Nice vlog, I love Trader Joes. When my daughter was younger she used to love going to Trader Joe's because they had kid sized mini shopping carts which she always looked forward to pushing as we shopped, and they also usually have a stuffed animal hidden somewhere for kids to try to find and if you find it you get a sticker or lollipop or some little gift. Makes shopping easier with little kids. The Korean BBQ short ribs is quite nice as well.
Oh that's such a great idea, I think I saw a child with a small cart so think they still have them, something my daughter would of loved when she was littler xx
When I lived in New Jersey, I lived off the orange chicken from there! I don't even eat meat anymore, but I was weirdly excited to see it just now! Also, I loved their chocolate covered coffee beans. I was an au pair, and they were perfect to keep you going on the many snow days we had 😂
Even though the Tampa one is more in miles away from me sometimes it might be quicker for me to go to that one with the traffic in Orlando!! They need to build one somewhere in the middle just for me haha x
Great shopping vlog Katie. I think you got a pretty good deal for your haul - I was guessing before you said the total and guessed it was going to cost about 25 percent more than what you spent. I like TJ's but can't really go to my local store- there is not enough parking and the traffic backs up into a residential area - it is a mess. To me it just isn't worth it for groceries when there are so many other choices for perfectly good places to get groceries. Hope you are staying warm- it is downright COLD here in Central Florida right now! Take Care!
I agree I think it was value for money for what I got, everything ive had up to now is really tasty too. Oh that's a shame that its in a bad area for you, I think this one might be the same actually as its right in the middle of a residential area, think I was just lucky because it was Monday morning. A yes its FREEZING!!!!!
Hi Katie, ooh I love Trader Joes. The 21 seasoning salute spice is very nice, I put it on everything, along the Aglio Olio seasoning is very nice, if you like garlic, which you do, you will love this, again I put it on everything, from chicken breast to potatoes 🤪. They also sell lovely cotton tote bags, 3 and my daughter got a large one last time we were visiitng the US, and we tried to get the smaller version but not on shop had them in stock. I have a nephew who lives in LA and he is going to send us some here in the UK 👏. A lovely vlog as usual Katie, take care and enjoy that scrummy food xxx ❤
I spotted the bags as I was paying and the guy was already actively scanning my stuff so I felt like I couldn’t go back and look at them 🤦🏼♀️😂 I will next time though as I love stuff like that. I used the seasoning on potatoes last night and it’s yummy! X
Trader Joes is owned by Aldi and they've remained hands off I heard the Aldi family members visit stores while on vacation once a year . Also i follow on TH-cam some cabin crew who luv their salads to go Its a pity there are only 2 stores in Orlando the other 1 being in Winter park hopefully they open more stores as the metropolitan area grows in size . Thx 4 taking the time to vlog. Christy 🇮🇪/🇵🇹 👍
I didn’t know it was owned by Aldi! Yeh it is a shame there is only 2 stores, it would do so well if they had one down near me as there is a big gap around here 🤞🏼🤞🏼 they do eventually! X
@ winter park , lots of lovely independent boutiques and eateries! Then winter gardens is also nice especially Saturday farmers market ! William and sanoma is a favourite of mine ! Restoration hardware in winter park expensive furniture but worth a visit !
The Kumato brown tomatoes are really good. I would chill them in the fridge and then slice them up and put a little salt and balsamic salad dressing on them. So good! I liked them so much I took the seeds and planted them and got similar tomatoes from the plant. Also the Triple Ginger Snaps I saw in your video are so good. One of the best cookies I've ever had. They are very addictive though.
Ooh ok I will have to try the kumato’s next time then coz that sounds delicious, I love balsamic dressing!! I think a few of their snacks sound addictive, I didn’t buy many of them for that reason 😂
Funny that your last 2 shopping videos have been the 2 stores where I do most of my grocery shopping each week. Aldi has the cheapest prices on some products my family likes like the frozen fruits and the cheeses and organic yogurts. Trader Joes is a fun store with good prices on fancy treats and easy meals. Of course my stores up in PA look a bit different than your stores.
I did like the cheese selection in Aldi and it's definitely worth going for. But yes Trader Joe's is a fun store, I like the way they label and advertise too x
I could wander round there all day 😋 I'm not surprised they didn't mind you filming. You were spending as well. I wonder if you'd have the same reaction just filming & not buying. I'm with you, the pretzel bites sound deelish! I wouldn't have left the store without a bag 😂
Very nice vlog, thx. We think the prices are very good, similar to Trader Joe`s (It is called Aldi North) in Germany. How was the orange chicken or the food in general, was it good quality? Unfortunately there are only two Trader Joes in the Orlando area.
That's so strange that it's called Aldi in other places as the two shops are completely different. Everything I have had from there has been really good, I like the way they do lots of convenience food, quick and easy. Yes its such a shame there isn't one this side of Orlando as I would shop there all the time xx
@@Katiesfloridalifeyes it is also strange in Germany, they are two companies: Aldi North and Aldi South. Each company has different products and a separate marketing… Idon‘t understand the sense 😂
All the years I’ve been going to Florida (30 odd) & can’t believe I’ve never been to Trader Joe’s. Will definitely go when we’re there in April. Was it my imagination or is it cheaper than other supermarkets?
Yes you definitely need to go when you come over.. I’m not sure if it’s cheaper but it’s definitely competitive, I thought everything was really reasonably priced :-) x
It's about 30 mins from me on a good traffic day, but that's rare in Orlando haha, so it's more like an hour. Wish they had more stores. That's so cool that your moving to the area too xx
@@Katiesfloridalife oh yeah gotta love the Orlando traffic.. can't say I am looking forward to that, but at the end of the day it will be worth it. Thanks again. Hopefully I will catch you at Starbucks in Epcot sometime 😊
You will have to try it next time, even if you don't want to cook while your here their snack selection is worth going for. Everything ive had up to now has been really good xx

I will definitely try here on my next Orlando trip! I’ve always wanted to go to trader joes, everything looks so good and reasonably priced too
Yes its a must for your next trip xx

OOH I like the sound of chocolate covered coffee beans, sounds like my type of thing. We had the orange chicken the other evening and it was yummy xx
I love Trader Joe's! i go to the one in Tampa. I've been to the one on Sand Hill though. I really like the products and the prices!
Even though the Tampa one is more in miles away from me sometimes it might be quicker for me to go to that one with the traffic in Orlando!! They need to build one somewhere in the middle just for me haha x

Ahhhh I was at the one back in aug
It’s a great shop!! ❤️

@Katiesfloridalife pleased you like it Katie xx
Glad you joined the Trader Joe’s club. There’s one 5 minutes from my house so I go regularly for our favorite staples…always early in the morning.
Oh you lucky thing, I wish I had one 5 mins from me.... im manifesting that they build one soon haha x
What a lovely shop Katie.
I think a lot more of the frozen desserts would have made their way in to my cart, everything looked delicious 😋 xx
I know Lynn, but im trying to be good ha!! x
Trader Joes looks fab!
❤️❤️
Really liked this shop , and it didn’t seem too expensive ! Loved all your choices yum ! X
Glad you liked it, it’s nice to look around a new shop isn’t it 😍
Wow. That shop was laid out so nice. I'd love a look around it. Great vlog doll 😊
Its nice yes, not too big and not too small, such a fun shop x
Now that you’ve started going to Trader Joe’s, you won’t be able to stop! 😉
It’s the best and love their products! 💕
I know 🤦🏼♀️ but it is a drive for me so I don’t think I will go that often, probs just take a trip every month x
Their prices are noticeably very good. Great choices of items. I need to take a trip there.
I think their prices are very good yes, we just need more stuff like this near us don’t we x
Next time you go to Trader Joe’s you need to get their honey jalapeño’s in a jar to put on practically everything. I live for them.
oh they sound amazing, I have so many things on my list now after going as everyone has told me their fave things from there x
They’re called Hot n Sweet Jalapeños
We discovered Trader Joe’s on our last holiday and loved it. We went to the Sand Lake Rd one as well and it was great to see it again on your video.
Its a great find isn't it, I think there is another one in Orlando but the Sand lake road one is handy for when your there on holiday xx
Enjoyed the video ❤
Thanks for watching xx

There looked to be a good deal of choice and fair prices, thanks Katie!
Yeh the prices are great… I could of bought way more but trying to be good 🤦🏼♀️😂
Trader Joe’s looks great! I’d love it there! 😊
It’s a very good shop… but they just need more around 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Love trader joes , the first time I shopped there was on Long Island ! The maple syrup is so yummy !
Ooh I’m getting so many tips off you guys on what I should try, need another trip there already x
@ winter park , lots of lovely independent boutiques and eateries! Then winter gardens is also nice especially Saturday farmers market ! William and sanoma is a favourite of mine ! Restoration hardware in winter park expensive furniture but worth a visit !
Trader Joe's is going on my must visit list now, we once pulled up to the car park but I thought it was one you had to join so didn't go in 😢
Oh no!!!! Well now you know you can go in :-) x

Yeh that’s a good point actually, maybe if I was just filming then they might of had a problem 🤷🏼♀️ anyway they seemed friendly in there :-)
Great vlog Katie, each week you seem more relaxed in front of the camera! I need a shopping day, T J's is a great store.
Thanks Pippa, it’s just part of my day now :-) shame the shop isn’t slightly closer to us x

Looks like they have plenty of choice love orange chicken, panda express in city walk here we come just 109 days 😂
Ooh I love Panda Express.. not long for you to wait now 😎🇺🇸
I really enjoyed this week's shopping vlog ❤ Such an amazing selection of products at reasonable prices! Have you had a chance to try anything yet? xx
I’ve tried a few things yes, the spatchcock chicken was delicious 😋 I think most things from there are pretty good x
All the years I’ve been going to Florida (30 odd) & can’t believe I’ve never been to Trader Joe’s. Will definitely go when we’re there in April. Was it my imagination or is it cheaper than other supermarkets?
Yes you definitely need to go when you come over.. I’m not sure if it’s cheaper but it’s definitely competitive, I thought everything was really reasonably priced :-) x
Thanks for sharing! I hope to move to the area soon and can’t wait to go. How was the drive to get there?

I have never tried Trader Joes when in Florida but it looks lovely. Let us know if it tastes good too xx
You will have to try it next time, even if you don't want to cook while your here their snack selection is worth going for. Everything ive had up to now has been really good xx
