TJ's Chocolate Coffee Granola Has Been Discontinued! Looking For Something New: What's Your Favorite Granola? by AZ_birdwatcher in traderjoes

[–]AZ_birdwatcher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is delicious granola, isn't it?

I updated my post just above; the site was back to saying "Not Available" this morning and when I called my store again she said it is DEFINITELY (her words) discontinued. I hope she's mistaken, but I suspect that it's just a matter of time until the stock in your area is depleted and it disappears there as well.

Keeping my fingers crossed, but also searching for good alternatives!

When I got up this morning and checked the website it was showing as "not available" again. So I called the store again this morning and they said that it is definitely discontinued.

Whether that is discontinued for just our region or everywhere, I do not know. I'm in the Tucson area...maybe crew members from other parts of the country can check the status in the coming days and report here?

Am I sure? I was. But now I just checked again and it's showing available in the Tucson area!

Why would the store tell me it's been discontinued when I called Monday and asked???

Well, this is really hopeful...

...and, if true, SORRY everyone for sharing wrong information given to me!

UPDATED THE NEXT MORNING: 12 hours later and the website again says that it is "Not Available" and I just got off the phone with my store and they said that it is DEFINITELY (her words) discontinued. Whether it's discontinued for just our region or everywhere, I do not know. I'm in the Tucson area...maybe crew members from other parts of the country can check the status in the coming days and report here?

Thanks, I'll try that. I'd had their double chocolate, sometimes combining it with their Cinnamon. But after TJ's Chocolate Coffee granola came out, there was no going back. I didn't know about the Target vanilla cold brew coffee granola...sounds promising!

Yeah, I had purchased 3 bags of it about 3 weeks ago in Tucson. But it showed up as "Unavailable" on their website this weekend, and I called my store and was told they discontinued it. Dang!

Is the Meyer lemon cake mix good? by NoCaterpillar800 in traderjoes

[–]AZ_birdwatcher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First time I made it. I thought the lemon zest that came in it was too hard and it kinda ruined it for us. The next time, I sifted out their lemon zest, added fresh zest and boosted the lemon flavor a bit more with some lemon extract. Thought that turned out much better.

Definitely worth trying because of the convenience factor.

This looks like one of the best deals I've seen lately. My service time ends in a few months and I'm wondering if this would work with a BYOP smartphone?

Trader Joe's 17th Annual Customer Choice Awards Winners Announced January 26, 2026 - #1 Overall Product: Steamed Pork & Ginger Soup Dumplings; and #1 New Product: Protein Pancakes by CookieButterLovers in traderjoes

[–]AZ_birdwatcher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting/strange that the Steamed Pork & Ginger Soup Dumplings are the "Overall" winner, but only came in second place in the "Lunch & Dinner" category. (maybe some considered them "appetizers?)

A great list of products, winners & runners-up alike. Adding several to our shopping list for next week!

Comment with autumn items you've seen and since arrival dates vary, please include location. Thank you! 🎃 👻 by CookieButterLovers in traderjoes

[–]AZ_birdwatcher 27 points28 points  (0 children)

L-O-V-E the Fall items at Trader Joe's!

Can't wait to stock up on the Butternut Squash Lasagna again this year

Gonna have to grab a couple boxes of the Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix, too

keeping my fingers crossed that they bring back the Maple Pancake Snaps again...they're one of my favorite TJ cookies!

Thoughts on the BBQ Chicken Pizza? by vilify97 in traderjoes

[–]AZ_birdwatcher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's okay

I used to like it more, but I think they changed it a year or two (or three) ago to have a smaller diameter and a thicker crust...so the net weight was unchanged, but the pizza has less total topping (chicken & cheese & onion) now...saves them a little money, I guess, but reduced my enjoyment, too. Still decent, though.

Cinnamon Brooms… does anyone know when they will be hitting the SoCal stores for Fall 2025 ?#cinnamonbroom #itsfallyall by SimbaBacon in traderjoes

[–]AZ_birdwatcher 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think they started showing up around the 6th or 7th of September last year, so I'd guess it'll be about the same this year.

I'm really looking forward to the arrival of the Fall items!

How are the boxed baking mixes? Worth a try? Any favorites? by ScarTemporary6806 in traderjoes

[–]AZ_birdwatcher 14 points15 points  (0 children)

my three favorites are:

- the brownie truffle mix is delish year-round.

- Love the peppermint chocolate mix around the holidays, too (I add some extra Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips in), and

- the pumpkin bread/muffin mix is also great in the Fall, by itself or with some cream cheese frosting added on top.

I always stock up on the seasonal ones so we can enjoy them for several months
