Summary
We can’t get through January without our first Trader Joe’s haul of 2026—and it’s a good one. In this episode we’re taste-testing, reviewing, and rating a fresh mix of new finds and fun favorites from TJ’s. From cozy sips like the Instant Jeju Matcha Latte to savory standouts like Filipino Style Chicken Adobo, Buffalo-Style Chicken Meatballs, and Chicken Lettuce Wraps, we break down what’s worth buying (and what’s skippable). Plus, there’s no shortage of snacks and sweets—think creamy dips, cheesy spreads, Japanese Soufflé Cheesecakes, PB&J Oat Bites, and dark chocolate treats. Grab your shopping list and chew along with us! And don’t forget to check out our Foodcast page for a list of all the finds mentioned in the episode.
