OFF MENU IS SPONSORED BY EMPEROR NORTON’S BOOZELAND THE TENDERLOIN’S NEWEST HISTORIC DIVE.  HAPPY HOUR NOON – 7PM

Here’s a list of the top ten Trader Joe’s products you need this holiday season. Because we have convinced ourselves that while the brand disguises its real conglomerate self as the Trader Joe’s brand, it tastes the best. And is the most economic.

Turkey Gravy | Available Now 17.6-ounce box for $1.49

Frozen Pumpkin Waffles | Available Now Do not hate on toaster waffles. Especially when they are only $1.99 for eight and covered in…

French Cultured Salted Butter | Available Now There’s a reason this is a part of the top ten Trader Joe’s products you need…because this shit is affordable decadence in a 8.8 ounce pack of our $2.99. And it’s just as good as the French stuff. Especially when it’s on a Pumpkin waffle with…

Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup | Available Now 8 ounce bottle for $9.99

Pumpkin Pie Spice |Available Now At only $1.99 in a 1.8 ounce glass jar. This pre-mixed mix contains ginger, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom and dehydrated lemon. Lightyears better than any of the competitors.

Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix AND Gingerbread Cake & Baking Mix | Nothing like the smell of warm spices baking in the oven on a Christmas morning. And it’s only $2.49 (I remember when these babies were $0.99)

Danish Kringle – Available Now The Trader Joe’s Almond Kringle is actually made by the Racine Danish Kringles. But, it’s only under $10 at TJ’s and around $20 if you buy it directly from Racine. 

Panettone | Trader Giotto’s Panettone was a mere $4.99 for each 26.5 ounce cake. And of course, we turn that shit into French Toast the next day. Boo-yow.

Garlic and Onion Jam |$2.99 for each 10 ounce. Schmear this jam on a crusty slice of bread, top with a slice of roast beef blue cheese!

This one is not food related, but Poinsettias! Deck your halls with these 6.5” beauties for only $5.99 a piece! And if you have a green thumb, they’ll last passed the holiday season. Although the flowers had dropped, I was able to keep my leaves green for months! Until someone I know killed it while I was on vacation. What a maroon.
