Welcome to another edition of the Fearless Flyer roundup where I pair reviews from this blog and around the web to the items featured in this month's flyer. While it is still September, this is the flyer for October.
If you want the actual Fearless Flyer, it is posted on Trader Joe's Website. Just keep in mind, they don't archive it from month to month. At the bottom of this post you can find the matchups of past months that I've posted.
So, if there is an image next to the item featured, that will bring you to a review on this blog. If it is just a link, then it is someone else who took the time to review those items. There will be a few "coming soon" items as some of the items are literally hitting the shelves as the flyer is released. And yes, some I only saw a day or two before this landed.
Happy shopping as this is technically the October Flyer. There are only two more Flyers left, one is the Thanksgiving Pilgrimager (landing on November 5th) and the other is the Holiday Guide (landing on November 26th). Where did 2018 go?
Don't forget to let me know which items you are excited to see back or try this month!

So many new items! My store was having a stocking problem when i went and was out of a ton of stuff, new and old. I can’t wait to try the horseradish aioli! I love horseradish and bet that’s great on roasted veggies or sandwiches.
And don’t bother with the curry salad kit, that was a total clunker

Hey Ttrockwood! I know, usually they come out a week or two in advance, this year they were released pretty close to the fearless flyer. Thanks for the heads up with the curry salad kid. I wasn't too sure on that one. Yes, I got the horseradish aioli. I got a chance to photograph the items I picked up, writing the reviews is still a few days off for right now. Thanks so much for the feedback!
