It probably won’t be goodbye for forever, but it is ciao for now. 

We thank every one of you for tuning in each Monday and celebrating the best grocery store that ever existed with us. It’s been in incredible ride, and we’re honored you were a part of it. 

But we’re not done just yet! Another thank you to everyone who suggested some final items for us to try over the next few weeks. We’re kicking off this sunset tour with some sweet treats and one of the biggest surprises in Trader Hoes history. Not on the menu, but certainly on our minds: Katie’s diagnosis from a college professor, Paul Hollywood’s judgment, and eating a hug (that apparently has a creepy child voice.) 

Bonus: Take a shot every time Katie describes something as “elevated.”  

🛒 In the cart:

  • Speculoos Crunchy Cookie Butter Spread
  • Sesame Honey Almonds

It’s the first time Trader Joe’s virgin, Zack McCarty, sets foot inside a store. It’s the first time the Hoes record on location. And it’s the first time an episode resembles MTV’s The Real World. Things get salty and sweet, the Hoes imagine several innovative concepts (brosé and pumpkin spice vibrators, to name a few), and they wonder if Katie really did have a childhood. 

In the cart: 

  • Maison Barboulot Cabernet-Syrah 
  • Unexpected Cheddar 
  • Raisin and Rosemary Crisps
  • Balela 
  • Chili and Lime Flavored Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips 
  • Mini Chicken Tikka Samosas 
  • Pumpkin Ice Cream 
  • Popcorn in a Pickle
