My family, friends and pretty much everyone who knows me, knows that I love Trader Joe’s. No, I do not work or get paid by them, I am simply another obsessed fan of this grocery story. Let me tell you why and share some amazing products you need to try.
In case, you don’t know this place exist. Let me tell you, you need to go! It's a grocery store like no other, with all type of food, produce and specialty cleaning products branded under the super market’s name “Trader Joe’s”. You will not find the commercial brands you usually get in other places. The quality and uniqueness of their products is out of this world. Organic fruits, vegetables and meats are excellent and affordable. Processed foods like frozen meals are spectacular.
You can easily tell, I like it very much. People say, customers at Trader Joe’s become like a cult. I think we are. There is easily one post or blog talking about Trader Joe’s, every week. Social media is bloated by Facebook and Instagram accounts dedicated by users, like me, that genuinely love this place. Celebrities love it too, you will probably see paparazzi photos of celebrities with their Trader Joe’s bag. It is even constantly mentioned in movies and t.v. series. It’s a whole movement.
Close friends and family that come home, always ask me for my recipes or plates, sometimes I cook everything homemade (with TJ products) but I am always happy to share when is a pre-made food. I will be showing the package and everything, I am very proud of my finds. No shame on that at all. A working mother of two can always appreciate a pre-made food that is hearty and tastes naturally as home-made food.
I am always asked to give a list of those must have products I buy at TJ. I live almost 25 minutes away from the closest Trader Joe’s, I go every 3 weeks and leave with a shopping cart full of amazing products. In case you are wondering how much is all this (below), approximately $350 dollars, most of it organic products. I have here everything I need for 3 weeks. I believe is not expensive.
Besides it's delicious products, the service and vibe is so nice. Customers are definitely excited to be shopping there, but employees look very happy to work there as well, they are always excited to help you, most of the times they check your eggs and produce to see if it is in optimum condition, if not, they will personally go and change it for you. The other day, after I finished leaving all the shopping bags in my car's truck, I went to leave back the shopping cart where all the carts are, as I assume everyone else does, then someone from TJ's appeared with a bouquet of flowers as an appreciation gift for leaving the cart in the right place. Now, tell me if this is not top customer service?
So going back to the food. For all of you, finally here is my and my son’s (he of course is pretty obsessed about it too), shopping list of the products you need to try. Remember, the store is constantly bringing new products, so don't be afraid to try everything.
Let me know what do you think and any new finds!
