This is five ounces of popcorn with a candy coating on it, while the candy bar is 2 ounces. If you’ve never tried that candy bar, then let me get you up to speed.

Trader Joe’s Creamy Roasted Cauliflower and Onion Dip

An opened Trader Joe's Creamy Roasted Cauliflower and Onion Dip next to its frozen contents

The pros:  Trader Joe’s Creamy Roasted Cauliflower and Onion Dip is a new and delicious dip found in the freezer section of Trader Joe’s.

The cons: This item is labeled HOL on my receipt which usually indicates it is a seasonal item. Unfortunately, I strongly disagree with this being seasonal. This would make an awesome addition to Trader Joe’s Spinach and Artichoke Dip that is available year round. I also disagree with there being 8 servings. I believe this to be closer to 2-3 servings at most.

Trader Joe's May 2017 Fearless Flyer Matchups

Trader Joe’s May 2017 Fearless Flyer Matchups Are Here!

Prior to starting this blog, I was and still am an avid couponer. I looked forward to opening my email and reading the latest coupon and sale matchups from The Krazy Coupon Lady. Sadly, Trader Joe’s has never offered coupons as everything is (relatively) reasonably priced. However, in the spirit of providing consumer information, I’ll post the matchups to the Fearless Flyer with my reviews.

Now, I’m not copying the entire list as I’m only including the items I’ve reviewed so far. In fact, the newest Fearless Flyer was posted on Trader Joe’s website on May 1st which you can see here. While I can’t say I have reviewed everything listed in the flyer, here are the products that I do have a review for. I’ll add more to the list and start a match up the next time the flyer comes out.

Happy shopping! There are some real gems in this month, especially in the frozen food section, see the bottom for my top 5. So here are my Trader Joe’s May 2017 Fearless Flyer Matchups:…

The pros:  Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Powerberries are a pretty tasty snack and are similar, but not identical to Brookside’s Dark Chocolate Fruit Flavored Centers.

Trader Joe’s Seasoned Kale Chips

6 · Mar 27, 2017 · Updated October 29, 2018 · 1 Comment

Trader Joe's Seasoned Kale Chips

There are currently two varieties of Kale Chips available: Trader Joe’s Seasoned Kale Chips and Trader Joe’s Nacho Kale Chips. Which should you buy? I preferred the Nacho, but these weren’t bad as an alternative. They were salty, crisp and nutritionally a bit better than potato chips.

The pros:  Trader Joe’s Seasoned Kale Chips are tasty and come in a resealable bag. You’ll want some portion control with this product.

The cons:  These cost almost $32 per pound which makes them expensive. They have about as many calories as a bag of potato chips.

The verdict:  …
