We love Trader Joe’s…it’s special and a rare treat, I love browsing the store and getting our old standards as well as trying a few new things.

This apple cider is amazing! A fresh clean tang that I love to have warm in the mornings.

These tiny peppermint meringue cookies are perfection!!

Just tried golden berries for the first time (also called gooseberries) they taste like a cross between an orange and a berry. Everyone liked them!

Sweet and tiny, peppermint cones are fun

Took these little crackers to a party and everyone loved them! The fig gives a sweet chew. Super good with cheese

Speaking of cheese ! This is Skye’s favorite and always requests this when I go to TJ’s…thick and sharp

Well this pico de gallo only lasted a day! It’s perfect with their large scoopable corn chips

My whole family loves the dried mango, but these dried mandarins are the best!!! Nice stocking stuffer.

The chocolate orange sticks are Wil’s absolute favorite.

Haven’t tried yet, but my kids who love coffee and boba tea will probably enjoy

Dave loves the triple ginger snaps – they are the hard and crunchy type which is not my favorite, BUT! We tried this trick and YUM….we layered the cookies with whip cream and sprinkled with cinnamon. (3 layers of cookies and cream). Keep in the fridge for 12 hours and the cookies get soft like cake (icebox dessert).

Trader Joe’s salted caramel hot chocolate is a very delicious way to end this post. I love a special trip to TJ’s just every once in awhile. It’s a mincy family staple tradition.

I would love to hear what you get at trader Joseph’s!
