As a fan of ginger, I got the triple ginger muffin mix. They turned out very well and I would buy this again for a Christmas fix!

I'm as big a fan of Trader Joe's as anyone, but I find the autumn fixation with pumpkin-based items simply gross. I'm not alone. At our local store they were handing out various pumpkin items for free - putting them into every bag because they couldn't sell them.

The absolute best fall product (IMHO) is the pumpkin ice cream. Wowza! Tastes just like pumpkin pie! It's not pumpkin spice, it's just pumpkin. I was amazed to still find it late in October, although I'm sure it's gone now. And the butternut squash macaroni and cheese is sublime.

You have reached a new low with the TJ marketing. Not only marketing TJ's but also a never ending sequence of intrusive ads. I gave up asking to have them deleted. Even after "don't show this ad again," they kept coming back. Have to seriously consider unsubscribing. I expect I can find anything you might have of interest in other ways.

Unfortunately we loved Trader Joe items WAY too much! And it showed in our lab tests. Now that we've sadly cut 95% of them out, we're in the normal range again. Sodium is the biggest ingredient in most TJ items but we do splurge for holiday (looking at their puff pastry)!

Trader Joe’s sells Dolmas (Dolmades), ten to a can, for about $3 now. They have rice stuffed and quinoa stuffed dolmas, I don’t recommend the quinoa but I guess it’s a matter of taste. I was reluctant to eat dolmas from a can, but one day I was in Fresh Market and saw a staff member removing dolmas from a large can and placing them on a pan for their olive bar, the lightbulb went on. I squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the dolmas when I place them in the container they will sit in in the fridge. I also keep a can in the refrigerator for fast access, they are better cold. Unfortunately, Trader Joe’s is often out of Dolmas so I make sure to stock up when they are available..

So much pumpkin! opn the non pumpkin spice list are the White Truffle potato chips are divine. I am 4 1/2 hours away from the nearest TJ, and if they would ship these by the case I would eat a bag a day.

I actually avoid most "pumpkin spice" products, but did snag a box of #20, Pumpkin Cranberry Crisps--those were SO delicious. Almost like ginger snaps, but lighter and although savory, the cranberries gave a sweet bite. We ate them with a mild goat cheese and they disappeared like magic. That was in late Sep, when I was visiting in Texas--nearest TJ to me here in NC is about 80 miles, so no joy about getting picking them up again.

Too many pumpkin products and half of them aren't available anymore. Should've published their November/December holiday products.

Love all the Trader Joe "Fall" items but unfortunatly this article needed to be published mid September, my TJ's is sold out of almost everything, tried to get maple butter 3 weeks ago only to be told sorry it's seasonal and sold out..... they have a few Thanksgiving items and now it's all about the December holidays.

I agree. I’m getting tired of finding something I really like and then it’s gone next time because it’s “seasonal!”

On October 29th I went to my local TJs. When I couldn't find the Autumn Harvest Soup I went to the front to inquire about its location. A "crew member" looked up the item in the computer and informed me that the AUTUMN Harvest Soup was "seasonal" and no longer in stock. Guess it was a short Autumn this year..

I got the same answer one time when I tried to buy canned pumpkin there a week before thanksgiving.

Canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, is pretty easily found at most supermarkets. Nothing magical about TJs.

So, the only article you found to refer to was one with vulgar cursing? WOW!

The pumpkin blondies are delicious! Not too sweet. Great with coffee or tea.

I'm sorry I'm so over pumpkin spice. I can't stand it! Can't we move on! It's not that good.

I totally agree that it's time to move on from this tired pumpkin spice fad. At this point, the food industry is so invested in it that I fear we will be stuck with it forever. The real aggravation for me is all the regular products I cannot find because they were removed to make room for PS!
