If fall is your favorite season, you’ll love the new fall foods that Trader Joe’s just dropped. Unlike other grocery chains, these picks won’t break your budget.
Check out what you should be picking up on your next Trader Joe’s run this fall.
Harvest Vegetable Hash Egg White Bites
- Price: $3.79
In love with the Starbucks egg bites but not in love with the price? Check out Trader Joe’s Harvest Vegetable Hash Egg White Bites to save some money on your morning routine. You can heat these up in just one minute for a protein-focused breakfast on the go. These egg bites have 12 grams of protein and fewer calories than the Starbucks Egg White and Roasted Red Pepper Egg Bites. By swapping these for a morning Starbucks run, you’ll save $1.66 each. If you visit Starbucks five times a week, you’d save $8.30 a week by going to Trader Joe’s instead. That’s $431 a year, not including your coffee.
Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate
- Price: $9.99
As much as everyone loves pumpkin spice during Fall, the cost of a pumpkin spice cold brew might not be worth it if you’re trying to save money. Instead, grab the Pumkin Spice cold brew coffee concentrate from Trader Joe’s to make your coffee at home. Each bottle has 8 servings with a serving size that makes 12 ounces of coffee. The 12-ounce pumpkin cold brew at Starbucks is $4.95. If you made eight trips to Starbucks for the tall pumpkin cold brew, that adds up to nearly $40. Trader Joe’s brings that cost down to $1.25 per 12-ounce drink.
Salted Maple Cold Foam Creamer
- Price: $4.49
You might be thinking, “Well, I’m not saving that much by making my coffee at home since you didn’t account for the cold foam.” But if you get the Salted Maple cold foam creamer from Trader Joe’s, you’re still saving a ton. This one has 85 servings, so even if you wanted to double up and add extra cold foam, you’re still keeping a good amount of money in your pockets. Let’s add in the cost of the pumpkin spice cold brew ($1.25 per serving) from earlier to the cold foam creamer (5 cents per serving). That divides out to $1.30 for every 12-ounce drink. You’re saving $3.65 on every Starbucks run. If you went five times a week, that would save you $950 over one year.
Jack of All Flavors Cheese Party Tray
- Price: $7.99
Planning to be the fall host with the most? You’ll want to pick up this Jack of all flavors cheese part tray. Whether you’re hosting a tailgate, a girls’ night or football Sunday, this cheese party tray can do some of the heavy lifting on the hors d’oeuvres. There are four flavors of Monterey Jack cheeses, including tomato olive, parsley chive, garlic basil and plain Monterey Jack. Pair it with your favorite sliced meats and you’re good to go.
Butternut Squash Risotto
- Price: $4.49
Looking for a cozy fall side that doesn’t take long to cook? The butternut squash risotto from Trader Joe’s is one of the latest additions to its fall lineup. The creamy butternut squash lends the perfect fall flavor to a main dish with onion, white wine, savory herbs and grated cheese. Cook this on the stovetop or in the microwave for a quick addition to any meal.
Fall Scented Candle Trio
- Price: $9.99
There’s nothing like traditional fall scents to help you enjoy the season. This year, Trader Joe’s has improved its fall scented candle trio by switching from their typical metal tins to colorful glass containers. This trio includes scents like spiced pear, falling leaves and sweet vanilla woods.
