I feel like Trader Joes is a big secret. It is a great way to make organic affordable!
I recently went on a tour of Trader Joes with my local MOPS group and I really learned A LOT. Trader Joes is a great place and just so you know they give FREE tours! That in itself is a great free activity to do with your kids. You can get a group of people together and call to make an appointment for a tour. On our tour we got samples and a free reusable bag.
Trader Joes only carries one kind of every item. They do this to keep the costs down. They find a product they like and go to the manufacturer with a list of specifications. The manufacturer comes back to Trader Joes with a price quote. Trader Joes then decides if they like that price and if they do they put their label on it and start selling it in their store. They say the reason there is only one of every item is because that one item is the BEST of that item.
I will let the rest of the Trader Joes story be told to you when you go on that FREE tour!
