I was at my Texas TJ's today, and I wish I had seen this first!! It is always such a sensory overload when I first get there!! Not the same ole, same ole. Love that they package perfectly for single or couple buying. Great vid, Gina 😊
Hi everyone from England. Just a few ideas for your TJ foods. The Camembert that comes in the wood box; this is ideal for baking. Put garlic cloves and small sprigs of rosemary into the cheese and then put into an oven or airfryer to bake for 20-30 mins til really gooey and serve with bread cubes or crackers and you can serve cranberry jam with it. Cook your whole turkey in 2 hours and have the basis for your gravy too - check Phil Vickery English chef. I have been using his recipe for 12 years now how I wish I had had it 50 yrs ago when I cooked it overnight. Your stuffing - why not add some sausagemeat from your favourite sausages mix well by hand and bake in the oven for 30 mins. It's great with turkey in a sandwich ( we would add mustard pickle to this ). ❤❤ Wrap your little sausages in bacon and roast , that's what we call pigs in blankets or put them in prunes for devils on horseback. Also your condensed soup. Add some cooked mushrooms and cream and serve serve over pasta, changing soup into a main course. You could add some finely sliced cooked chicken or pork. Use small amount to make the expensive meat go further.
The Everything seasoning for Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE. I love whisking it into my scrambled eggs, and it makes it super snappy to whip up a quick gravy. It also perfectly seasons a pot of chicken and dumplings! I just love this seasoning and I always stock up!
I am a born and raised Texan in Middle Tennessee and Trader Joe’s white queso dip is the closest I’ve been able to find anywhere to restaurant quality queso dip. So good I could drink it. Panchos at Costco is now my number 2 favorite by comparison.
The Mini-Hold the Cone Peppermint desserts are $3.99! Thanks for showing us around, Gina! The turkey prices are a bit costly but definitely worth it for convenience and taste. I love the mystery bag-packs. They make excellent gifts for friends/family. The White Queso dip is delicious, too. Worth it.
Did not see felt wreath or garland🥲 They don’t have all the wonderful plants out front of the two new stores in San Diego area I went to. Disappointed.

Thank you for the tips. In the USA, pigs in a blanket are sausages wrapped in a pancake. Happy Holidays.
Try dipping the Trader Joe's "Meyer Lemon" and also the "Triple Ginger" Cookie Thins in the Sweet Cannoli Dip...it is a very yummy combination!
😋
That sounds delicious! I'll have to give it a try! 😋

I’m going to try that with my eggs! Thanks for the tip.
Your timing is always perfect, Gina! I am headed to Trader Joe’s this morning! 😃

I appreciate all that you do .
Thank you 😊 🙏

You always do a great Jon highlighting Trader Joe’s items.
I'm glad you think so! 😊
North Idaho just got its first Trader Joe’s. Finally.
I checked it out yesterday 😄
Be careful of the non dairy creamers- are they filled with oils and extra junk?
I just picked up that truffle oil Thursday for $9.99. I didn't think the prices varied from store to store.
My local manager checked and said staff at Gina's store likely used an old clearance sign ; $9.99 at all stores.
So many wonderful items to choose from!❤
The movie pecan pies are outstanding
Hello Gina!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!
You're very welcome! 💖
My main criticism of TJ is when I find something I love when I go back its gone
What store is this at? My stores didn’t have any mystery bags or half of the season items you showed.
I believe I paid 4.99 for the wine infused sea salt.
I did not like the holiday dressing. It is gummy. I heated it in the oven. I'm going to try it one more time and cook it uncovered.
I have been craving egg nog ✨
Thanks Gina❤️
Is the queso spicy?
No I thought it was actually bland and I have a low spice tolerance
Wow!! Some of the foods shown are crazy prices! Way over priced especially the meats!!
The amount of processed junk sold there is staggering. Blech.
The pomegranate is overpriced! Get large ones at your local grocery for far less.
