Trader Joe's Debuts Five November Products, From Spicy Pork Kimbap to a $1.99 Cookie

Trader Joe's released five new products for November, all priced under $5, ranging from $1.99 to $4.99, according to Yahoo. The items include Spicy Pork Kimbap, a Chicken & Chickpea Tikka Burrito, Tres Leches Cheese, a Singular Chocolate Chip Cookie and Just Like Your Grandma's Stuffing Chicken Sausage.

What Trader Joe's Put On Shelves

Spicy Pork Kimbap costs $4.99 and is a spicier version of a Trader Joe's product that sold out immediately when it debuted in 2023. The Korean staple features pork and gochujang rolled with carrot, spinach and pickled radish in white rice, wrapped in seaweed, and is sold as a grab-and-go freezer item.

The Chicken & Chickpea Tikka Burrito, also $4.99, is inspired by the Kolkata kati roll and uses a tortilla instead of the traditional roti. It is filled with diced chicken breast and chickpeas cooked in heavy cream with caramelized onions, jalapeño peppers, and curry and masala spices.

Tres Leches Cheese, priced at $4.99, takes its name from the cow's, sheep's and goat's milk used to make it and is produced with traditional Spanish cheesemaking methods. The Singular Chocolate Chip Cookie costs $1.99 and weighs 3.5 ounces, with milk and semisweet chocolate chips.

Just Like Your Grandma's Stuffing Chicken Sausage costs $4.99 for 12 heat-and-eat sausages flavored with carrots, celery, caramelized onions, sage, thyme and rosemary. The pre-cooked sausages heat in a few minutes in the microwave or on the stovetop.
