In a recent video posted to her social media account, the young woman has clearly proven she is a loyal Trader Joe's customer.
"A lot of people who got my back and love me have tagged me that Trader Joe's russets are back," she explained as she walked through the parking lot.
She expressed that she would not settle if her store didn't have the scrumptious chips in stock.

"And if my Trader Joe's doesn't have them I'm going to be paying y'all to send me some," she warned.
As she approached the entrance, the TikToker helplessly grabbed a cart, predicting she may add a few things to her shopping list.
"I don't know why I got a cart. I'm going to buy too much now," she admitted.
Before heading to the chip section, Dejong made a quick stop to grab her favorite garden vegetable hash and jicama sticks. She suggested pairing the crunchy sticks with tajin and lime.

She finally found the long-awaited russet potato chips.
"We have them," she said, as she began piling bags into her cart. "I think four is enough. I think I'm slightly overcommitting."

"This dip you guys, right here," she said, pointing to the famed caramelized onion dip. "This dip."
Before heading out of the store, Dejong stopped by the dessert section to offer a final recommendation.
