Trader Joe's fans question early fall product rollout
Fans were unhappy to learn that Trader Joe's has already unveiled fall-themed products at some of its stores, despite it still being the middle of summer. Talia Heskett, who goes by Trader Joe's Talia on TikTok , visited stores this week and spotted items that enraged some customers.
She picked out the fall-themed Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix, as well as the Maple Leaf Cookies, which start at $3.99 per box. 'I LOVE fall and Halloween and such but maple and pumpkin stuff in July seems silly. It's just getting to be real tomato and corn season!,' a shopper commented on the video .
'As a teacher, I'm going to need them to put those fall products back in the warehouse,' another customer responded. 'I am so not ready for the Fall products when it's 98 degrees outside,' another commented joked. Another person chimed in: 'People slow down we're not even in August.'
Alongside pointing out the autumnal products, Heskett also showed her followers a variety of other items she was excited to try. The shopping expert admitted to purchasing a $1.99 box of Trader Joe's Fruit Jellies Candy, which is a new product. Coming in peach, cherry, mango and pear flavors, the supermarket chain called it a 'fun' and 'scrumptious' treat created by a UK confectionary expert.
Heskett was also intrigued by Trader Joe's new Orange Mimosa wine cocktail, which gained the attention of TikTokers. Starting at $7.99, Reddit users described the mimosa beverage as a 'delicious' drink that works for 'picnic style situations.' Once Heskett was finished looking at food and drinks, she made her way to the store's plant aisle.
She enjoyed the 'cute little pots' but praised the location's mini calandiva plants, which start at $6.99 at select stores. The video then showed the TikToker making her way to the recently-opened Trader Joe's in Northridge, California . While there, Heskett spotted a couple of new Trader Joe's 'mascots,' which are gray squirrel stuffed animals named Shirley and Jiffy. Trader Joe's is operating around 600 stores while continuing its massive expansion across the US.
However, loyal shoppers were confused recently when they found out a new store would open on 14140 Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks, California . The location is right down the street from another Trader Joe's, and the company plans to keep them both operating. 'Maybe we are living in a simulation, because that seems like a glitch in the matrix,' a TikTok user commented on a video of the two stores last month.
Another user claimed that the original store is one of the busiest in the state, so the retailer is testing the two spots. Another claimed the opening of the new store was delayed, so the chain had to re-sign the lease for the old location.

Scarlett Johansson is used to scare off wolves
American farmers are using the voice of Scarlett Johansson and rock music to scare wolves away from their cattle. Quadcopter drones blaring AC/DC and violent film scenes are being used by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to scare off wolves that have been preying on cattle in Oregon and California. The drones are equipped with thermal cameras that can spot wolves lurking in the darkness and shine a light on them. They also have a loudspeaker that broadcasts alarming noises including the sounds of fireworks, gunshots and people arguing. One recording is of the fight scene between Johansson and Adam Driver in the film Marriage Story. 'I need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad,' Paul Wolf, a USDA district supervisor in Oregon, told The Wall Street Journal. Wolf population has soared in US Mr Wolf has led a government study since 2022 on using drones to frighten away the animals. It is the latest technological innovation in the fight to stop attacks by wolves in America's rural north west. The US wolf population has soared since they were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, in 1995, growing from 300 to around 6,000, excluding Alaska. As a result, attacks on cattle and sheep have shot up, with farmers often unable to harm the predators because of their protected status. Jim and Mary Rickert, who own Prather Ranch in California, have lost as many as 40 calves to wolf attacks over the past year. 'It's basically like driving through Burger King, easy pickings for them,' Mrs Rickert, 73, told the WSJ. Since their deployment, drones have dramatically reduced the number of wolf attacks in Oregon. All-night stakeouts stop attacks In the Klamath Basin, in the southern part of the state, the number of cows killed by wolves fell from 11 over a 20-day period to two over the next 85 days following the drones' introduction. The $20,000 flying vehicles are capable of doing a battery 'hot swap', meaning their power source can be changed without switching the drone off, enabling near continuous surveillance. Mr Wolf and his team travel to ranches in Oregon and California where there have been reports of calves killed by wolves and carry out all-night stakeouts to ward off further attacks. Footage of the team at work shows a screen displaying a wolf illuminated by a spotlight, captured by a night-vision camera on a drone hovering above. 'Hey get out of here! Get!' Mr Wolf's colleague, Colby McAdams, shouted via the microphone on the drone's controller, causing the animal to run off.

I wanted a lowkey wedding so didn't bother with a dress or cake, trolls say a broke uni party would look better
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A COUPLE who opted for a budget-friendly wedding shared the details of their savvy day. However, not everyone was a fan of the scrimping and saving, with some people comparing the occasion to a "broke uni party". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 TikTok user Amie shared an insight into the various ways she and her husband saved on their wedding day Credit: tiktok/@amie_barron In a TikTok video that amassed over 200,000 views, Amie Barron (@amie_barron) broke down the steps she and her groom took to pinch pennies. With the average wedding costing £200,500, the pair made a conscious effort to cut down on various aspects. Amie joked that some of the extreme measures "would put people in a coma". Veering from tradition The bride decided to opt out of the wedding dress tradition, instead choosing a comfy everyday outfit. "We didn't dress up. We wore flannels, jeans, and boots," she said, sharing a picture with her husband from the big day. Amie and her bridal party also did their own hair and make up for the occasion. And the TikToker joked that she also took her shoes off "as soon as I said 'I do'." While the couple still forked out for a venue for the day, Amie explained that they saved by holding the ceremony and reception in the same room. And the venue in question was the party room at their local library. For the food, the couple decided to skip out on the "fancy meal and fancy cake". I was fuming when I found out the reason my family hadn't RSVP-ed to my wedding - now they're uninvited Amie shared an image of the simple cake they opted for instead, which featured a simple Mr. & Mrs. topper, showing the couple's love for video games and reading. And this passion for gaming also played a major part in the day as the couple went home early to play Fortnite. They did however enjoy some dancing to a playlist Amie made in advance, skipping out on the band or DJ debate. "We didn't want anything big or fancy," she explained, revealing the day went perfectly. However, TikTok users were not sold on the budget-friendly approach. Average cost of a wedding in 2025 Recent research by Hodge reveals the dream of getting married can come with a hefty price tag, reaching more than £20,000. Food - £6,000 Honeymoon - £4,329 Wedding outfits - £3,500 Entertainment - £2,000 Engagement ring - £1,948 Flowers - £1,110 Wedding ring - £1,000 Wedding transport - £700 Total = £20,587 Unimpressed reactions "Seen broke uni parties organised better," wrote one viewer. "Why bother? Just sign the paperwork," pointed out another follower. "Playing Fortnite after your wedding must be the saddest thing I've ever heard," commented a third person. More on weddings Another bride shared how her mother-in-law wore white to her wedding and excluded her from photos "in case it didn't work out". One woman was set on a three-course meal for her wedding but ended up with a fast food buffet of fried chicken. And a monstrosity of a wedding cake that still leaves the bride in tears after paying £300. Plus, tips on how to say no to being a bridesmaid without upsetting the bride. A mother-in-law was slammed by bride for wearing an identical wedding gown.
