🚌 FIELD TRIP: TRADER JOE'S

Adventure Awaits!

Listen, I’m not about to suit up for a wild ride up the 303 (or any other road in Arizona for that matter), unless I know it’s worth the “adventure.”

Trader Joe’s (“TJ’s”) is one of those places that’s worth the trip! If you’ve never been, the holiday season is the best time to experience TJ’s because they have so many unique treats that are only available at this time of year!

Before, when we lived in Orange County, I would make multiple trips a week to TJ’s and when we moved here, giving that up was hard. It didn’t take long though before I got used to going to Aldi (as I’ve written about before here), but there are still some things that can only be found at TJ’s, so I now visit about every 4 weeks. Plus, I have found TJ’s prices to be on the lower side on most things, so I like to stock up on essentials like beans and olives, which are about 50% cheaper than at regular grocery stores. Plus, I think the quality is better too!

Best Experienced In Person

Since TJ’s is best experienced visually, today’s story is going to be heavy on the photos so you can get an idea of what it’s like if you haven’t been. If you’re already familiar with TJ’s but haven’t been lately, you’ll love seeing a few of the new, fun things that they have out right now.

When I was preparing for this story, I was planning on showing you all aspects of the store. But, as I started to assemble the pictures, I realized there’s no way I can show you everything without this turning into a novel - I took so many photos yesterday! But, here’s a sampling:
