Thank you so much for continuing life as normal. It really does help to keep our minds off of what’s going on. As a black woman, I want to say I sincerely appreciate you being vulnerable and understanding. I truly adore your family so I wanted to let you know how much it meant 💕
Love your haul! My TJ'S in Amherst NY is the best shopping experience of all the grocery stores here. The crew is always happy, helpful and friendly. Since we are still social distancing, they require everyone to wear a mask, hand you a pre-cleaned cart and only allow a certain number of shoppers. It's always a pleasure. I wish they sold wine though, yours looks so good. Only beer in NY. Looking forward to your family taste test.🤗
Yes! Please keep the videos coming! I look forward to them every Friday!!! I live in West Virginia and the closest Trader Joe’s for me is in another state....2 hour drive away (Columbus, Ohio). My kids and I take road trip hauls to TJ’s about every two weeks to a month! So your videos on new TJ’s products helps me to plan my shopping trips! You seem so kind and loving and so inspiring. Thank you so much and God bless! ❤️
This time I'm going to refrain from doing my TJ's shopping until AFTER I watch your taste test.. I always seem to run out before seeing your tasting video and regret having not bought something that turned out to be A-mazing!! :D
@@thebossofmykitchen You also have to know your own tastes. For me, because I don't go to TJ all the time, it means I have to remember to buy it the next time I'm there. This is why I have to plan my trips after viewing Katie's tasting video.
@@SBakall2 I agree with you. I'm sure you're like me and don't buy everything she gets but it definitely has me looking at something new. For instance, I never would have bought the potato chips with five cheeses but they are amazing!! I also check the price of things and if it's not something I would spend a lot of money on then I just pass. Since I can only go once a month because of the long lines I do like to watch her first and make a list since I can't just go back the next day if I forgot something. this last trip I bought the watermelon mist and the watermelon overnight face mask. I primarily use Arbonne which I love but thought why not get something new and I leave the mist in the car. My husband laughs because I use it every single time we're driving. And you will not be disappointed with the watermelon face mask because it smells amazing and it's not greasy and I love it! Sophie, I guess we'll be back next Friday 🤗
Ok, we have been going through the sangria like crazy! Thank you for suggesting that. We keep it out in the patio fridge so you can sit out there and enjoy it in the sun!
Enjoying your videos. I was preparing for and had surgery so I haven’t been out shopping myself in months. Your videos have helped get the new items on my store list so I haven’t missed out.
Yes a video on eat you veggies challenge!!! I am always trying to find ways to make vegetables ample in my meal and the BEST part of the meal rather than a boring side dish :)
Yay veggie challenge !!! Great haul can't wait for the taste test. I've been on a veggie challenge myself. Making salad bar 🥳 I cut up what I like in my salad, put them in containers with enough for a few days. When I want salad,just pull them out. Thank you Katie for all of your inspiration 🥳 🥰 😇
I love watching you bc you try so many vegan/“alternative” items, others might not reach for. As a vegan myself, when you said “less cheese,” I was like: “YES PLZ!!” ! 🙌 hopefully the veg cheeses are better than the previous ones! 🤞Thanks for sharing your wonderful energy! ❤️
I have a feeling you’re going to make the same High Carb Hannah breakfast casserole recipe I am 😂😍 i bought everything at TJs this morning to make tomorrow.
It’s probably the one that high carb Hanna and plantiful Kiki are doing. Basically you have 1/2 your plate a start haha (potato, rice, beans, lentils etc) the other 1/2 non starch veg.
So excited to watch your haul just when it comes out! I'm really excited to see the taste test with some of the new items, and all the vegetables and fruits looked amazing! Big hugs for you!
Thanks for doing these videos! Now that we can't try things at work this is how I find out whether they're good or not without trying them all myself! The garlic cheese focaccia bread is fantastic toasted with avocado and the bruschetta would be awesome on there too!
Wow! Very excited. The antipasto looks fantastic and the patio chips were my favorite last summer, too! So many great items. I was just there last night and the only new item my store had was the sliced cheddar garlic focaccia, which I have already had last night toasted in a sandwich and it was delicious! I will probably use it for patty melts and salmon burgers this week. I like the potatoes and peppers, too and will pre cook the bag then use some each morning in a breakfast scramble. OMG, just got to the part with the flat green beans! I am very happy because that is my favorite. I like to cook southern style green beans and also a more Mediterranean style and, for both, that's the best kind. For the Mediterranean version, I put so e evoo and crushed garlic in a pan until the garlic is very lightly browned . Then add the green beans, cut into about inch and a half or so sized pieces, a can of Italian style stewed tomatoes and a little salt. Depending on amount of green beans, you may need more tomatoes, it's about a 2:1 ratio of beans to tomatoes, and let them all braise down until the beans are cooked. It's a lot of flavor that you don't expect from such a simple thing and it will be so great to be able to buy them easily at Trader Joe's. 😊 smoked cheddar cheese with paprika, how yummy does that sound!
@@KatieHespe I hope you like it! If you can't find the Italian style stewed tomatoes, and right now sometimes they are hard to find, then just sub regular stewed tomatoes, or even canned whole tomatoes and mash them up a little yourself, and add some Italian blend seasoning. You want the tomatoes to cook down and dissolve a bit so diced tomatoes aren't the best as they don't break down as easily. :)
Hi Katie, I'm a fan of your TJ haul videos. I was at TJ today, and one of my favorite seasonal products was back--the Meyer Lemon Biscotti. Another seasonal favorite, which should be in next month, is the Peruvian Potato Chips, which were introduced last summer.
Missed this so much. Heading out today. I’ve gained 28 lbs. I need to make some salads and get my TJs back ON!! That taco salad you make (Mexican?). Yummy!! The candle trio!!!! I sure hope there are some at mine when I get there. To all the followers here. Much love. I have missed the comments and community here SO much!!
I couldn't get the summer mini candles. Something about the glue that holds the labels on that says "do not leave candle burning unattended" won't stay stuck. Boo!! So they pulled then from my local trader Joes shelf.
I bought 2 sets of the candles and the glue on the individual candles stuck to each other and put was a mess. Couldn't get them out of the box without destroying the box and then had to pry them apart. They better smell good after all that work.
If you ever want to take out the salt flavor in a lot of soups, if you throw in a cut up potato while it’s cooking it’ll draw out some of the sodium. That’s what I usually do.
Hmmm...can't wait to see what you think about the two new vegan cheeses....definitely need to figure out the sweet spot for getting in your store soon.
My daughter and I went to the Buena Vista winery in Sonoma. We loved it and their wine. There is an interesting story behind the count that I am sure you can find on their web site. I cannot wait to see if this is as good as the wine we purchased there!
I like these hauls. Only wish the prices were either left up longer or displayed after you introduce the item. I'm so focused on the item that I almost always have to rewind to see the price
Hi Katie. I'm so glad you have joined the #eatyourvegchallenge. I have been doing this challenge too. I love Hannah, Kiki and Chelsea. I have been vegan for a year and vegetarian for 2 years. I love that you include the ingredient lists in your videos and let us know if things are vegan, vegetarian or gluten free. Thank you so much for the information you provide.
Can you give us an update on the zinc spray sunscreen? Does it leave a significant white case like other zinc sunscreens? Love love love using your videos as my weekly shopping list :)
Did you like the watermelon juice you picked up at Costco? That's much closer to me than TJ's currently so I don't know if I'll be able to pick up the cold pressed juice you showed here.
Love the TJs hauls. I’m a fellow crew member and vegetarian. I find it interesting to see certain products you guys get that we don’t here in Seattle. Like those tortillas. I was really looking forward to the focaccia as it sounds amazing, but I was really bummed to find out that it has animal rennet in it!! It smells amazing, which only makes it harder. I don’t know how busy your store is, but I hope you guys are staying safe and well.
I'm so sad. The East Coast will not be getting the Foccia Bread at least in NC. I went to my store looking for it, the associated looked in the system and broke my heart!! Said NC is not on the list. Also the candle trio got damaged in shipping to my store and they had to throw them all away. :(
I tried those beans a couple of weeks ago and I loved them. Usually I don't like frozen string beans because I find them rubbery. These weren't at all.
Yes you can pretty much buy a case of anything at TJ’s. Just call ahead and they can order an extra case and set it aside for whenever you plan to come in 😊
Katie Hespe I still love seeing you hauls on Friday’s! But I trust your opinion so sometimes if you really love something it’ll convince me to try it. ☺️
I would also love if TJ would have trainings regarding BIPOC bc I experienced a racist comment from a team member a few months ago and in the past year or so, I’ve noticed that my store has become less and less diverse in terms of people who work there, so I hope there are discussions about these issues. ❤️
Thank you so much for continuing life as normal. It really does help to keep our minds off of what’s going on. As a black woman, I want to say I sincerely appreciate you being vulnerable and understanding. I truly adore your family so I wanted to let you know how much it meant 💕
Your hauls are fun to watch and help me discover new items
Thanks for your gentle and happy personality. You helped me smile today😎
Yay, it’s my lucky week! Three Katie videos in a row! I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for keeping them coming! 😃

Kathy Haines where did you fine I fo on veggie challenge I need some motivation and I love competitions? Thanks
Thank you darling. Keep shining sister 👌🏾🙏🏾❤️. Love and light
I love seeing your hauls. I used to go to trader Joe's maybe 2-3 times a year, but after watching your hauls I may start going once a month.
I love watching you bc you try so many vegan/“alternative” items, others might not reach for. As a vegan myself, when you said “less cheese,” I was like: “YES PLZ!!” ! 🙌 hopefully the veg cheeses are better than the previous ones! 🤞Thanks for sharing your wonderful energy! ❤️
Yes!! I love those potatoes with the truffle ketchup as well.. so good!
I can’t wait till the taste test. So many goodies. Corn chowder that’s right up my alley
I have a feeling you’re going to make the same High Carb Hannah breakfast casserole recipe I am 😂😍 i bought everything at TJs this morning to make tomorrow.
Haha yes!!
We're doing the one from Brand New Vegan.
Love to watch these haul videos! I look for the new items when I head to my Trader Joe's!
That smoked cheese is delicious! I picked some up this week and I'm obsessed
Yes please talk about the veggie challenge you’re doing!!
👀 I want to know also
It’s probably the one that high carb Hanna and plantiful Kiki are doing. Basically you have 1/2 your plate a start haha (potato, rice, beans, lentils etc) the other 1/2 non starch veg.
It’s def the one that high carb hanna is doing
The book is called the starch solution. It’s written by a doctor
So excited to watch your haul just when it comes out! I'm really excited to see the taste test with some of the new items, and all the vegetables and fruits looked amazing! Big hugs for you!
Eat your veggies challenge, me too! A video on blending and seasoning the veggies would be great.
Patio chips sounds like what we call All dressed in Canada. I bet they are amaze balls!
The "Hold the Cone" desserts are our favorite dessert...small and tasty. Thanks for continuing to share the newest deliciousness with us!
Thanks for doing these videos! Now that we can't try things at work this is how I find out whether they're good or not without trying them all myself! The garlic cheese focaccia bread is fantastic toasted with avocado and the bruschetta would be awesome on there too!
Great haul video, lots of goodies. Looking forward to the taste test video.
I got to watch two TJ’s hauls today. My wife’s and yours! Thanks!
I loved the lemony arugula basil salad...used the greens on caprese sandwiches
I love cutting those mini peppers in half and then spreading them with cream cheese--yum!
Can’t wait to go to TJs candles,patio chips and sangria bring on the weekend. Thanks for posting another great haul.😇

I’m sipping a watermelon juice as I watch this video. Obsessed!

I love your TJ haul. Stay safe
Love the bruschetta! Put it in my avocado toast with Everything But... on top. Also good with scrambled eggs! Yummmm!
Those mini bell peppers are good as stuffed nachos! Yummy!
I love Trader Joes haul and taste test video's from you & your loving family. It's too bad they don't have Trader Joes all over Canada😭😭😭😭😭
Yes hummus is good with the little bell peppers.... delicious.
Thanks for the tip on the dried mandarin oranges. They are my new obsession!!! Have to go buy more❤️
Ughhh the patio chips were so good last year 🤤🤤🤤
Yes, I loved the patio chips! Too bad my store didn't have them last night. Maybe next time.
Ah! I was going to go today. Hope they have them
The mini cones are the BOMB!!!
I cannot wait to try the candles and patio chips
Missed this so much. Heading out today. I’ve gained 28 lbs. I need to make some salads and get my TJs back ON!! That taco salad you make (Mexican?). Yummy!!
The candle trio!!!! I sure hope there are some at mine when I get there.
To all the followers here. Much love. I have missed the comments and community here SO much!!

@@justaveragejane your description made me laugh. Yes I hope they're the best EVER
I’ve been doing the eat your veg challenge also!! Love it!!
Enjoy your hauls. I'm dairy and gluten free for health reasons. I want those candals!!!
Trader Joe's sweet chili sauce sells out, too, and goes well with the shrimp and rice. So good!
If you ever want to take out the salt flavor in a lot of soups, if you throw in a cut up potato while it’s cooking it’ll draw out some of the sodium. That’s what I usually do.
I was just thinking about trying to make cashew cheese . Glad u had the same idea . Please share 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hmmm...can't wait to see what you think about the two new vegan cheeses....definitely need to figure out the sweet spot for getting in your store soon.
Yay, a Hespe haul just in time-going tomorrow!
I can't wait to try that broccoli, cheese & hash brown casserole! Yum!
Those chips look amazing!

I love watching your hauls and I don't even have a TJ'S around closest is an hour away.
Can't wait to see this taste test!!

The cashew cheese bake sounds so good. I hope you can report back on it during the taste test on if it was good and maybe share the recipe!
Can you give us an update on the zinc spray sunscreen? Does it leave a significant white case like other zinc sunscreens?
Love love love using your videos as my weekly shopping list :)
I'm late, but I'm watching now, love your hauls. 🙂🙌
Now I need to find a reason to go back to TJ's so I can get that candle trio!
I adore the boxed sangria but if i have too much my hangover is NASTY hahahha. Worth it!
I enjoy your videos...
Thank-you for the video.
I made a list of the things to try:)
I'm curious to try the vegan cheddar. I have tried chao tofu mozzarella slices. Its good but quite pricey
OMG!!!!! I can't stop eating the sprinkle cookies!!!!! I have to stop buying them, lol
I was so excited to try the watermelon sparkling juice and I hated it :((( but I totally loved the strawberry one.
Pleasant positive distraction here!❤ ...🌎✌🖤💛💜💚💙
Yummy fruits and vegetables.
Hey Katie .. 2 questions… What is the dressing with the lemon arugula salad? How much is the price of the chocolate mint mini cones? Thanks Katie
Did you like the watermelon juice you picked up at Costco? That's much closer to me than TJ's currently so I don't know if I'll be able to pick up the cold pressed juice you showed here.
Honestly, it wasn’t my favorite. The box we got tasted kind of old.
I wish TJ’s would ship shelf stable items
I can’t wait to get that vegan cheese! Maybe one day they’ll come out with a dairy free hold the cone... a girl can dream!
You have the cutest shirts . ❤️

Trying to up the veggies while on Keto..
Hi Katie… Me again.did you put in a link for that fruit veggie diet you are on?
Wow the coconut and almond creamer here in Texas is $1:69 each and I love it too:
If u make cashew cheese, can you do a video? Thanks 😊
I tried those beans a couple of weeks ago and I loved them. Usually I don't like frozen string beans because I find them rubbery. These weren't at all.
The Argentinian wild raw shrimp tastes like lobster and goes perfectly wilt brown rice or any other rice. It's sold out often.
Thank you for the positive....
We can get negative on every turn in our lives....
A moment of “normal”? Thank you
Trader Joes sunscreen is literally the best sunscreen!!
I LOVE the pickle popcorn! I’m actually wondering if you can by a case of them in bulk...you know to share!
Yes you can pretty much buy a case of anything at TJ’s. Just call ahead and they can order an extra case and set it aside for whenever you plan to come in 😊
I wish you’d release your taste test on Friday’s! I go shopping Saturday
I’ll keep that in mind. I will try and post the taste test in the morning.
Katie Hespe I still love seeing you hauls on Friday’s! But I trust your opinion so sometimes if you really love something it’ll convince me to try it. ☺️
Are the other boxed wines any good?
I can’t say, as I haven’t tried them, but customers buy them all the time and rave about how good they are for a boxed wine.
High carb hannah recipe?! Love her!!
Yep! I just found her and am loving her info and the eat your veg challenge is so easy!
Love you! Did my TJs run today.
I would also love if TJ would have trainings regarding BIPOC bc I experienced a racist comment from a team member a few months ago and in the past year or so, I’ve noticed that my store has become less and less diverse in terms of people who work there, so I hope there are discussions about these issues. ❤️
Thanks Katie! ❤️✌🏾✌🏽🙏🏼
Thanks for the costs
