This is one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. I have never heard of it before and just grabbed it on a whim. The cranberries combined with the almond flavor of the cake part are just...wow. I hope this item sticks around!
someone please describe them to me. š«¶ iām the only olive lover in the house & iām torn because i feel like they could go either way.
I understand this varies by location but Iām curious - either for gifts or staples. For me, the cheapest red wine, baking mixes, and heavy cream are all way cheaper than surrounding stores. Happy holidays yāall š²
2 purchases of "grated parmesan cheese imported." First purchase got moldy in 5 calendar days from purchase, 5 days prior to sell by date. Returned, replaced. Second one moldy 4 days later, 3 days prior to sell-by date. All within a 2-week window of time. Same store.
Both cheeses in a container, sealed initially, used minimally and stored in fridge.
Am I the only one? Reached out to TJ's customer support via their cs form (photos of mold and expiration dates not able to be provided as not supported via that communication method), and received a very apologetic email with no offer of compensation/coupons, apart from replacement if I brought it in again, which I was not willing to do.
Hm.
Hereās a breakdown of my Jingle Jangle Tin:
Milk Chocolate Candies: 55 (22.2%)
Milk Chocolate Mini Peanut Butter Cups: 31 (12.6%)
Dark Chocolate Mini Peanut Butter Cups: 34 (13.8%)
Milk Chocolate Pretzels: 15 (6.1%)
Dark Chocolate Pretzels: 16 (6.5%)
Dark Chocolate Enrobed Joe Joeās Cookies: 9 (3.6%)
Dark Chocolate Popcorn: 87 (35.2%)
Total: 247 (100%)
FYI - I have done previous breakdowns of both Springle Jangle & Enchanted Jangle.
I mixed them with some seeded eucalyptus for a simple arrangement. (Monstera in the background is from TJās also. Bought it in the spring.)

I am again asking for the mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups to be sold separately! They are the best piece in jingle jangle imo and I donāt understand why I have to wait every year to pick them out of the tin. They are so unbelievably good and I just want to buy a tub of them like the milk chocolate ones!
Hi! Can someone tell me how many calories are in the mandarin orange chicken with out the sauce? and then how many calories are just in the seperate sauce? thank u!
I wish they would put up some kind of warning when seasonal products are about to leave, because I would have stocked wayyy up š« I nearly fell to my knees in despair in the middle of the store when I found out. These are my favorite flavor chips of all time, and no other flavor on the market is even remotely comparable. I saw 8 million Thanksgiving chips that were sitting on the shelves unbought, and meanwhile the entire chip department was full of people asking the poor workers (who canāt do anything about it) where their beloved horseradish chips went. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!!
That's it. I love the product and variety and unique and seasonal options, especially their floral section. But shopping there is most often a hellish experience. It's a very small space with a large amount of people that are rude and pushy and seem to have no knowledge of personal space. And I don't know if it's just my town, but there are NO consistently quiet times to shop. It's almost always a frenzy. And my large city only has two locations and both are on the same side of town within 5 miles of eachother. š So, not only is it a pain to get over to that side of town in the most congested area, but when I finally reach the destination, it's not really a relief. I KNOW there needs to be at least 1-2 more locations in DIFFERENT areas in my city, TJ's.
Maybe it's my ADHD. Maybe it's because I have an internal dialogue. Maybe it's cause I was raised by paranoid people.
Crew members are always nice and polite though.
Does anyone else feel this way?
Itās my daughterās favorite but Iām not finding any reference online about it. Thanks.
Iām a sucker for lip balms, and am curious is anyone knows if these are a dupe for another product, and if so, what?
It was an impulse buy pre thanksgiving, and I'm gonna get sick of leftovers soon.
I feel like tomato sauce could be too tomato-y but alfredo would be way too rich?
Have people tried it with pesto? What is everyone thinking?
I haven't tried them at all yet so I've got no idea what they're like
And it's driving me bonkers as they keep catching my attention. I guess the only thing to do is eat the first tin as quick as possible.
Iām usually preeeettty good about resisting all the delicious treats and sweets tjst traders offers. Sometimes a sweet comes along that I cannot pass up. I was super craving chocolate and milk chocolate is my love language. So this milk choco bar w the promise of crunchy crispy cornflakes sold me quick. I almost wish I didnāt get it. lol š Because now I know of its delicious existence. Super crunchy and if youāre a fan of salty/sweet combo -the corn flakes have a surprisingly salty punch! I was so impressed by this product I wanted to share its miraculous-ness. 11/10 Iāll have to go back for more soon.. lol.
I quit drinking a little over a year ago and have been on a quest to find NA beverages that have that bitter flavor that most mocktails are missing. I bought this one a whim, and wow what a game changer. Bitterness like grapefruit or orange peel, a little whisper of spice and some brightness to cut through. Well done Trader Joeās!
On a serious bulk right now and looking for calorie bomb ideas that are tasty and good value. So far I've just been slamming half a carton of coffee blast or cookies and butter ice cream everyday but starting to get tired of it. The olive oil fried potato chips are a good classic as well.
Iāve just moved in with my boyfriend and have a new local Trader Joeās to explore. We happily discovered that this one has a liquor section!!
That being said, drop your recs!! :) Iām a big wine girl, ciders, and fun cocktails. Boyfriend likes craft beers and Jameson!
I missed the felt items last year. I got these early November in my store. They were going as fast as they were being brought out.
Tried the sheet cake as per the sub recommendations for my birthday. 10/10. No notes.
What are Malbecs you recommend at Trader Joes?
