Thanksgiving Stuffing Seasoned Kettle Chips, $2.99

Turkey-trot yourself to TJ’s for these as fast as you can. They're perfectly seasoned with the classic stuffing flavors.

Maple Espresso Black Tea, $2.99

This tea provides a delicate sweetness from the maple with a mellow jolt of caffeine from the espresso. I love it hot with steamed milk.

They’re reminiscent of Funyuns mixed with a light sprinkle of a Top Ramen chicken seasoning packet.

Di Bari Black & Orange Pappardelle, $3.49

Made in Italy by Di Bari, these wide pappardelle noodles are ideal for serving with a Bolognese-style ragu.

Rough & Ready Cab Franc vs. Cab Sauv, $8.99 

Blended together, this combo of cabernet grapes reminded me of toasty baking spices, plum jam, and a bit of rose tea.
