Hi Katie, extra jam refers to the percentage of pulp in the product. There has to be a certain percentage for it to be considered "extra jam". Hope this helps!
We go tomorrow! We will be at the Coralville, Iowa location, any Trader Joe's is about 2 and a half hours from me, I am in Peoria, Illinois. My oldest daughter and I go every 3-4 months and are hooked.
Hi Angee! I’m only 25 minutes from the Coralville, Iowa Store & my daughter shops for me, since I’m not able. I love that they have it there. I’ve found lots of things I like. Please be careful, we have a Winter Storm Warning out.
I just read that we should save our pickle juice, sweet or dill, and marinate our chicken in it for a few hours or overnight. Makes it really moist. I'm going to try this.
If you haven’t recorded your taste test, try this for the Aussie cookies: Bite off both ends. Use cookie as a straw for warm/hot coffee or cocoa. The chocolate filling will melt and go into your mouth. This leaves a melty, soggy cookie. Pop it in your mouth as quickly as you can. These cookies are a copycat of Tim Tams. Eating them this way is called “Tim Tam slam.” An Aussie friend sent me a care package full of these when I lived in NYC after September 11. It’s night and day from eating them straight out of the package.
Hi, I love sweet potato fries, but just didn't think dipping them in ketchup sounded good to me, so I make a dip for them, using Franks Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce and Mayonnaise. I don't have any measurements, I just put mayonnaise and the sweet chili sauce in a bowl and mix until it's the consistency of ketchup. It's Yummy!!!
Lol it' so lame, but with times being what they are, my weekly trip is something to look forward to after I finish work on Friday. I hope I get those heart macarons.
@@KatieHespe My husband asked me where in the heck I was going last week because I did a full face of make up, dress and heels all to go to Trader Joe’s LOL I had not put on make up in almost a year… 😆
I am a TJ’s crew member, and you are not alone! We have a lot of customers who’s trip out for the week is to our store. I enjoy seeing our regulars. It makes us both feel better to have a good conversation about good products. Stay well!
Thank you for this haul!! We are going tomorrow. I can’t wait to see the taste test. I’m excited about the oat milk and the mustard cheese you mentioned. I may pick up the plantain chips and too! I’m sad about the vegan cupcakes. I love your channel!!
I went to Trader Joe's today and kept looking for the new cereal with it's crunchiness however was told by an employee that this item was pulled from the shelf due to quality issues and the manufaturer did not make it to the specifications they should have and therefore it will be returning in 2 weeks
I’m always so jealous to see all the wines you can get in your Trader Joe’s (I currently live in Utah) but thank you for always loving Lodi wines!! That’s my hometown ♥️
So... I live in NH but I watch your channel religiously to keep in the know in new items to try. I have 2 Trader Joe's near me and the cashiers at both all know now that I come in looking for things I see on your channel. I WAS super bummed that we never got the Speculoos cookie beer, but I had the wine department looking out for it for me 😁. Also, mix the za'atar in to plain greek yogurt or sour cream 1 day before serving then use as a dip... So good!!
I'm so happy the butter mochi cake is back! I like making it from scratch but the box version is so easy and tastes just as delicious. And thanks for recommending the soft licorice a while back. Now I'm addicted. haha. I think I'm also going to have to try the chocolate oat milk now. Looking forward to the taste test!
I went yesterday and got the soup, Aussie cookies, and plantain chips. That soup is a new favorite for me but I only found one tiny dumpling in my bowl! Loved the cookies too. Haven't tried the plantains but can't imagine they're bad! Can't wait to hear about the honey….
Hi Katie, do you have any tips on how to freeze bakery items? Do you transfer to air tight containers or wrap in plastic wrap first? I have tried freezing cookies and muffins before and they did not thaw out with nearly as much flavor. Love your hauls by the way.
I wanted to do a taste test myself while watching your taste test tomorrow but I wasn’t patient😂 I already tried some of the new products yesterday🥲 the sauce was more like thousand island dressing than in n out sauce. I loved the plantains chips with chocolate though🥳
I tried the chocolate oat beverage and holy cow!!! SOOOO GOOD!!!! And my husband doesn’t do non dairy and he actually really liked this one!! I’ll keep buying that for sure
Recommend doing a TimTam slam for the Aussie cookies. Bite small amount off each end then use like a straw in hot tea or coffee then toss entire cookie in your mouth. Yum.
I ran to traders joes today. I can only manage to get there one a month. But anyway, I got the chocolate heart mouse cake, the jam filled heart short bread cookies, the mini raspberry heart mouse cakes and macaroons. I could not find the new Valentine’s Day macaroons but my daughter likes them anyway. So thanks for telling me about it. You can spend a fortune in that store. So I only allow myself once a month
Dip the sweet potato frites in a dip made with sriracha and mayonnaise! Delicious! Macaron rhymes with scone. Macaroons (rhymes with dunes) are the coconut-based confectionary.
Hi Katie, priot to your taste test with the vegan cupcakes, visited my Trader Joes and she checked the computer and found out they will not be ordering, I was disappointed however after watching your taste test, I am glad I did not have the opportunity to purchase it. I am a resident in Washington
@@KatieHespe I have been to the AV store, nice location. Are u currently working in a South OC store? I wont ask where, but maybe I will see u sometime as Im always running errands pretty much all thru South OC😊. Love Nordy Rack! Im gonna stop by tomorrow (Laguna Hills or Laguna Niguel) to look for your heart shirt❤️
I’m in HB and I shop at the TJs on Brookhurst and Victoria. We love it right around the corner from us. And we love the sweet potato fries in the air fryer! Must get that and the new sauce.
When you said TJ’s actually listens to emails I paused the video and immediately sent them one asking to bring back the almond butter turmeric dressing lol!! I miss it! Thanks Katie!! 😂💜
Hi !Katie! Another great Trader joe's haul. I'll be going to trader joe next week to pick up some of those new item. Have a wonderful day and stay safe.
that was such a fun New Trader Joe's haul! I can't wait to see more about those potato chips, they sound very interesting :-) and thank you for the information about the Hat, I've been sick the last week or so but I will definitely check it out soon, big hugs!
Wow Katie, So many new items. Can't wait for the taste test and Tim's mustard face 😩 lol 😅 thank you Katie, you bought it all !!! You look amazing. I love your look 😍❤️😇
There were so many more vegan options when I lived in Seattle that I've never seen in Minnesota. I moved a year and a half ago and was honestly surprised how different the trader Joe's were here in Minnesota.
Try the zaatar with the labne! My kids love that. I just toast a slice of bread, add labne and then sprinkle the zaatar. Also that combo with biscuits is also delish!
Thx Katie! Always a pleasure...Im looking into air fryers. I've heard good things about them. Since you are a fan, what kind do you have? Any tips?🤗...looking forward to the taste test.
Hi Katie, nearest T-J to me is a 100 mile round trip, but it's worth it. I rely on your hauls to see what I might get. Then when I get there, I get the monthly newsletter. I read that when I get home, then write down items I'd like to get, (cross my fingers, that what I want to get, isn't sold out) then I make another trip in a couple weeks. Love the color of your polish, you're going to have to start putting what color you're wearing in your description. If it's your polish (not a salon) can you share? Love your videos, hope to also see more cooking videos to!!!
Be careful with the honey. Another TH-camr said it wasn't sealed and was way too easy to open, which, as you know, is unusual for T.J's products. She ended up not trying it, due to safety concerns.

Thanks Mary, the jar didn’t pop when I opened it, but I could tell it was sealed. Plus I was the one who took them out of the box and stocked them on the shelf 😉
New sub. Been binge watching your videos and love everything! I go 2-3xs a month and can’t get outta there without spending at least $125 lol. My boys love anything potato. TFS
TJ’s does not have online delivery or curbside pickup. I wish they did. There are delivery services you can pay to shop at Trader Joe’s. I found out about it on the NextDoor app.
Wow, so many fun new products! I can’t wait for the taste test tomorrow! I’m most excited about the chocolate covered plantain chips and the chocolate oat beverage. 👍🧡😋

Limiting trips out so your videos are great help with my lists so I don’t miss new items

Always appreciative for the screenshot ingredient pause you generously provide Katie-so very helpful🙏🏼
Za’ater is mixed to a thick consistency with olive oil and spread on dough and baked like a pizza. Or you can spread on toast or wrap in pita bread.
Great haul Katie I can't wait until the taste test tomorrow 😊💯💯💯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Thank You for sharing your haul with us 😊💞💖
So many great goodies - the heart shaped cookies are macarons - mac...a ... ron. Macaroons are coconut, and also delish:)
I love the Australian cookies and I put the Za’atar on avocado toast! Yum
I just read that we should save our pickle juice, sweet or dill, and marinate our chicken in it for a few hours or overnight. Makes it really moist. I'm going to try this.
Good idea
Forgot it was friday! These vidoes make Fridays even better!

Yummy TimTams
Pepperidge Farm has TimTams in Target
Can’t wait to try them
@@rubywarda6871 Doegot to mention that. There’s where I get my supply, since my Aussie hook up.

You are not alone girl! So many people get dressed up now to come shopping at TJ’s.

Thanks Katie! I hope I can get the heart macaroons! Your shirt is cute btw 🥰. Have a great night & am looking forward to the taste test 😋
The Chocolate Oat milk looks fantastic! I hope it's good - we need a good non-dairy option in our house. Thanks Katie.
Did you get to try it?
@@247webgirl yes - we've been purchasing it ever since.
Your fingernails looked so pretty!
Thank you 😊
@@KatieHespe What is the color? LOVE IT!!!
Yes I love the color too! Name of color and polish and please!
My nail color is in the description 😊
Awesome. Thanks!

Trader Joe's has been a place for me to pick up organic produce both fresh and frozen at great prices.
Right! They have the best frozen produce prices and quality
I went to Trader Joe's today and kept looking for the new cereal with it's crunchiness however was told by an employee that this item was pulled from the shelf due to quality issues and the manufaturer did not make it to the specifications they should have and therefore it will be returning in 2 weeks

Love wines from Lodi!
Got true 19 crime wine can’t wait to try it
No wine at Trader Joe’s in Utah. Makes me so sad. I want that Snoop Doggy Dogg wine. 😆
Malbec is so good!

Katie you’re the best! I love your hauls. Your nail color is so cute too!
I already found the coffee cake and I'll be stocking up. It doesn't taste at all like a mix and it comes together quickly.
Very true!
we absolutely NEED those vegan cupcakes on the east coast
19 Crimes Cali Red is soooo good!! I have 3 bottles in my house now. They have an interactive app where the bottle talks. Cool.
I’m actually shocked that it’s good! I totally walked past it bc I figured it wouldn’t be that good. Well now I know and now I must buy!!
That 19 crimes wine is soooooo good!!! And here in Long Beach its at least $1 cheaper at Trader Joe's than any other grocery store
I went yesterday and got the soup, Aussie cookies, and plantain chips.
That soup is a new favorite for me but I only found one tiny dumpling in my bowl!
Loved the cookies too. Haven't tried the plantains but can't imagine they're bad! Can't wait to hear about the honey….
That’s a lot of sugar in the vegan cupcake lol
Hi Katie, do you have any tips on how to freeze bakery items? Do you transfer to air tight containers or wrap in plastic wrap first? I have tried freezing cookies and muffins before and they did not thaw out with nearly as much flavor. Love your hauls by the way.

I used the za’atar on the veggie fried rice! Yum!
It’s Friday! Thank You Katie as always. 🙏🏼☺️
Thanks for review. Went this week and my husband is putting that sauce on everything.
Haha awesome!
Put the zaatar on avocado toast it’s to die for!
You need to try the zaatar with extra virgin olive oil and also labne( it’s like Greek Yogurt).
You should bake a mochi cake and do a taste test on that! 🍰
FYI: You can buy Za’tar at any middle eastern grocery.
Can you try & share the tomato cracked wheat bulgar recipe? It is my favorite salad in the quad!
Thanks as always for sharing your TJ finds! Would you consider sharing your ramen recipe? ❤️ from Colorado!
I actually buy the one in the package with a sauce pack from Costco. I do add the umami seasoning from TJ’s and a huge helping of cauliflower.
Hi. I wish that we would have received the vegan cupcakes. I was so so excited for them. I work at the Trader Joe's in Iowa.
Love your videos! Can’t wait to try the Dark chocolate plantain chips, Tomato Dumpling Soup and the wine!!! Thank you

Tim needs to make a breakfast burrito video!
He has a video out I made it last week it was the bomb burrito. Making one tomorrow morning
Extra jam just means that there’s extra pulp...yum! 😊
Ahh gotcha, thanks!
My husband calls me the Trader Joe’s queen cause I keep going there I’m addicted
Wow Katie, So many new items. Can't wait for the taste test and Tim's mustard face 😩 lol 😅 thank you Katie, you bought it all !!! You look amazing. I love your look 😍❤️😇
Thanks Kathy. Tim won’t disappoint in the taste test 🤣
Awesome Haul Katie!
I enjoy all your hauls... FYI- Costco’s Kirkland Malbec is very good.
Can’t wait to get my hands on the non dairy chocolate oat milk! I love the regular so I can only imagine how good it’s going to be
You always ❤ explain everything so well, an you always look so nice.
I just went to my TJ about 3 days ago & I am in the Midwest (St Louis) and did NOT see the Vegan cupcakes😭 I don’t do dairy so I am so sad!
Bummer
your videos are so helpful! thank you!
Omg! How do you resist the heart cookies? Tell us your secret! I could eat 4 everyday 😂
There were so many more vegan options when I lived in Seattle that I've never seen in Minnesota. I moved a year and a half ago and was honestly surprised how different the trader Joe's were here in Minnesota.
I commented on your first ring, and this one is just as pretty.
Your lipstick 💄 is beautiful! What brand and shade is it?
Are the raspberry hearts the exact same as the raspberry stars during the holiday season, just in a different shape? Great vid as usual!
Yes! They are the exact same 😊
Another great haul! Thank you for your wonderful videos.
I can’t wait to see your thoughts on the Tomato Chili soup!
I finally got the Mochi cake mix today!! I also got the Magnifisauce to go with smash burgers I’m making next week!
I’m a sweet treat fanatic but I’m on a strict calorie diet. Thank you for showing the nutrition facts!❤️
Try the zaatar with the labne! My kids love that. I just toast a slice of bread, add labne and then sprinkle the zaatar. Also that combo with biscuits is also delish!
I will be picking that up next. Thank you!
That sounds sooooo good
Thx Katie! Always a pleasure...Im looking into air fryers. I've heard good things about them. Since you are a fan, what kind do you have? Any tips?🤗...looking forward to the taste test.
I’m looking at getting an air fryer too, Katie. I’d love your recommendations!
I think I buy that Jasmine rice every time I go to trader Joe's. It's so good and so convenient to make.
Omg the TJ’s tim tams😱 i wonder if they’ll come out with caramel
Great haul will look for these products here where I live.

Sounds like you have it all planned out to perfection! Thank you, my nail polish is linked in the description.
Be careful with the honey. Another TH-camr said it wasn't sealed and was way too easy to open, which, as you know, is unusual for T.J's products. She ended up not trying it, due to safety concerns. I don't know if that was just a rare occurrence with her jar or not. Just wanted to give you a head's up. In any event, I'm looking forward, as always, to your taste test.

Zomg. Trader Joe's brand Tim Tams!!!! Best. News. Evarrrrrrr. I hope it's not seasonal cuz I think it will be uh MAZING!!!! 😍😍😍❤❤❤🥳🥳🥳
Katie, I can't recall- did you do a taste test of the Corn & Poblano chowder? We had that for dinner last night with some grilled shrimp, diced avocado and shredded jack cheese. It was AMAZING!! Highly recommend.
Yes we did do a taste test on that soup. I remember liking it but it tasting a bit salty. I will have to try it again with something on the side 😀
Kim Valles, did you add the grilled shrimp, avocado, & cheese to the soup? It sounds really good!
I did- it made it into more of a complete dinner. Think adding leftover shredded chicken would be yummy.
What lipstick are you wearing so pretty
Hello.... hoping for something warm and cozy.
eating the plantain chips right now🤎 they’re soo good 10/10
