Trader Joe’s

My reviews of Trader Joe’s products

Trader Joe’s is a very popular chain of grocery stores, founded in California, but with over five hundred locations throughout the country. They specialize in high quality private-label items, sourced from Europe and other countries, with a gourmet air but usually affordable prices. They are particularly well known for the frozen food and cheese offerings.
