Flowers

Average Price: $3.99*
Verdict: Buy It

Anyone who has ever visited Trader Joe’s is familiar with the stunning floral arrangements that can be found in the produce section. Not only are these flowers gorgeous and frequently arranged according to the season, but they are also quite reasonably priced. The majority of bouquets are available for as little as $3.99. When The Kitchn compared the pricing of Trader Joe’s flowers to those of Kroger, Whole Foods, Aldi, and Costco, it discovered that Trader Joe’s was the most affordable option by a wide margin. Every single morning, fresh flowers are delivered to Trader Joe’s. As a result, it’s a wonderful surprise every time you walk into the store because you never know what you’ll find. Specialty flowers can be reserved or ordered in advance; however, you will need to contact the store directly to determine whether or not they are available.

Trader Joe’s Sushi

Average Price: $4*
Verdict: Skip It

The same thing has been reported by both former Trader Joe’s employees and customers: don’t buy the sushi at Trader Joe’s. According to Emily Baxter, a former Trader Joe’s employee, the store’s sushi is “stored in a box” from the time it is produced until it is purchased, according to an article published by Spoon University. Customers have also expressed dissatisfaction with the sushi, with reviewers claiming that it is “gummy” and has an unusually sweet flavor. MSN.com, Real Simple, Business Insider, Mashed, and Money.com all advised against purchasing sushi at Trader Joe’s, citing worries about the quality and freshness of the fish as the primary reasons.
