Morning shoppers have the advantage of getting the firstbut also sometimes the onlypick of the products.
Stores may only receive one or two boxes of product on a given day, says Engelhardt.
For really popular products, stores may also receive multiple shipments each day to keep up with demand.
Beginning in early September, “Trader Joe’s will be full of pumpkin spice everything!”
The answer is yes.
Thomas and Engelhardt agree that Tuesdays are the most exciting.
You’re also more likely to discover items that you’ve never seen before.
But you’ll discover more by making a habit of going in regularly, especially on Tuesdays.
Engelhardt says that new discoveries are frequent and abundant.
“Every time I go to Trader Joe’s, it’s like a treasure hunt.
What new products will I discover today?”
And no, this is not a joke.
We have low prices, every day.
NO glitzy promotions or couponing wars at our stores.
We offer the best everyday values, every day.”
