Two Hoes dishing out weekly reviews of Trader Joe's products. New episodes every Monday!
This week, the Hoes are prepping for the upcoming Bad Bunny concert, surrounded by sports, with some game day faves. They're pairing these snacks with getting roasted by AI, some humbling pronunciations, and accepting their true selves as Crab Rangoon Girls.
In the cart:
• Mac and Cheese Bites
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 Soda
Cherry Cola Prebiotic Soda
Ginger 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! Also on the table are Katie's questionable cottage cheese choices, Evie's dip obsession, and the need for Everything But The Bagel bath bombs.
In the cart:
Ranch Cottage Cheese Dip
Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread
Apple Chip Duo
Sweet Cannoli Dip
The Hoes are back with Part 2 of the items they've been dying to review over the last 3 years! Also up for discussion are Evie's lifelong love of ranch, Katie leaning into her bitter old hag era, and the iconic millennial franchise that was CPK. (RIP)
In the cart:
Chicken Mole
Beef Birria
BBQ & Black Pepper Toscano Chopped Salad
Ranch Seasoned Cashews
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. Plus, Evie's hot takes, Katie's lack of Hot Pocket experience, and an overwhelming awkwardness in front of a camera.
The Goods:
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.

It's our second to last episode, which means there's just enough time to squeeze in a special guest appearance from the Trader Bros (aka our partners)! It's a Hot Ones inspired showcase of Trader Joe's spicy sauces so get ready feel the (heart)burn.
In the cart:
Incredisauce
Tamarind Sauce
Green Dragon Hot Sauce
Peri Peri Sauce
Chili Pepper Sauce
Jalapeño Hot Sauce
Habañero Hot Sauce
Not in the cart, but worth considering:

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.

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.”

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.
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. Not on the menu but certainly on their minds: extreme squeams, saguaro cacti, and is buffalo having a moment?
In the cart:
Buffalo Style Seasoned Almonds
Guajillo Salsa
Cinna-Dragons
