Trader Hoes

This week, the Hoes thought that they found one of TJ’s best-kept secrets in the refrigerated smoothies. But some secrets should never be told. They’re also blending in Evie’s new rap name, Katie’s fear of jacked-up babies, and the love story between bananas and nuts. In the cart: Organic Coconut SmoothieBanana & Almond Butter Protein SmoothieVanilla Almond Spiced Chai Protein SmoothieChocolate Almond Protein Smoothie

Can you believe i?, The Hoes are cooking! Ok technically, they’re just warming up frozen pizzas but the bar is extremely low these Hoes and apparently even lower for some of these Trader Joes pies.

This week, the Hoes are shaking this up with a few of Trader Joe's newer pre-made pasta salads. After removing the sauce packets from the tiny plastic containers, they also fit in the concept for a new crime-fighting pasta show for kids, why Katie could never commit a crime, and the Cucumber Wetness Spectrum.In the cart: Lemon Basil Pasta SaladChickpea Kale And Crispy Red Rice SaladPeanut Udon Noodle SaladKorean Style Bibim-Guksu

It was 91 degrees in February and the Hoes are coping with some new frozen favorites from Trader Joe’s. If you love instant affagato, pistachio having its moment, super-sized macrons, and unpacking Katie’s pigeon trauma, then you’re in for a treat, Hoes.

This week, the Hoes are asking an age-old question: Is this a cake you can eat in your car? Not even childhood trauma is going to keep them from getting an answer as Katie and Evie try Trader Joe's mini sheet cakes for the first time. They're also mixing in getting cookie samples from Jeff(?), eating cake as an act of rebellion, and casting these cakes as bakers on the Great British Bake Off.

The Hoes are hitting up the snack aisle and finding their new stripper names in the process. From curried potato chips to yeasty popcorn, it's a full-flavored episode that'll have you pondering deep thoughts like, "Do I look like my dog?" and "How do you pronounce 'Piquant?"In the cart:Sweet Onion Style Pretzel TwistsThai Style Yellow Curry Flavored Potato ChipsHot Honey PopcornPiquant Popcorn

This week, the Hoes fight through some technical issues to dip into the deep end of Trader Joe's dips. Katie and Evie also scoop up garlic blindness, a severe lack of poker face, and their new pitch for an HGTV show, Dippin' and Flippin'.

Happy Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day to all who celebrate! The Hoes are back with some sweet favorites and some new discoveries. Will they be love at first bite or taste like bitter disappointment?

The Hoes are back with some bubbly biome boosting sodas. Will they even learn the difference pre and probiotic? Who can say! But one thing's for sure, Trader Joe's is jumping on that gut health train. They also crack into Coke's medicinal past, spitting in the ocean, and our dream sponsor, Metamucil.In the cart:Strawberry Vanilla Prebiotic SodaCherry Cola Prebiotic SodaGinger Lemon Probiotic Sparkling Beverage

Rounding out the return of the Hoes, Katie and Evie share Part 3 of the items they've been dying to review over the last 3 years!

The Hoes are back, babyyyyyy! Katie Bravo and Evie Bickes dust off the mics (literally) to share the items they wish they could have discussed over the past three years.

Well, Hoes, here we are. The final-ish episode of Trader Hoes. But before we embark on our bye-atus, we took a stumble down memory lane, aided by a few drinks recommended by you and a possible Penis Truck sighting.Thank you, Hoes, for the recommendations, the messages, the support, and just for sticking with us through the years. We couldn’t have done any of this without you. Until next time, #BBPP365.  🛒 In the cart: Añejo Tequila Laurent Reverdy Sancerre Support the show

This week, we’re leaving it all on the table, including grandma. We tackle our InstaHoes’ savory suggestions, repay them by completely butchering their names, and walk away with a few new favorites. Not on the menu but certainly on our minds: Shrinky Dinks, a Trader Joe’s and Jack in the Box mashup, noods, and Katie’s love of uncooked rolled oats. 🛒 In the cart: Cheeseburger burrito  Cascatelli Pasta Italian Style Meatballs Rosemary Croissant Coutons Bulgogi Beef Fried Rice with Kimchi Support the show

It is with heavy hearts and full carts that we announce the end of Trader Hoes will be coming at the end of this month. It probably won’t be goodbye for forever, but it is ciao for now. We thank every one of you for tuning in each Monday and celebrating the best grocery store that ever existed with us. It’s been in incredible ride, and we’re honored you were a part of it. But we’re not done just yet! Another thank you to everyone who suggested some final items for us to try over the next few weeks. We’re kicking off this sunset tour with some sweet treats and one of the biggest surprises in Trader Hoes history. Not on the menu, but certainly on our minds: Katie’s diagnosis from a college professor, Paul Hollywood’s judgment, and eating a hug (that apparently has a creepy child voice.) Bonus: Take a shot every time Katie describes something as “elevated.”  🛒 In the cart: Chocolatey Cats Cookies For PeopleSpeculoos Crunchy Cookie Butter SpreadSesame Honey AlmondsChocolate Hold the Dairy Mini Coconut Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert ConesChocolate and Almond Croissants Support the show

Get your bifocals ready, Hoes. We're about to read our favorite but flawed grocery store like never before. While we may not be at RuPaul's Drag Race level, we do dig into everything from recalls to copywriting to commitment-phobia. Because after all, we've spent years supporting Trader Joe's, so a little tough love is in order.  Support the show

Trader Joes's is bringing the heat and these Hoes are here for it. From a savory salsa to buffalo style almonds, Katie and Evie explore TJ's newest spicy items.
