Happy Fall from Trader Joe's

2zbeach — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 18:40:58 GMT

I went to do my usual grocery shopping this morning. A guy came up and put a half gallon of apple juice in my cart. As he did so he wished me a " Happy Fall" from Trader Joe's. He added the apple juice was free! It's no wonder I don't shop anywhere else. I was amazed.

Love TJ's!! Not only the variety of unique products, good prices, friendly help, but I love that the size of the stores is not overwhelming. If I have to run back and forth to get things from different aisles, it's do-able. Some of the major grocery chains have built such huge stores that are just too big!

I was thrilled when a TJ finally opened close enough to my home to shop there fairly often, but if I can't go mid=morning on a weekday, I just refuse to go! Way too busy, not enough parking near the store, and I would never be one to buy my whole food list there. I don't love everything although certainly enough to go when I can.

Yes,I think today was my lucky day. Things like this don't usually happen to me. Gestures like this will keep me coming back. Hopefully you will get lucky next time.

I agree - it hasn't happened recently, but there have been two occasions when they gave me flowers. One was when my mom was with me and wasn't feeling well. The other was for no reason....I was headed out to my car after checking out and the cashier came out and handed me a bouquet of flowers.....just because. No wonder I'm a regular shopper there!

I thought of you right away Terrier when I saw all of the Halloween stuff. I remember what a good time you had last year and this year didn't disappoint either!

We love TJ's and shop there weekly. My husband takes their salads to work daily. Many times I have asked an employee about a product and they have just opened it up for me to sample it. They have done this with different fruits that I was not aware of the particular variety, on lychee fruit that I had never tasted, on some coconut chips that I was wondering about, and some lemonaide flavor I was not sure about. They just always ask, "would you like me to open it up for you to sample it?" Of course, I say, sure, that would be great. It keeps me a happy customer.

I just opened my new fall find - the Pumpkin Cookie Butter - and had a toast to you!

A toast to me? As in a piece of toast out of the toaster with that Pumpkin Cookie Butter on it? Count me in and thank you! . . .

Quick question for you. I know they make Halloween Oreo's but do you know if the filling is pumpkin or just colored orange? Please know I can go look myself next time I go and I don't need anything right now but if the filliing does have a different flavor I would be curious . . . thanks Terrier!

The Halloween Oreos just have orange colored vanilla frosting...I read the label CLOSELY, before passing. Nothing beats the Pumpkin JoJos, IMO.

Slight bummer as there was a small part of me that hoped the orange colored filling was actually orange flavor (delicious with dark chocolate) but I think I will snag a box anyway . . . . thanks Terrier!

Oh good Lord I really need to read before I post . . . these Pumpkin JoJo's, they have pumpkin filling in them?

Or maybe I should just waddle over to TJ's and read the labels for myself . . . no worries, thank you for your help Terrier!
