As you may know I LOVE Trader Joe’s – here are some of the benefits!
-
It’s cheap! The prices are nationally fixed – meaning, anywhere you go (even NYC, LA, and San Fran) the prices are the same (and very cheap!)
-
They have stores all over the country and are opening new ones all the time
-
They’re so responsive to their customers, they’re always taking new food and meal requests
-
They’re great with returns – I returned an open bag of cat litter Cat didn’t like the other week
When it comes to convenient food, who doesn’t love pizza?!
