In Trader Joe’s today, there was a whole large display of “fall favorites,” which was overall almost entirely pumpkin/pumpkin spice stuff, but included the return of some baking bargains.
Also, on the new products shelf:
And I don’t recall seeing these before:
Pumpkin kringle in the bakery section (with lots of other pumpkin things).
I had to physically restrain myself from buying those pistachios 
Surprised you managed. 
I’ve been doing a lot of strength training lately 
I picked up and put back the vanilla beans, because I still haven’t used the (much more expensive) ones I bought at Costco ages ago!
Thanks for the flag on almond paste – my friend who bakes huge amounts of pignoli cookies every year was a fan last year, so I will pick up some more for her.
Dark chocolate pistachios are going into the care packages I’m sending out this week, along with dark chocolate almonds!
I bought a bunch last fall, and still have a couple. It’s a dupe of (or made by) Odense, but about $3 less. I’ll probably top up my supply. Puff pastry’s in stock here, too.
Yessssss! Thank you for the reminder on this. I need to get a few boxes to stock up given their idiotic timing on puff.
I always have a can of dolma in my pastry for when I’m starving and don’t feel like cooking and washing dishes. First, I drain it then add freshly squeezed lemon juice and then good olive oil.
I also love their fresh, refrigerated hot (not really!) pico de gallo. I take a homemade bagel crisp, a little smear of mayo, then some of that salsa … delicious, quick, no mess.
I pretty much do the exact same thing. I love that extra hit of lemon & a drizzle of olive oil
