Haul & Oats, August 2026

image generated by Gemini

Time for another big Trader Joe's run. Yet again, we bought as many brand new products as we could get our hands on. We also bought dozens of classic items like salsas, drinks, and sauces. Sonia bought her favorite unsweetened instant oatmeal, too. That's why I've dubbed this one Haul & Oats, get it?

She likes Trader Joe's Unsweetened Instant Oatmeal for the multiple grains: oats, quinoa, and amaranth. She also likes that it's unsweetened in this case so she can use honey and berries to sweeten it herself. $3.79 for 8 packets. Gluten free. Kosher. She gives it 9 out of 10 stars. Looky here for nutrition info.

Let us know in the comments which products you'd like us to review first. We've already sampled a good many of these new items and have a few reviews coming down the pipeline, so stay tuned. Please check out the haul video in YouTube and like, share, hype, and subscribe! Thanks for watching.

In the Haulway, May 2026

Our first Trader Joe's haul video did pretty well on YouTube—far better than our average food review—so it looks like we'll be recording the goodies from our grocery runs as we unpack them for the foreseeable future. There's a bunch of interesting stuff at TJ right now. We picked up dozens of brand new items on this go-around, as well as some classics that we haven't revisited for a while, such as the Gone Berry Crazy! We grabbed all kinds of stuff from cookies to shrimp chips, the latest mini sheet cake to key lime pie wine.

Just like last time, let us know if you have any requests in terms of what we review first. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel if you haven't already and drop us a comment if you have any strong feelings about these products. Thanks for watching!

Haul of Fame, March 2026

So this is our first official Trader Joe's haul video. We've obviously done many, many Trader Joe's hauls throughout the years but this is the first time we've actually gone through each thing we bought on video. We bought dozens and dozens of items, lots of which are new, lots of which are oldies but goodies.

Many of the things we bought have already been reviewed here on the blog. Many will be reviewed in the coming weeks and months. If there's anything in the video that you'd like us to review sooner than later, drop us a line in the comments section.
