Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix
Average Price: $1.99*
Verdict: Skip It
Every fall, when Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix hits the shelves, pumpkin connoisseurs rush to the store in large numbers. Lovers of the product say it is an excellent all-purpose ingredient that can be used to make everything from cakes to pancakes and anything in between. Regular customers of Trader Joe’s are such great fans of this holiday delicacy that they frequently stock up on enough of the mixture to last them throughout the entire year. Online blogs even contain recipes that call for the mix as a starting point, with more and more complicated pumpkin-spiced confections built on top of it as the process progresses. When it comes to holiday shopping, it’s a seasonal must-have that can’t be ignored — or can it? Walmart sells a nearly identical Great Value version for just $1.67, so Trader Joe’s comes out on the short end of the stick with this one. As a result, Walmart’s offering has received overwhelmingly good feedback, and it is evident which one is the superior product.

Verdict: Buy It
In addition to corporate meetings and dinner parties, hummus is a delicious appetizer for any occasion. Having said that, everyone has a different idea of what works in the dip and what doesn’t work for them. A true garlic connoisseur’s delight, Trader Joe’s Roasted Garlic Hummus is a must-have in any kitchen. A tremendous resurgence of this ancient Middle Eastern staple is underway, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. In addition to serving as an appetizer with chips or crudites, the creamy, savory dip can be spread on practically any sandwich to give it an extra taste boost. Considering that it costs only $2.29, it won’t break the bank but it will make everyone in the family happy. It’s well worth the money – just make sure to brush your teeth afterward unless you’re trying to keep the vampires away from your home. Unless, of course, you want to sleep on the couch all night.
