The same things we hate about Trader Joe’s are also what we love about it. Products come and go. When a beloved product disappears, it’s like a best friend moving away without notice. But luckily they are always bringing new items in, and the fall and winter holidays are always a great time to check out the shelves. Here are our choices for must-try pumpkin items for fall 2023.
