Pumpkin Overnight Oats
Price: $1.99
Overnight oatmeal provides a strange little dichotomy to the world of breakfast foods. Some oatmeal enthusiasts praise these as the height of convenience, while the rest are left baffled as to why introducing an element of eight hours of planning to oatmeal is preferable. Trader Joe's splits the difference and offers pumpkin oatmeal that's ready to eat straight out of the fridge.

This delightful autumn soup is created from a pumpkin purée base with heavy cream and a dollop of honey accented by traditional spices and blended with a hint of tahini to create a full flavor. This is the perfect addition to any soup lover's pantry.
Pumpkin Ice Cream

This super creamy ice cream blended with pumpkin and spices is the perfect autumn treat for days when it feels like summer is hanging on just a little bit longer. Drop a scoop in your coffee instead of creamer for an extra treat in your morning routine.
Bottom line
The best part about Trader Joe's seasonal products is that they focus on actual pumpkins instead of just the traditionally used spices. Their products include pumpkin purée for a richer, authentic fall food experience.
If you're craving variety in your fall flavor palate while still loving the pumpkin spice season, Trader Joe's should be your first stop for shopping — because these products are only available seasonally, and once they're gone, they won't be seen again until next year.
Savvy shoppers already know to check the ingredients on fall-themed foods to make sure the manufacturers haven't replaced key ingredients, such as swapping pumpkin for sweet potatoes in an effort to reduce product costs.
However, there are also smart shopping hacks to save more on groceries that can help pack more pumpkin flavor into your weekly grocery shopping.
