Because I write about food and beverages daily, hitting a few popular stores regularly is part of my job description. One of those is Trader Joe’s. Whenever I hit my local Pennsylvania store, I talk to everyone working there, enquiring about the latest, greatest, and most popular products flying off the shelves. I also research online, checking Trader Joe’s influencer social media accounts. Here are the 7 Trader Joe’s fall finds shoppers are grabbing right now.

Apple Pie Spread
Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s Aficionado shared a bunch of new product drops, including Apple pie spread. “Yes, it goes on toast, but also on a spoon straight to your mouth,” they wrote.
Lattice Ketchup Potato Chips
Trader Joe’s
If you loves french fries with ketchup, grab a bag of the newest TJ’s snack. “New drop at Trader Joe’s: Lattice Ketchup Potato Chips 🍅🥔✨ If ketchup is your love language, these are basically a love letter to your taste buds. Me? I’m team BBQ all the way, so these didn’t win my heart, but I know some of you will go all-in for them,” Trader Joe’s Aficionado wrote.
Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Trader Joe’s
Over in the prepared food section, there is a new Asian inspired item. “Tried the new ready-to-eat Chicken Lettuce Wraps at Trader Joe’s and… let’s just say they didn’t exactly knock me off my feet 🥬🐔.The lettuce was crisp, the sauce was the star ⭐, but the ground chicken was kinda… meh. Not much flavor, and I missed that crunch you usually get from water chestnuts (though I get why they wouldn’t make it into a premade meal). Overall: not terrible, just not the TJ’s home run I was hoping for. But hey, the sauce definitely carried the team here. Would I buy again? Maybe if I was really craving lettuce wraps and didn’t feel like cooking,” Trader Joe’s Aficionado wrote. “Aw I loved it!” commented one shopper.
Protein Pancakes
Trader Joe’s
Over in the freezer section there is a new breakfast food. “New at Trader Joe’s: PROTEIN PANCAKES!” wrote Trader Joe’s Aficionado. “Fluffy, golden, and stacked with 20g of protein per package, finally, a breakfast that lets you flex and feast at the same time.”
