Reasons
WHY Trader Joe’s is better?
• Friendly staff • Fresh produce • Free food samples
I can’t imagine a better grocery store. I save money shopping all the organic foods. Trader Joe’s is a dream for people like me, who like good organic food. The selection of items is well balanced and good quality. The prices are great.
Why Shop on Trader Joe’s? Trader Joe’s made a commitment to eliminate added trans fats from all private label products along with artificial colors, flavors, preservatives. One thing that was helpful was next to the price tags they always explain the importance about the products why is better.
