5 Fall Must Buys at Trader Joe’s

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

With products and tastes from all around the world, Trader Joe’s is every college student’s favorite trendy and affordable grocery store. A trip to Trader Joe’s will never disappoint as you’ll never get bored of the constantly changing global products that circulate the aisles. The products change according to the world’s seasons and holidays and this fall you’ll definitely want to visit your local Trader Joe’s as they will fulfill all your pumpkin spice needs and more. You can also pick up your own pumpkin to carve and decorate your apartment for ~fall feels~. 

1. Hold the cone…… Summer days are sadly over and dwindling away but don’t worry, Trader Joe’s has PUMPKIN GINGER ice cream in a GINGERBREAD cone. Doesn’t that flavor combination just make you want to smile and jump into a crisp pile of fall leaves? The pumpkin ginger ice cream is spiked with spices and ginger bits so your ice cream will be flavorful and spicy from start to finish. 

2. As fall hits, so does midterms and we all know everyone is going to stock up on snacks for fuel when they slave away at the library. What could be better than TURKEY & STUFFING SEASONED KETTLE CHIPS to keep you company when you’re studying chapter tests in the early hours of the night. Best fall munchies ever!

3. As the days get chillier, you’ll want some warm comfort food to heat you up after that long day at classes. Trader Joe’s always has the best twists on Mac & Cheese and this season’s BUTTERNUT SQUASH MAC & CHEESE will make you fall in love. Fall themed carbs??? Hell yes!

4. Drink this SPICE CIDER hot or cold! Warm the delicious, fruity blend of apples, cinnamon and spices for a seasonal kick, or drink it cold from the fridge for a refresher.

5. Make sure your bagels get on the fall trend too and get PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE SPREAD! Your morning taste buds will thank you.

Hi, Collegiettes! I'm Carmen, a Communication major at University of California, Santa Barbara and one of two Campus Correspondents for UCSB. I would love to one day work in either fashion, food, tech, financial services or philanthropy. My dream is to find a job that somehow combines several of those elements. Until I get there, I'll be munching on copious amounts of Trader Joe's dried mango, jamming out to my man, Frank Sinatra, and focusing on creating intriguing content! If you like my writing, talk to me. ;)
