I need you! What are your wants and needs?

TJ's doesn't really have sales, so what kind of stuff do you want to see here?

Can you convince them to build a Trader Joes where I live?

Just kidding!

Uh, um, well...I just got one myself a few months ago AND this is my first day as FL here. Give me a month or so??

Hi! TJ's does accept coupons. Maybe just linking up available coupons with items they carry? And linking that info up with their fearless flyer offers (I think that's what they call it)! I don't know if that's too much work...

I am so jealous of all you who have Trader Joe's. Thanks, Carrie, for taking on another forum!

That's what I'm here for!

Carrie, you are a busy lady! What I'd like to see out of this forum - if possible - are people posting about good TJ's finds. In real life, people are always serving great appetizers, etc from there and love to talk about them. It would be great to see that here. They carry a huge variety of products under their own label and I'd like to hear what others like before I buy.

Great! That is exactly what I had in mind! I'll start some threads to get that talk started!!

I wish TJ's carried Amy's brand frozen foods, and I wish also that they would bring back their Muir Glen Fire Roasted Tomatoes. (It was the Muir Glen brand, but it had a Trader Joe's label.)

I've never been in trader joes. I go to whole foods. Are their prices better?

I don't go to trader joe's often. They have a huge wine section, so I would wonder if anyone finds good wine tags.

I would also like to hear about "clearanced" items. I'm not sure what they call clearance items at tj's but I know that I have seen clearanced items there before.

I didn't know that they accepted q's. I would love to see what q's match up with their products!

I was just there yesterday and bought tons and tons of bananas for 19 cents a pound! Well, okay, I bought some wine too. Two buck Chuck (which is $3.19 here) makes for great summer wine spritzers

Don't forget the flowers! They have the most beautiful, unique and well priced bouquets anywhere!

Thanks, Carrie, for taking this on! I can't wait to read more about Joe's!

CarrieMB2, do you have a "connection" with Trader Joe's? It would be neat if you could somehow try to get AFC'ers some special rewards/deals/or coupons from Trader Joe's, or at least make our voices heard on products we would like them to bring back.

I go into Fresh and Natural by my house for a coupon book they put out monthly. The coupons are manufacturer coupons so I take them to Trader Joes. Today I picked up two boxes of gorilla munch for $2.11 with q's I found at Fresh and Natural.
