Some of them I will absolutely grease one’s palms again — and others , not so much ….

Hi! I’m Hannah, and you may or may not know by now, but I’m amajor Trader Joe’s fan. I’ve tried more Trader Joe’s products than I would like to admit, and I’m always keeping an eye out fornew additionsto the grocery aisles I know like the back of my hand.

On a recentspring grocery trip, I noticed that my local Trader Joe’s was stocked with some pretty enticing options I’d never tried before. So, I decided to do a little haul and taste test several of them.

Here’s what I came home with:

And here’s what I honestly thought of all of them:

1.Spicy Tempura Seaweed Snacks, $3.29

Ooooh, these are good, and they definitely pack some heat.

2.Ube Pretzels: $2.99

I always forget how mini these candy coated pretzels are. As advertised, they really are adorably teeny tiny.

3.Vegan “Poke” (Marinated Beets): $4.99

Not only was this stuff better than I was expecting, but I actually really enjoyed it.

4.Strawberries & Cream Gelato: $3.49

I’d seen a lot of people raving about this ice cream on social media, but I personally don’t get all the hype.

5.Perfectly Pickled Pups: $4.99

These aren’t your traditional cocktail franks.

And sadly, I wasn’t a huge fan of these.

6.Calabrian Chili Spicy Pasta Sauce: $4.99

Unfortunately, this Calabrian chili pasta sauce is going to fall under that do-not-buy-again category for me.
