Hi guys welcome back to my channel welcome to the first Trader Joe’s grocery haul of 2024 not only my first haul filming but also like this is the first time I’ve gone to do a big grocery shop this year if I’m talking quiet it’s cuz Milo’s napping and I cannot wake him

Up but I grocery shopped a couple of days before New Year’s Eve just to kind of stock us up in some produce things and just get us through um and I refused to go shopping until I needed berries again cuz that’s what I’m running to the

Store for most because I have a berry toddler and so our fridge was pretty bare so I did a huge shop today I will warn you this isn’t like a super exciting Trader Joe’s haul it’s not like a bunch of new stuff it’s just like our everyday faves Staples oh the heat just

Turned on glorious just like literally restocking our fridge and Pantry for the next week to 2 weeks depending on the item and yeah just to give you an Insight of what we eat we are a family of three it’s me my husband and my 2-year-old so normally a lot of snacks

But actually my mother-in-law for Milo’s stocking just like stocked him up on all of his snacks cheddar Rockets peanut butter crackers his sauce pouches pretzel sticks so I didn’t have to get any of that today which was nice but I still spent $200 somehow groceries are

So expensive but I’ll shut up we’ll get into it I usually start with produce so we’ll do that I was delighted to see that car care oranges are back it is Citrus season and I know that because all my trees are like in bloom not in

Bloom like have ripe fruit so I’m sure these will be delicious and I’m so excited I’m defin itely going to have one with lunch today I should also mention I am starving so I’m going to film this as quick as possible and eat I picked up a bag of honey crisp apples we

All love these Milo will eat them and honey crisp is just the ultimate Apple in my opinion you’re probably sick of hearing it but I still have long covid my scent and taste is still messed up and one of the only fruits that tastes like normal and SL incredible to me is

Mango um so I know they’re not like in season and it probably won’t be the best mango but I am just trying to like I also should have mentioned with the long Co situation I’ve been really bad about eating fruits and vegetables like I will just stick to the things that taste

Normal my long Co is getting better it seems like things are lifting and changing and so I just am trying to make it a habit to have a fruit or vegetable with every single meal I’ve seen a lot of like dietitian videos on Tik Tok talking about adding to your meals

Instead of taking away and I love that idea so I’m just trying to add as much like greens veggies that I like fruits to the side of my meal as I can so that’s also the theme of this haul I got a lot of potatoes but I got two russet

Potatoes because I’m in my baked potato era for some reason on Mother’s Day I decided I wanted steak and baked potato and ever since then we have baked potato all the time it’s so easy and so delicious I don’t know why I slept on baked potatoes for years I also got just

A bag of Dutch baby yellow potatoes those are my very favorite potatoes for like mashed potatoes roasted potatoes but speaking of Bradley has been making these incredible breakfast potatoes like so simple and easy but they are are so good and I crave them every morning so I

Obviously had to get more to force him to make me more breakfast potatoes and then I also got a bag of sweet potatoes again just trying to up my vegetable intake what I’ve been craving is chicken and sweet potato tacos like it’s so good if you’re a vegetarian just cut the

Chicken if you haven’t tried sweet potato tacos like something about it the texture it’s just so good so I peel these Cube them up roast them and then sprinkle them on tacos put guacamole lime Crema ah my go I am starving you guys I got a couple of lemons I have so

Many ripe Meer lemons but they have a different flavor and sometimes we just want a normal lemon so I just picked up a couple but I didn’t get limes cuz we do have a couple of ripe limes as well our limes are so ripe they’re yellow and

At first I was like oh no they’re bad but I Googled it and apparently that just means they’re like hella ripe so we have some of those I got a head of garlic I got a cucumber half for just like snacking I so phallic you guys know

I love to make like tea sandwi sandwiches at home I will take the bread I’ll show you in a minute cream cheese a layer of thinly sliced cucumbers pepper turkey Dill it’s incredible it’s like my go-to lunch so half of it will be for that the other half I’m going to make

Satii I am planning on doing like a meal prep type of video I have a lot of things to like make in a bigger batch this week and I’m think I’m going to make a video on it so stay tuned for that but the sstii will be part of it

But like I love to snack on satii my son is obsessed with siki we’re honorary Greeks because my sister-in-law alenny is very Greek and so it’s just rubbed off on us not actually but she has opened my eyes to incredible sstii I copy her sister’s recipe and it’s so

Good so stay tuned for the meal prep video but half of this cucumber will be for that I got a beef steak tomato there’s so many things that I just crave like slices of tomatoes on I’m going to make ricotta toast probably for lunch and I’ll show you what I bought for that

But I just like to have a beef steak tomato I just love it I also got the mini pearl grape tomatoes I usually get the organic sugar plum I think but they didn’t look good so I got these this week week you guys know I will not cut

Into an actual raw onion it makes me gag like I’ve said it before the way you feel when you’re pregnant when you smell something and like it like sets off a visceral reaction in you that’s how raw onions make me feel all the time even worse in pregnancy but I love cooked

Onions and I love to add onions to things so I get the diced onions from Trader Joe’s it’s so easy to just sprinkle them in there and comes in super duper handy in this household I got some herbs Dill for that sandwich like I said and I like to put it on

Sweet potatoes and I am going to make radish chips which I’ll I’ll show you the radishes in a second this goes in that recipe breaking news Big Time PSA Trader Joe’s now carries flat leaf Italian parsley they’ve always just had curly parsley they now have flat leaf

Which this is my favorite parsley of choice and we do have like our one parsley plant is doing really really well but um I require a lot of parsley and so I don’t want to deplete it I want it to keep growing so I picked this up

I’m just going to put this in like a little jar on the counter but oh my God I love flat leaf parsley I got a thing of fresh basil we also do grow basil in the garden but it’s not like the season for Basil so we don’t have that much of

It and I want to make pesto and the recipe I use calls for two cups of Basil so I just usually get one of these and it works out pretty much I usually just put the whole thing in there it might be extra basil but that’s why I got this I

Got organic crini mushrooms mushrooms are my very favorite vegetable I like to put these in eggs I call them dirty eggs and I think it’s just because the color of it looks a little more brown but I like to put onion and chopped mushrooms in scrambled eggs it’s so good I Cho it

Up put it in pasta I ate it on its own like I will find a way to incorporate mushrooms I love them I got some radishes like I said I love to make what I call radish chips but they don’t really get very crispy in the oven but I

Don’t know if you can see back there but um my mom bought this Toaster oven/ air fryer for herself and hated it and she was like do you guys want that and I was like actually yes we are like dying for that cuz it’s one of the only like

Non-toxic air fryers so I want to try to make my radish chips recipe in the air fryer and see if I can get them any crispier but it’s basically thinly chopped radishes with like ranch seasoning Dill oil salt pepper garlic like it’s delicious even when they’re

Not super crispy and they just are kind of like radish cooked I can eat the entire tray they are so good I got some organic red bell pepper the only option for buying organic bell peppers at my Trader Joe’s is in a bag I know it’s

Wasteful but I did get that and I thought it was a good I don’t remember what the price was I’ve gotten comments asking me to include the pr include the prices and you guys I just cannot I will never film them because it’s just too much work I’m just going to be totally

Honest with you I’ll tell you my total I spent 203 today which is more than normal I feel like we usually spend between 120 and 160 depending on the week and how many snacks we need for Milo and such but like I said this was like a big overhaul we had to restock

Some things but as far as individual prices like I just can’t guys I can’t I’m sorry but whatever price this was I felt like it was a good price for three organic bell peppers and I love to snack on these we have a pasta a dish we love

To make with these which we have some tomato paste we need to use up so I’ll probably put that on the meal plan for the week dip it in the siki I’m going to make like I just love a bell pep fun fact about me any Bean or Peas I cannot

Eat and this is like a mixture of both I hate them I just I hate them I wish I wasn’t this way but I hate them but I did get them for Bradley we’re also going to have a meatloaf night apparently well not apparently Bradley asked for a meatloaf pan from his

Parents for Christmas cuz he likes theirs and so we finally have a proper meatloaf pan we do have to go to Costco to get the meat for it but so he was like let’s get green beans so I can have some I won’t be having any on our

Meatloaf night and last for veggies is just this bag of salad we like the organic baby spinach and spring mix blend if you are a fellow cilantro hater like myself this one is free and clear of cilantro a lot of their um like mixes have cilantro in it um but this one is

Delicious and we love it I’m into more like leafy greens um probably more than Bradley but he tolerates it for me but I’ve been making like this like pasta dish where I just throw a bunch of Greens in it and balsamic on top and it’s so delicious like I said been

Trying to incorporate more vegetables so sometimes I’ll just make a big side salad on the side of whatever I’m eating on wraps sandwiches they come in handy a few more things of fruit I got bananas Milo is also a little monkey as well as a berry toddler so we have to keep fully

Stocked on bananas all the time and he goes through like why is this leaking jeez Louise he goes through phases with which berries he likes right now he won’t touch a Blackberry but he will touch a blueberry and he will always eat strawberries so I stocked up on those

And that’s it for fresh produce but some other fresh stuff I wanted to try out I’m sure tried this I know I’ve tried this I love Green Goddess dressing this is their vegan one it has avocado green onion lemon juice ches basic basic that was a mixture of basil and garlic these

Are like part of the vegan dressings line they’re like fresh and they go bad quickly so just keep that in mind but this one I love the dill one so much yeah I just thought like that spring mix some avocado tomatoes in there with this

Yum these went away for a while and now they’re back and like I just feel like they’re going to go away again so I bought another bag just to have like as a backup bag but they are the California sunri dried tomatoes I prefer just like

Dried ones not ones that are in oil we mostly use these for this hellofresh recipe that is my favorite hellofresh recipe we ever tried from them in my top like three probably maybe pasta dishes that Bradley makes for me I make Bradley make everything let’s be real but don’t

Worry he loves it but it’s like spaghetti with sundried tomatoes it’s like kind of creamy there’s almonds toasted almonds it sounds weird but it is incredible we mostly use that for these for that um but I love a sundried tomato I need to look up more recipes

Actually this is a skin care purchase for me but I literally used up the last drop of this this morning it’s their organic Argan Oil it is so good you guys it literally is just the best I think it’s $7 it’s in a beautiful bottle and I

Use it day and night I freaking love it I love Josie Maron but there’s no need to spend the money on their argan oil when you could get this one I stocked up on some Pantry items that I noticed we didn’t have we love their chunky salsa

It’s fat free I don’t really care about that this doesn’t have any cilantro in it I do love their salsa Especial which does have cilantro it but for some reason like I can pick around it but I love this for when we’re having taco night if Bradley grills up some chicken

I like to then take the chicken and kind of like cook it in the salsa it’s so good or like ground turkey tacos you just mix in with this and so I love that there’s no cilantro so I could just cook with it and it also tastes really good

Also Milo loves it and I am obsessed currently with this organic tomato and roasted red pepper soup I haven’t opened one in the fridge which actually maybe I’ll have some for lunch today it is so good it’s so easy to heat up I just heat

It up on the stove I top it with a crap ton of fresh parsley pepper and that’s it it is incredible and I like to have a couple in my pantry cuz it’s just such an easy lunch I got one single can of special cookies these are the cocoa

Baton wafer cookies they’re incredible you guys I have some so I didn’t really need any but it just felt weird not to buy them at all so I just got one can I usually get like two or three now for some Dairy I got two things of their

Organic milk we like the organic milk from grass-fed cows this stuff is delicious and it doesn’t hurt my stomach I had a bowl of cereal last night didn’t upset my stomach like this stuff is so so good highly recommend trying the organic grass fed you’ll taste the

Difference and you’ll feel it and while I’m up on my high horse you got to have pasture raised eggs they are so much better I like I talk about this all the time I used to call it egg tummy cuz scrambled eggs would like upset my stomach once I moved to pasturised eggs

They never hurt my stomach at all and they’re just deeper in color they’re more delicious like just trust me and try it once I know they’re more expensive but they’re worth it I promise we got three cartons of this because we go through eggs quickly I got some

Organic heavy whipping cream we use this for a lot of things we just like to have it on hand and then also some plain Greek yogurt Milo loves this I will mix in some like prune puree but also mostly for my sstii sauce I’m going to make I

Got hella cheeses so some what is this sharp cheddar they still have their Brie bites which you need to pick some up if you haven’t let me change your life I have the Brio toasts which I think are gone now cuz they’re like a holiday

Thing but I have a few left any type of cracker slap some Bri on top get their fig butter it’s like fig Jam you guys it is lifechanging it tastes like you’re at a fancy place just trust and try I got my very favorite cheese ever the whole

Milk ricotta cheese for the ricotta toast I’m probably going to have for lunch pastas whatever I can throw ricotta in and I also got some mozzarella cheese I might chop this in half and freeze half of it I’ve frozen mozzarella cheese before and it worked

Really well cuz I feel like I can never even the small chunk I can never get through it by the time it goes bad so I think I’ll try that but just basically I’ve I’ve made a couple things in the last week I’m like I wish I had

Mozzarella so I got some back to some more Pantry things they didn’t have any pea chips so I got these P cracker bites peab bite crackers baked with sea Sal they look really good but I like to dip pita chips in pesto and I’m making pesto

So I wanted something to dip and so I got these we’ll try them out we are also why is strawberry on everything but we were out of raw sliced almonds I like to put this in salads and pasta salad that spaghetti dish I was telling you about I

Just we love her all sliced almonds we go through them a lot so I restocked on those we were totally out of honey and I want to make this recipe that I have saved on Pinterest it’s like a Meer lemon vinegarette and it called for

Honey we have so many ripe Meer lemons I have two trees and they both are so happy which I’m really thankful for I just don’t like Myer lemon is such a unique taste I don’t know how to use them so if you have favorite recipes let

Me know but so far we have like the salad dressing and Myer lemon cookies that we love to make um but if you have suggestions I would love to hear them yeah we were out of honey so I stocked up on that even though my mother-in-law stocked us up on Milo’s applesauce

Pouches I don’t want to risk running out of them it’s what keeps him alive so we have apple mango and apple carrot I like to get as much vegetables in him as I can there’s no added sugar and these are just great my sister who is a

30-year-old woman also loves to eat them I can’t believe Katie my sister is 30 that was weird to say let alone I’m 34 but like Katie being 30 is weird I got lots of turkey I got two packs of um just like sandwich deli turkey and then

Two packs of ground turkey because I am due to make my meatballs that I make in bulk and stash in the freezer that will be in the meal prep video so lots of turkey gobble gobble I got some cereals so Milo loves the honey o we just call

Them Cheerios even though it’s the Trader Joe’s brand these are delicious this is the cereal I had last night and I used the rest of it so I had to buy more but this is our go-to snack of choice if we’re going on a walk and Milo’s in the stroller we have the

Little like snack caddy for his drink in a snack and he loves to just snack on Cheerios or like if we’re at Disneyland or just anywhere where he’s in the stroller for a little bit more time than he would like to be we got to snack him

Up and he loves Cheerios he says Cheerios and then I’ve been wanting to try this but I was waiting for we have two of like the like cereal Oxo things and now they’re both empty so I was able to get two cereals but I’ve been wanting to try their Flakes and strawberries

It’s basically Special K but sanss the red 40 which I appreciate I’m really trying to cut red 40 out of anything I put in my mouth or my son’s mouth so I love that Trader Jones will not use it and then we got some bread products we

Just got some plain Bagels all three of these will eat these for breakfast I got a chabata demi loaf I love that they offer like a half loaf of bread so I will like slice this in half and make a sandwich or that ricotta toast like I

Said I just love that they offer this we’ve made a really delicious garlic bread we’ve made aa’s garlic bread recipe which it’s really garlicky but it’s really good but yeah mostly for my ricotta toast and lastly we got the organic white bread what I do with this

Now is I will take half of it out and put it in the freezer and it’s worked really well for us it thaws beautifully I find that we use about a half a loaf in a week so then we just buy it every other week we use these for Milo’s PD

And J’s toast in the morning just like anything so my sandwiches so I find that we’d waste less bread that way and we save money and I’ve been loving doing it so that’s what I’ll do with this but okay guys that is it thank you so much
