19 Trader Joe's 2026 Savory Fall Finds

It's always relaxing to take a stroll through Trader Joe's, but there's something extra special about walking through the grocery store when crunchy leaves are falling outside. Many of us (myself included) hit up Trader Joe's for its sweet fall desserts (pro tip: if you haven't snagged a bag of maple brown butter almonds yet, be sure to pick up a few before they're gone). While there are certainly plenty of delightfully sweet autumn-themed finds, you don't want to overlook the savory options. 

We took some time to pore over these saltier seasonal offerings this fall, and we were pretty impressed with what we found. From pumpkin gnocchi to cranberry jalapeño chicken meatballs, you'll be sprinting through the parking lot to get home and try the snacks you picked up at Trader Joe's. While sweet items might get a lot of attention, be sure to throw some of these delicious finds into your cart to warm you to the bone as the air outside starts to get a little chilly. 

While pumpkin, apples, and butternut squash probably aren't the first ingredients you think of when you hear the word salsa, they work well together in this fall-themed Trader Joe's version of the spicy stuff. On Reddit, Trader Joe's customers say that it's a little sweet, a little spicy, and awesome with shredded chicken.
