Summer is slowly fading and fall is right around the corner. Every student on campus is fiending for the leaves to turn, for apple picking and haunted house adventures to begin, and for fall foods to make their way onto shelves and menus. Companies like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts began to release their pumpkin-flavored drinks, including the famous pumpkin space latte, and now, Trader Joe’s is responding to the excitement and has already begun releasing their fall 2023 items.
Trader Joe’s has never disappointed with their new concoctions. With their product developers always churning out unique ideas, it’s hard not to get excited about what the company has in store for the fall 2023 season. You do not want to miss out on either the classics or the new products that their lineup has to offer. Limited-time offers such as the butternut squash mac and cheese (a fan-favorite), pumpkin cheesecake croissants, and maple flavored fudge are making a comeback just in time for the start of your semester and the beginning of autumn.
