Fall at Trader Joe’s isn’t a season. It’s a sport. One minute you’re running in for coffee beans, and the next you’re fighting a stranger over the last box of pumpkin spice waffles like it’s the Hunger Games of seasonal shopping. The hits keep rolling in and the busy season of new product drops is on top of us. Stay with us for all the exciting new Trader Joe’s releases!
This year’s fall lineup is another mix of cozy carbs, freezer-section experiments, and “did we really need that?” self-care products. Some of them are worth hoarding; others are just proof that TJ’s product developers are having way too much fun in the lab.
Here’s the snarky breakdown, plus a complete list of every new product we’ve spotted in the past couple of weeks so you can track down your favorites before they disappear.
👻 Ghosts & Bats Fruit Leather Chains – $4.49
Halloween-themed fruit leather? Sure, why not. These chewy chains are perforated into ghost and bat shapes, making them the spooky cousin of Fruit Roll-Ups. They taste fine (sweet, tangy, sticky), but peeling them apart without destroying the shapes takes more precision than a surgeon. Don’t expect Instagram-worthy bats; expect abstract ghost-blobs.
🍨 Vanilla Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert – $4.29
Finally, TJ’s gives the dairy-free crowd a pint that doesn’t taste like icy sadness. This oat-milk vanilla is surprisingly creamy and versatile. Use it as a base for sundaes, blend it into milkshakes, or (pro tip) scoop it over your Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake for the ultimate fall dessert hack.
🧇 Pumpkin Spice Brioche-Style Liège Waffles – $4.49
Liège waffles are already decadent. Now they’ve been brioche-fied and pumpkin-spiced, which basically makes them the love child of a croissant and your favorite October latte. Pop one in the toaster, pile on whipped cream, and boom! you’re suddenly living your best fall influencer life.
Pair them with Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese for a meal that makes zero nutritional sense but all the seasonal sense in the world.
🛁 Honey Hydration Bath Fizzer – $4.99
Fall isn’t just about eating your feelings, apparently it’s about bathing in them too. Toss this fizzer into the tub and you’ll smell like a honey-almond spa for $4.99. Is it food? No. Will it sell out anyway because TJ’s shoppers can’t resist cheap luxury disguised as skincare? Yes.
🍆 Turkish-Inspired Stuffed Eggplant – $4.99
Finally, a fall release that qualifies as actual food. This vegetarian entrée is stuffed with bulgur, tomatoes, and spices. Heat it up, drizzle on some Greek yogurt, and you’ll look like you meal-prepped something impressive. Bonus: it makes you feel less guilty when you eat Loaded Mashed Potatoes right after.
🥔 Loaded Mashed Potatoes – $5.99
Sour cream, cheddar, bacon bits… already mixed into the mash. It’s basically Thanksgiving without the drama. If you serve these at Friendsgiving and claim them as homemade, you’re lying. But no one will care once they’re face-first in their second helping.
