When I’m searching for answers in life, I often wind up at Trader Joe’s. Why, might you ask? Because, for me, Trader Joe’s is equivalent to therapy and self-care; if you forget what time of year it is, glance over at any grocery aisle, and the snacks will tell you.
Trader Joe’s is famous for its seasonal foods, with some of them being outright wacky. Chocolate hummus was one of the more... interesting concoctions. So, to kick off the fall season, FinanceBuzz partnered with Trader Joe’s to hold a contest to find its next “Pumpkin Spice Bundit”.

Bumblebees are bubbling with delight just like us! According to NewScientist.com, Bees are far more intuitively emotional than we initially thought.
And as you might have heard, bees are dying at unprecedented speeds because of aggregated factors: habitat destruction, global warming, pollution, and more.
So, why not give the bees something a little special, with a cute “beequet”? The Last Bunch has designed miniature bouquets, made from preserved bee-attracting flower varieties that were about to be thrown away.
These beequets are made in partnership with Bees for Development, which is a charity that helps some of the world’s poorest people become self-sufficient through beekeeping.
