Trader Joe’s does not have sales. It just has deals, all day every day, no coupon-cutting needed. By taking out the middleman—nearly all of the products are branded and distributed by Trader Joe’s—the grocery chain offers some of the lowest prices anywhere without sacrificing quality. Whether it be raw almonds, Mediterranean hummus or pork gyoza potstickers, TJ’s delivers. The only hard part is the parking, because you’re not the only reader who voted this place as the best.
