It’s official: pumpkin season is here. And Trader Joe’s is here to usher in the coziest season of the year. Unlike the PSL, Trader Joe’s pumpkin items don’t stay on shelves from late August through January. These goods are hyper-seasonal, and when they’re gone, we have to say goodbye until next fall.
