TRADER JOE'S ITEMS YOU MUST TRY IN 2023 🤯 

I know you are interested in floral arranging. A pro tip I share with beginners is to remove the "guard petals" of roses. These are the outer petals of the rose (they are often discolored and stiffer than the rest, hence the "guarding" quality.) Once removed, they transform the look of the rose into a more delicate bloom. The rose will open beautifully. Another pro tip I share is when you buy any form of a carnation, if you pluck out the center of the carnation variety it will give the flower a looser, whimsy look - more antique. It almost gives it a rose-type of look. I should start a channel! I'm too busy as a teacher and mom! =)

Lauren, I see all these comments about “why haven’t you been posting?!?” & while I am an OG fan & always happy to see a video, I understand that it is a job n top of your job and most importantly your family & all that comes with it. Sometimes LIFE happens. Never feel bad when you have to take time away from social media (entertainment). 💖

I only buy flowers from Trader Joe’s. They do have beautiful and exotic flowers 💐plus amazing prices

The spinach artichoke dip is sooo good as a pasta sauce, prepared in the same way as the viral feta tomato bake!

Agreed on their florals! Fave place to grab a pretty plant for visiting friends, and for holidays.

Lauren, I have missed you for so many days without any notifications 💞 so I was so happy to see this video! This video was so fun because I also love to cook, also having four son's is a ton of cooking! And I love 💖 cooking for my husband, his Mom was never into cooking so I like to spoil him!

Put some lemon juice into your flowers and I had them for 20 days every 4 days cut the ends off and put them in clean water with fresh lemons juice.

Trader Joe’s really does have the best florals! I think I spent around $75 for my friend’s baby shower last August and we made sooooo many arrangements! The flowers lasted for about 2-3 weeks after the shower!

Lauren. Your decor is so beautiful. Your home looks so lovely. Thank you for sharing you beautiful home with us. Everything looks so nice.

Lauren, I also LOVE grocery shopping, then getting home and restocking everything. When I see everything full it makes me feel a deep sense of gratitude, abundance and peace because I am now able to feed my family ❤ I loved how you finished the video doing that beautiful vase of roses! 🌹😍 I love your organizing too!

Those fig & olive crackers are the best! One of my absolute favorites. I wish I had a Trader Joe's close to where I live, I have to travel some distance for that, but totally worth it.

Good to see you, I needed my Lauren Nicholson fix!😅 Your TJ Haul included many of my favorites and a few I'm looking forward to trying! Thanks for the tip on the cookbook. I didn't realize they had one, but I remember when they used to make things in the store and give you samples and recipes, I wish they still did that!

I love Trader Joes, you can find so many good foods, etc. And flowers. Enjoyed shopping with you. Have a blessed weekend.

Enjoyed shopping at Trader Joes with you! I wish we lived near one. Love the floral arrangement! 😊❤😊🌷🌹🌷

Thank you Lauren great haul. I wish we had Trader Joe's in the UK. 🇬🇧👏Love from Rosie O from Devon x

Hi Lauren, Loving this video shopping, organizing and restocking the pantry. These video r always sooo satisfying to me,there is something calming and soothing about being organized since our lives r soo crazy. Keep them coming. 💕💕 the nails so pretty against ur skin color.

I did find flowers at Trader Joe's, had no clue they were so pretty and cheap! They have unique things for sure....😇

Great haul! Some items I’ve either haven’t seen or tried. Can’t wait. Thank you Lauren🤩 BTW, getting book😉

Love what you got at Trader Joe’s,my Husband and I buy a lot of Organic Vegetables, Fruit, Grass Fed Beef. We try and eat Clean ingredients

Wow, sweetheart Lauren, what a beautiful haul, thanks for sharing. I enjoy shopping at Trader Joe’s too. Have a nice Spring. 🙏😘❤️🌟☘️🌷👍👏🌺✝️🥰

I noticed that you passed up the truffle ketchup... meatloaf recipes with ketchup on the top I normally don't care for, but it's completely transformed with Trader Joe's truffle ketchup! It's incredible! And I can also hide tons of healthy vegetables in my meatloaf for the kids lol. And cold meatloaf sandwiches with lettuce, Mayo, and a slice of tomato on some toasted bread are pretty outstanding leftovers, so are patty melts!

I’d love to see some recipes using TJ’s stuff! I don’t get there as often as I’d like but when I do I never what to get!

Wow! What a haul! I LOVE Trader Joe’s❤️

Loved shopping with you! This was a great video 😊

Oh wow you are picking out all the goods!!!👍👍👍

I was so happy to see this video. Hope you enjoyed your vacation. Welcome back!

Love TJ and your right they do have beautiful florals.😊

So glad to see your haul..but more than that..just to see you!! been missing your videos!! Take care!

Hello Lauren. What a haul. Thanks for sharing. Everything looks absolutely delicious. I do believe my favorite is all that salami and fresh cheese - and of course those baby tomatoes and that minced garlic. Thanks so much for your recommendations as to how to restock the pantry. 😊👍

Gosh I wish we had Trader Joe’s in Australia! 🇦🇺 This all looks so cool and different to anything we can get here. Love your videos Lauren 💕

Loved this video. Thanks Lauren!

There you are little mama I was looking all over RU-vid for you I guess you needed a break and that's what everybody needs thanks for sharing your haul video good seeing you again

Everything looks so good

Love Trader Joe’s,so many goodies.. so true about removing those leaves from floral arrangement. Watched a video recently where a few copper pennies and a shot of vodka added to the water makes the florals in your arrangement last longer.. I haven’t tried it yet,have you ever heard? Thanks for sharing your haul… ❤

Oooh nice haul!

Glad to see the post. I thought you forgot abouy us since it was almost 2 weeks!

Good morning have a wonderful Saturday

We’ve missed you Lauren. I love TJ.

The roses are beautiful ❤

😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤ yummy. Love me some Trader Joe's items. I saw that cookbook couple years ago I was following her on IG and then I stopped following her for a while. OMG loving the shredded cheese blend I've never tried it I've got to buy for a quesadilla... 😊😮the Italian mix too.. OMG yessssss

Wow, beautiful haul. I agree, Trader Joe's has the best flowers! 💐 Friendly reminder: Bruschetta is pronounced "bru-ske-ta".

yes i love my cast iron!

Eucaliptos!! To put in your shower area, restroom it does work!!

Great video Lauren. Nice to see you buying Kerrygold butter made in Ireland!!!! Love your nails by the way. Very classy colour. X

Welcome back Lauren!!! Where were you girl? Mexico 🇲🇽?

T.j. green goddess seasoning is outstanding

You got me hooked on the oatmeal brown sugar creamer…..not high calorie too….cheers from California 😎

I have to agree with the others where have you been? I seen something on Instagram about a live and waited here for the live. Sorry but I am one of your more mature followers i.e ancient lol, and don't understand all those app thingymajigs :) - Welcome back and loved the content (as always)

Can you link or direct me to where you purchased the spice racks used in the kitchen drawers? I think that is the neatest idea.

We don't have a trader Joe's around us 😢 otherwise I would want to shop there!!! The food from there looks amazing!!!

do you have a link for your containers?

Your nails look great.😊

Lauren!!!! Where have you been? Miss your videos!!

Nice $1000 haul!

Only having enough miles of in which I traveled in my time there is one food place of that which I have had visited and I might ad it is not here in the states. It is in Harrods food court in great bittian. And it is very much to my likings ang I receive cart Blanc that is due to my position in life but then again I am very satisfied and more than content with Joe's here in states and to I now reside from time to time in the USA .,.......

I love this type of video please make more ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I wish you were my neighbor!😊❤🎉

🌞

I love that length of nails you are wearing now.!

Lauren hai comprato cibo italiano😊r anche del buon vino🍷😋👍🙋‍♀️😘

Is anyone else dying to know how much this Trader Joe's haul cost? Under or Over $500?

❤Ana

Hello 🎉

Never been to trader joe. Don't habe one around my area

🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Please come to my house and organize for me 😊😅

Trader Joe's is exspensive ....I like real food....

I received a reply to a comment I posted claiming to be from Lauren that I'd won a competition. I see a lot of commenters have received the same message. I'm sure this is a SCAM so please just delete. I'm sure Lauren will have something to say about it when she next uploads a video. X

It’s so funny because all the Italian stuff you buy from trader joes is just ordinary food in Switzerland. Available in every regular supermarket. As for bruschetta…processed paste is gross…make your own like the Italians do. Red pesto just goes on pasta…it’s a red pepper paste, not a sauce. Home made tzatziki is also nicer than pre fabricated. In Switzerland there’s no such thing as ‘Swiss cheese’. It’s just cheese. And there are so many types of cheese I can’t even imagine what sort of cheese is sold to Americans as Swiss cheese.
