Red Pepper, Cranberry & Walnut Dip
Price: $3.99
This tangy dip is a flavor bomb of dried cranberries, smoky roasted red peppers, and crunchy walnuts. It's smooth, savory, tart, and sweet at the same time, and it's festive enough to earn a spot on your holiday appetizer spread. But don't wait too long.
Try it with crackers, pita chips, or as a sandwich spread right now.
Maple Poffertjes
Price: $3.49
Tiny but mighty, these fluffy Dutch pancakes are lightly sweetened with maple syrup. They're popular at festivals in the Netherlands, perhaps something like funnel cakes in the United States, which likely have German origins. Just heat and serve for breakfast or an easy dessert.
A bit of fruit preserves on top or a dusting of powdered sugar is optional, but highly recommended.
Murasaki Sweet Potatoes
Price: $4.99
These purple-skinned beauties are a fall favorite for many. Also called Japanese sweet potatoes or Korean yams, they're sweeter and fluffier than your average sweet potato, with a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with savory dishes.
Roast, mash, or air-fry until crispy, and enjoy with a drizzle of maple syrup. However you prepare them, they're delicious and nutritious.
Creamy Corn
Price: $3.99
Trader Joe's is known for creative frozen food, and this new one's a hit. Creamy Corn is an upgrade of the canned cream corn that many of us loved as kids. It's simple: sweet corn in a rich cheese-butter-shallot sauce that tastes homemade but takes minutes to heat up.
Serve it with a holiday roast, or zap it in the microwave and eat it straight from the bowl. No judgment.
Teeny Tiny Maple Butter Tarts
Price: $4.49
These Canadian-inspired tarts are deliciously rich and filled with buttery maple goodness. Sugar, butter, and eggs (and maple syrup, of course) create a caramel-y filling that's tucked into a flaky, bite-sized pastry shell. They're seriously snackable and just fancy enough for a holiday dessert tray.
Pop them in the oven, air fryer, or toaster oven for a few minutes, then enjoy.
Organic Cranberries
Price: $3.29
These plump little berries aren't just for sauce. Trader Joe's Organic Cranberries are harvested at peak tartness, and they're great for baking, cooking, or tossing into salads. Plus, they're loaded with vitamin C, B vitamins, and antioxidants, so they not only taste good, they're good for you. Stock up for the season.
You'll want them on hand for stuffing, cookies, oatmeal, and maybe a DIY cranberry-orange relish.
Butternut Squash Risotto
Price: $4.49
Butternut squash defines fall as much as sweet potatoes do, and this creamy risotto is the definition of comfort food. Made with Carnaroli rice, butternut squash puree, onion, white wine, and a touch of Parmesan, it's got that slow-cooked taste, minus all the stirring.
Keep it on hand for lazy weeknights or as a quick side with Thanksgiving leftovers.
Salted Maple Cold Foam Creamer
Price: $4.49
If you love cold foam, you'll adore this new seasonal creamer that brings café vibes right to your kitchen. With sweet maple and a pinch of sea salt — salt and sweet are cousins, after all — it's designed to froth beautifully.
Enjoy it with iced coffee and even matcha or Earl Grey. Or just stir it into hot coffee. It's a sweet-and-savory treat, perfect for November mornings.
Vanilla Bean Whipped Sweet Potatoes
Price: $5.99
Sea salt and nutmeg, brown sugar, and heavy cream team up to create what can only be called a dessert in disguise. Whipped into fluffy clouds, these sweet potatoes are smooth, slightly sweet, and infused with real vanilla bean. They're rich without being too much.
Serve instead of pie, if you like, or brighten up an ordinary mid-week meal.

Nantucket Style Cranberry Pie
Price: $6.99
Tart cranberries, a buttery crust, and just a little bit sweet, every bite is a holiday. This "pie" is actually neither pie, nor cake, nor cobbler, but the best of all three, with a rustic, homemade vibe and zero baking required.
Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, and pretend you spent hours in the kitchen. We won't tell.
Thai Style Red Curry Soup
Price: $4.99
At some point, you might need a break from all the pumpkin spice and maple deliciousness going around. Try this savory, coconut-creamy curry soup. It's loaded with vegetables and chunks of white-meat chicken saturated in red curry flavor, perfect on a chilly night.
Keep a couple in the fridge to heat and eat — no takeout required. It's the ultimate shortcut to Thai comfort food.
Pumpkin & Spice Brioche Style Liège Waffles
Price: $4.49
These waffles are not the usual waffles you find in your grocery store's freezer. These are fresh and more like a rich, buttery, eggy French bread swirled with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
Heat one up for breakfast and enjoy with coffee, or toss one in your backpack or purse to keep you going on a busy day. Or warm them later and serve with ice cream.
Cinnamon Buns
Price: $5.99
These pillowy cinnamon buns are ready to bake, so all you have to do is pop them in the oven and wait for the sweet, buttery aroma to fill your kitchen.
With the rich cinnamon filling and creamy icing drizzled on top, they're dangerously delicious but perfect for lazy weekends or surprise guests.
Maple Espresso Black Tea Blend
Price: $2.99
Tea blended with espresso might seem like an unusual combination, especially if you're a staunch either-or tea or coffee drinker. But if fall had a signature brew, this would be it. Bold black tea is infused with maple syrup and just enough rich espresso to perk up your morning.
Enjoy it hot with a splash of milk or non-dairy creamer, or sip it iced for a tea-meets-coffee treat.
Gluten Free Cranberry Raisin Toasts
Price: $4.99
Finally, Trader Joe's has added gluten-free crisps to their already excellent cracker collection. These are crispy, chewy, and dotted with sweet-tart cranberries and raisins. Made with rice, tapioca, and potato flour, along with egg whites and buttermilk, it's the rosemary and pumpkin seeds that add the rich flavor.
Try them with goat cheese, a bit of nut butter, or straight out of the bag for a crunchy snack.
Bottom line
Trader Joe's is quietly bucking grocery store trends, helping you stretch your grocery budget even more. While food prices have skyrocketed in the last few years, some TJ's staples haven't budged (like their 99-cent capellini — seriously). Their low-overhead model and private label strategy keep costs down without skimping on quality.
So if you're a fan of affordable luxuries like maple tarts and creamy corn, this month's lineup is full of wallet-friendly surprises and no membership card required.
