10 Best New Trader Joe's Items You Can Score in October

This fall has been a busy one at Trader Joe's. Not only have shoppers seen the return of popular seasonal products like Organic Maple Butter, but they've also spotted brand-new items like the Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake.

While autumn flavors have certainly dominated recent internet conversations about Trader Joe's, the cult-favorite grocery chain has still gotten customers buzzing about items unrelated to fall, too. For instance, the store recently sparked excitement among shoppers by bringing back its Italian Tomato Paste and Mini Canvas Tote Bags.

Now that it's a new month, why not add some new groceries to your shopping list? Read on to discover 10 of the best Trader Joe's items you can buy in October.

Cinnamon Sugar Cashews

From Garlic & Black Pepper Almonds to Honey Roasted Peanuts, Trader Joe's offers a variety of flavored nuts. The specialty retailer recently introduced a new kind that's perfect for the fall season: Cinnamon Sugar Cashews. Priced at $4.99 per canister, these cashews are covered in a sweet glaze made with cinnamon, brown sugar, and honey. Pair the nuts with cheese, crackers, and dried fruit as part of a charcuterie board, add them to trail mix, or simply enjoy them straight out of the container.

Nuts About Elote Mix

If you prefer savory seasoned nuts, Trader Joe's recently dropped its Nuts About Elote Mix for $4.49. Taking inspiration from elote, also known as Mexican street corn, TJ's takes crispy, puffed corn kernels and roasted cashews and covers them in what it calls a "cheesy, peppery, elote-evoking seasoning blend." These are paired with pepitas and pretzel sticks for additional crunch.

Caramelized Onion Goat's Milk Cheese

The cheese selection just got a little bit bigger at Trader Joe's, thanks to the addition of this sweet and savory variety, which costs $2.99. As recommended by Trader Joe's, you can pair the new Caramelized Onion Goat's Milk Cheese with crackers and crostini, spread it on burgers and sandwiches, or bake it into puff pastry with fresh figs.

"So good! We had it with the pumpkin cranberry crisps, a top tier snack," one Reddit user raved.

"Yesterday I made bacon wrapped dates with this cheese inside! It was like, maybe the best thing I've ever had in my life. I had people over, those were gone in minutes," another one shared.
