Overnight oatmeal provides a strange little dichotomy to the world of breakfast foods. Some oatmeal enthusiasts praise these as the height of convenience, while the rest are left baffled as to why introducing an element of eight hours of planning to oatmeal is preferable. Trader Joe's splits the difference and offers pumpkin oatmeal that's ready to eat straight out of the fridge.

This super creamy ice cream blended with pumpkin and spices is the perfect autumn treat for days when it feels like summer is hanging on just a little bit longer. Drop a scoop in your coffee instead of creamer for an extra treat in your morning routine.

Bottom line

The best part about Trader Joe's seasonal products is that they focus on actual pumpkins instead of just the traditionally used spices. Their products include pumpkin purée for a richer, authentic fall food experience.

If you're craving variety in your fall flavor palate while still loving the pumpkin spice season, Trader Joe's should be your first stop for shopping — because these products are only available seasonally, and once they're gone, they won't be seen again until next year.

Savvy shoppers already know to check the ingredients on fall-themed foods to make sure the manufacturers haven't replaced key ingredients, such as swapping pumpkin for sweet potatoes in an effort to reduce product costs.

However, there are also smart shopping hacks to save more on groceries that can help pack more pumpkin flavor into your weekly grocery shopping.

Money tips that can work for everyone

No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.

Focus on paying off your debt . Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.

Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.

Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
