What is Trader Joe’s

“Trader Joe’s is a national chain of neighborhood grocery stores.” At their store they provide the best quality products at pretty great prices.

Is Trader Joe’s Expensive?

I do a lot of shopping at Safeway and whenever I go to Trader Joe’s I’m always shocked at how affordable things are. The produce in particular is almost always cheaper than Safeway.

Trader Joe’s does not offer any coupons, sales or discounts to members. Instead they believe every shopper should have the best prices every day. Which is pretty awesome!

In my opinion, there are benefits of shopping at a store that provides a loyalty membership, like Safeway AND going to Trader Joes’s. You can rack up some great points shopping at a grocery store like Safeway. They offer a ton of sales and they reward you with discounts on items you buy a lot. The meat/poultry/seafood prices tend to be cheaper at Safeway as well during sales.

With Trader Joe’s, you know exactly what to except with the price and most of the time its cheap. They buy directly from suppliers to get the best price possible. Plus, they have a ton of fun, unique products, along with everyday essentials. There are a lot of things you could buy at Trader Joe’s with a $30 shopping limit.

Trader Joes Tteokbokki Korean rice cakes are by far my favorite item, I have to pick this up when I shop there. The texture of the rice cakes are fun to eat especially paired with the sauce. I do change the sauce a little bit as I am not greatest with super spicy things. And I also make it more of a meal by adding protein, vegetables and cheese. Its SO GOOD. Recipe Here
