The Trader Joe’s Holiday Products Every Busy Woman Needs

Whether you’re hosting Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving or you’re merely taking part, the holidays can be tough for us busy women. One minute, you’re minding your own business frantically trying to get your work and the kids’ schoolwork totally wrapped up leading up to the four-day weekend, and then — bam! — Thanksgiving smacks you in the face.

Suddenly, you’ve found yourself frantically tossing together some sort of side dish or appetizer you promised you’d make for the gathering. Or even worse, you realized you have close to zero time to prepare an entire feast.

Trader Joe’s gets it. They always do. And this Thanksgiving is no different.

With one glance at this year’s Fearless Flyer for November, you’ll spot literally everything you need to quickly whip up an expensive-tasting Thanksgiving meal. Not only does Trader Joe’s have what you need for an elevated meal (sweet mashed potatoes, anyone?), but they also have meatless alternatives, including a turkey-less stuffed breast. And if you’ve been on a steady cauliflower-substitute kick, Trader Joe’s has the stuffing perfect for you.
