Every week we give you a rundown of newly released products.
These are completely new products, not re-released seasonal products.
Here are the new products to look out for in the week of October 30th, 2023 with my snarky comments:
Trader Joe’s Organic Conversation Olive Trio
Trader Joe’s Says: “Two of the things we love most in the world are great food and great conversation. So, what about a great food that facilitates great conversation? Well, now you’re really talking. That’s why we’re so abuzz about Trader Joe’s Organic Conversation Olives. Brought to us by a supplier in Italy, who sources their Organic Olives from Puglia (the “heel” of Italy’s “boot”), each jar contains a mix of three distinctly delicious varieties of Olive: bold, buttery, and bright green Nocellara; tender, super savory, and reddish-green Bella di Cerignola; and mild, toothsome, and reddish-purple Leccino.”
Our Comment: We love anything with Olives in it and this trio will probably be in our pantry quite a bit.
Price: $3.49/12.35 Oz

Trader Joe’s Non-Dairy Cinnamon Bun Oat Creamer
Trader Joe’s Says: “Made with the same dairy-free, lactose-free, and gluten-free base as our Non-Dairy Brown Sugar Oat Creamer, this limited-edition, vegan Oat Creamer changes the non-dairy game further still. Its unbelievably smooth, velvety consistency is pitch-perfect for dressing up coffees and teas, both hot and iced, while its fragrant Cinnamon flavor adds cozy warmth and pleasantly sweet depth wherever it’s poured.”
Our Comment: We are not fans of flavored milk, much less flavored Oat Milk. This seems like a seasonal product for the holidays.
Price: $1.99/16 Fl Oz

Trader Joe’s Italian Black Summer Truffle Slices in Olive Oil
Trader Joe’s Says: “While it’s true that they’re an elegant addition to all sorts of dishes the whole year round, we find ourselves compelled to appreciate the irony that black summer truffles are especially suited for serving with winter fare. Trader Joe’s Italian Black Summer Truffle Slices in Olive Oil, for example, excel at adding a remarkable depth of umami-forward flavor and alluring, truffle aromas to the kinds of hearty pastas, creamy soups, and roasted proteins that define wintertime comfort food.”
Our Comment: We love truffles in pasta and pizza. It really kicks things up a notch. They aren’t cheap and a little goes a long way.
Price: $9.99/1.58 Oz

Trader Joe’s Felted Ilex Berries
Trader Joe’s Says: “The secret’s out: at Trader Joe’s, we are quite fond of felt. Or perhaps it was never a secret at all—every year come fall, our household products section runneth over with fun, festive fare made from fine, Felted Wool. This fall, we’ve expanded our assortment of felted wool items even further with Trader Joe’s Handcrafted Felted Wool Ilex Berries.”
Our Comment: We love all these felted products that Trader Joe’s comes up with. They are kid safe and never break and would like nice in a vase for the holidays!
Price: $19.99/1 Each

Trader Joe’s Christmas Sprinkles
Trader Joe’s Says: “Like snowflakes delicately descending on a placid winter landscape, Trader Joe’s Christmas Sprinkle is making its delightfully decorative debut at Trader Joe’s this holiday season! Made for us by a trusted confectionery supplier in Spain, these sweet, visually-striking Sprinkles come in a mutli-hued medly of fun, festive, holiday- themed shapes. Inside each resealable pouch, you’ll find green trees, red candy canes, and white snowflakes, along with a red, white, and green mix of classic star-, circle-, and rod-shaped Sprinkles to provide even more variety. It’s the most wonderful time of the year for decorating desserts, after all!”
Our Comment: These look awesome with some really cool shapes and colors to decorate all kinds of things for the holidays
