with those. Luckily I bought 3 containers last time. I am almost done with the 2nd.
Is this videos’ whiskey and the Johnny Walker Game of Thrones promotional whiskey from the previous video available Nation wide? The NYC Union Square Wine shop didn’t have any. Those new nuts are a savory delight great with cold cuts/ charcuterie. Thank you KH and family😍🥰
I'm not sure if its available nationwide or not. I would suggest you call your local TJ's and see if they have it and if not if they are able to order it.
Katie Hespe Thank you for replying. Please keep safe and Be son is so cute and such a delight. I will ask my store about the whiskey and the possibility of order it. I didn’t know that was an option. Thank you again. Really, really enjoy your family and your hauls no matter the store.
I wish I could go to TJ. Being quarantined has caused hysteria @ my local TJ. The lines are down the block even before they open in my city. I cant wait for this to be over.
WOW! That's how it was last week for us. It has calmed down quite a bit now. Still lines but just to limit the amount of customers in the store. The lines are usually only a 2-3 min wait.
From what I've read/heard the virus can't be transferred in food. You could always reach out to people if you want to bake for them and then leave it on their front step so you don't come in contact with them. Just a thought that some people might enjoy the simple gesture!
I went into Trader Joe’s, in Gainesville Florida, this past weekend to get groceries and I was so impressed with the way the store was running.

Thank you for bringing normalcy and for working so hard. We praise you and all those working extra hard for all of us!
It's nice that you're maintaining some normalcy in your life at this crazy time! Thanks for sharing the new goodies at Trader Joe's!
Can you do a video on the masala sauce with you coconut cream & chickpeas or smart tenders? Sounds yummy
Yes for sure!
Katie please stay safe & healthy. Thank you to all the TJ `s employees who continue to work through this difficult time. Can't wait until this is all over & can go to TJ `s. I need flowers in my life. The daffodils are beautiful.

I appreciate this comment ❤️

Thanks for your positive post,
you’re a ray of sunshine! Be well. 🌞
So for the masala simmer sauce, do you just mix the whole sauce and whole coconut cream and let it simmer?
I always see those ice cream sandwiches and I keep walking, lol! I looked at the nutrition label once; I just couldn’t do it 🤣 I’ve been in the baking mood too. I’m making mini banana muffins with Nutella whip 🤗
Thanks for sharing And thanks for still working at the store right now You are appreciated

Judy Silverman me too 😭
A G OMG I wish they had a delivery service! How awesome
Would that be!!!
Judy Silverman plus for old people it helps us and they don’t say you can only buy two apples like Trader Joes
Thank you so much for always flipping the cartons and bags over so I can see the ingredients. It’s so helpful because not only do I have celiac but I’m also vegan, so you help me save a lot of time. 🙏🏼

My TJS had my favorite , Pancake Bread. My favorite comfort food.
Our store has been well stocked. 10 people in 10 people out. Everyone super nice. Going in ..... coffee cake and ice cream sandwiches why not there's a crisis going on!😷😂
I wish we had a Trader Joe’s. I hear such great things. God bless and stay safe. 💕👏🏻

I love using my fruit for what I call yogurt sundaes--some yogurt, fruit, a dollop of whipped cream, drizzle of jam or fruit topping and some toasted almonds. 😋
YUMMYYY!!!
Thanks, Katie for your positive comments! Hope we all get through this together ! : )
Hi Katie!Thx for always bringing us the tjs hauls!Do you know if they will ever start a pickup service?We need that now more than ever.....especially here in Nola!
Cedar Ridge is a few miles up the road from my house! I LOVE their wine and my husband loves their whiskey, hope you love it!
Awesome haul!! Can we get recipe videos for the stuffed peppers and chickpea (or "chicken") masala!? Those both sound so good.
Thank you for bringing back some normalcy to my life!
OMG! I need to try those chocolate covered pretzels.... those look so good.
I went to TJ's on Monday, less than 40 were allowed in at a time ...thank god there was no line. Fully stocked ( I didn't check for tp) so we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. The weather was kinda crappy so I guess I got lucky that folks didn't come out to shop.
Yay!!! Normal content 🥰🥰🥰🥰
woohoo!!
I love that chocolate chip sandwich ice cream, my favorite 💕
the bambino pepperoni pizzas are amazing AND the madarin orange chicken (frozen section) with the white sticky rice
I love watching your videos! Thanks for all the info
I need the chickpea recipe! And those soaps are precious ☺️
Is the filling inside of the peanut butter filled pretzel similar to the filling inside of a Butterfingers candy bar? I'm peanut butter OBSESSED! Also I've steered clear of those cookie sandwiches but I may have to grab a box the next time I have to courage to go out to Trader Joe's.
Thank you for working at this time.
Stuffed bell pepper recipe please!! I love the vegetarian recipes - giving good ideas for meatless mondays
So a couple of things. I am amazed and so happy that you did this. It's keeping things as close to normal as possible for many of us that makes a difference. Also I'm really annoyed that I live in DC at this moment cuz that looks like a fun sampler pack of the whiskey, but Trader Joe's can't sell it here
Oh my goodness, Cedar Ridge is about 20 miles from my house. They have really really good wine too!
Glad they are highly recommended. Ive heard nothing but good things.
I have been waiting for you Katie. Thank you! ❤️
I got the Risoni when you first showed it a while back. I made it w/ chicken broth. I didn't are for it. It felt like it was hard/under cooked. Maybe it was or is that how it comes out?? I wanted to like it so much. I sent a box to my mom in her Valentine's Day present/box.

Yes, that is a great suggestion and something some may not think of. Thank you 😘
We can’t get into our TJ’s here in FtLd as the lines are incredible. I miss it and now even more so. Stay safe
catmama54 I’m near you. I’m in Coconut Creek and go to the one in East Boca. I keep hearing rumors of one opening in Coral Springs. I can’t wait to be able to go back. For now I’m using Walmart pickup and Publix delivery.

catmama54 I know what you mean. I hate that parking lot!
I missed these! And I’m SO EXCITED because I get to go back to California next month. I know it will be weird for a while, but hey ho. 🤷♀️
Best brownies ever: Trader Joe’s truffle brownie mix, 1 tsp instant espresso, extra 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/4-1/2c melted butter substitute (or regular butter), 1/2 can of blended black beans (not strained first!). Mix all together and bake according to boxed instructions.

Beans?!? That does sound crazy but I can see how it could work!
Katie Hespe it makes them sooooo fudgy! Best brownies, hands down. The bean water helps bind everything, like aquafaba. No one will ever know there’s beans in the brownies, promise 💕
Out Trader Joe’s has been stocked in central Ohio. Love they limit 2 of any item. Helps a lot! Stay healthy!
Some people can only go out once or less a week..health reasons, seniors and this crap sucks sorry
Hi Katie.. much need to see your video... ❤️ you guys stay well 🤗
I literally made that brownie truffle mix TODAY!! They are super rich and chocolaty. I can’t stop cooking and baking I’ve been making carbonara, fried chicken, pies lol someone needs to stop me.
That Belgian candy looks amazing!
Agh, you’re killing me lol jk.
I wish I could get my hands on those candles and soaps. I need some Happy in my life! Stuck at home, having to homeschool my 4 kiddos is not fun for anyone 😬. Unfortunately the closest Trader Joe’s is 2 hrs away😩😩
Thanks for the video, i needed to watch something fun!
You look gorgeous and appreciate the message in the beginning
Thank you 😊
As someone else who cannot stay home, thank you for the message at the beginning of the video.
Hang in there sister. We are in this together and we will get through this. Hopefully everyone is taking it seriously and only going out when absolutely necessary.
Will you do a video on the Risoni stuffed bell peppers?
Stay safe love your videos! Thank you for all you do.
Katie have you tried the brownie crisp coffee ice cream sandwiches?! OMG sooo good - I don’t know if they’re new or not but I’d never noticed them before
Thanks for the haul! Dreaming of trying those mixed nuts when this is all over!
Sammich at 7:32 took me out 😂💚
I really want to try the ice cream sandwiches! The masala sauce is soooo good! I made it in the crock pot with chicken served with rice!
I wish TJ could start selling all of their non fresh goods online. Been wishing that for years, but even more so now. Stay safe, Katie!
What is the nutrition on the pumpernickel
Thank you Katie!
I went to Trader Joe’s today was a line they don’t let people bring their own bags and I totally get it . I bought the Mac and cheese it’s so good
I am just thankful this virus didn't happen during holiday season. During the rest of the year there's nothing I need to rush out and get. Although I love the chocolate chip meringues and may need to stop by (the closest is abut 35 min away) when I am done with those. Luckily I bought 3 containers last time. I am almost done with the 2nd.
It's crazy how the little things mean so much now. You're so right, I am grateful this didn't all happen during the holidays.
Is this videos’ whiskey and the Johnny Walker Game of Thrones promotional whiskey from the previous video available Nation wide? The NYC Union Square Wine shop didn’t have any. Those new nuts are a savory delight great with cold cuts/ charcuterie. Thank you KH and family😍🥰
I'm not sure if its available nationwide or not. I would suggest you call your local TJ's and see if they have it and if not if they are able to order it.
Katie Hespe Thank you for replying. Please keep safe and Be son is so cute and such a delight. I will ask my store about the whiskey and the possibility of order it. I didn’t know that was an option. Thank you again. Really, really enjoy your family and your hauls no matter the store.
I wish I could go to TJ. Being quarantined has caused hysteria @ my local TJ. The lines are down the block even before they open in my city. I cant wait for this to be over.
WOW! That's how it was last week for us. It has calmed down quite a bit now. Still lines but just to limit the amount of customers in the store. The lines are usually only a 2-3 min wait.
Thanks for taking our minds off the virus. Stay safe!
Omg I saw you at the TJs! I wanted to say hi but the store way too busy. Stay safe. (:
From what I've read/heard the virus can't be transferred in food. You could always reach out to people if you want to bake for them and then leave it on their front step so you don't come in contact with them. Just a thought that some people might enjoy the simple gesture!
