Sandal season is still continuing in Arizona, but how are you all doing in Japan?
It’s been cooler in Arizona these past few days, but it looks like it’s going to get hot again…
Autumn is still a long way off.
It seems like it gets hot every year around Halloween…
To get into the autumn mood, I bought some candles at Bath & Body Works on a day when they had a 25% off coupon and a 3 wick candle for $12.95.
I still have some candles from my last purchase, so just two 🕯🕯
With 25% off, I was able to get one candle for just over $10 👏

A lot of pumpkin-related items are sold in Europe and the US at this time of year, and Starbucks has also brought back pumpkin spice since late August 🎃
It’s still hot, so ice cream please ❤︎
I don’t really like pumpkin itself, but I do like pumpkin spice drinks.
Trader Joe’s also has a lot of fall products lined up 🍂
There are a lot of pumpkin related products on sale, such as pasta and chips, but I’m not interested in them at all.
But I decided to buy this one.
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate ($8.99 / 32 fl oz) and Pumpkin Pie Spice ($2.99)
I always buy concentrated cold brew (946ml / $8.99) from Trader Joe’s…
This cold brew tastes best when mixed with 2 parts milk for every 1 part of concentrate.
It’s good value for money, so I buy it every time.

I passed it by at first, but ended up buying it.
It’s made from 100% Arabica beans, infused in water for up to 24 hours.
According to online…
Featuring a classic pumpkin spice blend with fruity notes, cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg.
By adding a little orange peel to the base brew, the result is a coffee that’s bursting with pumpkin spice flavor.
Plus, Pumpkin Pie Spice ($2.99/1.8 oz)↓
Trader Joe’s spices are reasonably priced and make you want to collect them all.
Please see my previous blog about Trader Joe’s Spices here:

Trader Joe’s new pumpkin pie spice is a blend of cinnamon, ginger, citrus, nutmeg, cloves, and a dash of black pepper.
Besides coffee, like me, you can also use it to make pumpkin pie, pancakes and waffles👍
I wish the holes in this kind of powder were a little smaller…
When I opened the cold brew package and smelled it, it didn’t taste like pumpkin spice, so I was like, “Huh??”
I tried adding milk and drinking it…
The pumpkin spice flavor is strong and delicious 🎃
The pumpkin spice drink you get at a cafe is sweet with syrup, but this cold brew is unsweetened so it’s not cloyingly sweet.
On this day, I didn’t have any autumnal creamer, so I used some lavender-flavored almond creamer that I had in the fridge.
A lavender-flavored almond creamer ($6.49 / 750ml) from the famous American brand CALIFIA Farm.
As I wrote on my blog before, this creamer is delicious ❤︎
“I’m addicted to lavender creamer 🪻” →★
I thought it was a limited edition, but it’s still on sale so maybe it’s a standard item?
I also use it for black tea and herbal tea.
It was hot this time, so I had it with ice cream.
I thought the lavender and pumpkin flavors would clash, but it had a strong pumpkin spice flavor and was delicious!
When it gets a little colder, it would be good to have it hot.
I think I’ll look for some fall creamer as well.
It was so delicious that I decided to buy some more cold brew, so I went back to Trader Joe’s the next day…
Gaaah💔
I went to the usual cold brew section and they had absolutely no stock!
And then!
There was still some stock in the pumpkin section so I bought two more.
This is a limited edition item.
I later purchased two more.
After!
I bought this last year: Honey Hydration Day & Night Cream Duo ($7.99).
As the name suggests, this product is a face cream that contains both a day cream and a night cream.
This product has also been restocked.

I wonder if it was because I used this night cream or by coincidence? I ended up with some bumps on my face (probably because I stayed up late), so I’m traumatized. I didn’t buy it this time, but I’m thinking about buying it again if they have it in stock the next time I go.
One more thing.
Although it’s not an autumn item, my husband and I have recently become addicted to Trader Joe’s snacks.
World’s Puffiest Sour Cream & Onion Corn Puffs（$2.49 /7 oz）
Corn puffs with sour cream and onion.
When it comes to American puff snacks, many of them are cheese flavored.
I bought the sour cream and onion flavor because I thought it would be delicious.
What surprised me most was the quantity.
Our family’s favorite, our toy poodle ShellieMay (1500g), stretches her legs, but the snacks are still bigger than hers lol↓
Once you try it, you won’t be able to stop!
What’s more, the puff contains 198g, so it’s a large amount and it takes a long time to run out.
Even if my husband and I eat our fill, it lasts for four days lol.
It’s a great snack that’s great value for money and tastes great.
My husband said, “I like that these puffs don’t stick to my teeth,” and I thought that was true!
Regular corn puffs like this tend to stick to your teeth.
This puff is ok👍
Well, I’m sure many people living in the US were thrown into disarray this week by the resale of Trader Joe’s mini tote bags.
Please see the previous blog for more details on the previous sale here.
“I didn’t intend to buy this Trader Joe’s mini tote bag” →★
I wasn’t planning on buying it last time, but I happened to find it on sale a few days after it was released, so I bought four.
So, I didn’t intend to buy this resale either, so I didn’t go to the store on the day… (Because even if I bought it as a souvenir in Japan, not many people know about Trader Joe’s lol)
The next day, around 8pm, I went out for some normal shopping…
Although there were only a few, they were on sale.
Everyone was complaining on social media about whether it was on sale or not, so I ended up buying two navy ones, one yellow, and one red lol
I really didn’t intend to buy it
At the Trader Joe’s I went to, there seemed to be no limit on the number of items you could purchase.
So that’s it!
I’ve introduced you to Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew and Pumpkin Spice Powder, which I’m addicted to at Trader Joe’s!
Another great thing about this product is that you can adjust the amount of sugar or sweetened depending on your mood!
I’m so addicted to this that I drink it every morning and night.
Both are limited edition products, so if you’re in the US and haven’t tried them yet, be sure to check them out!
