  • Why do fans love Trader Joe's over other grocery stores? it probably their exclusive Trader Joe's branded products! Let's go shopping at Trader Joe's, I'll show you five products I LOVE and one I HATE!
    Okay, hate is a strong word. Let's say I'm disappointed in one fan favorite product.
    What's so special about Trader Joe's? Many fans love Trader Joe's for reasonably priced private labeled products. Since the company doesn't spend a lot on advertising and supplier fees, they can pass the savings to customers.
    Trader Joe's is reported to have a generous return policy, although there is no such policy stated on their website. Some insiders report that you can return products with or without a receipt whether it has been used or not.
    I haven't put this to the test myself, please let me know in the comments if you have had this experience.
    One down side to shopping at Trader Joe's is the parking lot. The small and (in my opinion) poorly laid out parking lots at Trader Joe's has become somewhat of a running joke.
    The small sized parking lot is with good reason. They are sized relative to the footprint of the stores. Small grocery store/small parking lot.

    What i do with the chicken is put all the little pieces in the middle of the baking tray scrunched together and put the large pieces by themselves on the edge of the baking tray. This makes it so it all still bakes evenly.

    Trader Joes’ frozen section is unmatched!

      It's full of some wonderful things! I stock up when I'm there because we don't live very close to a Trader Joe's location.
      Thanks for watching!

    Totally agree on the Mandarin Chicken. I stopped buying it a long time ago even though I use to buy it all the time. The quality went way downhill. Some pieces were all batter. If you belong to Costco, try their Orange Chicken in the freezer section. I air fry it and it's delicious. Really enjoy your videos, this was a fun one!

      I'll have to renew my Costco membership. I hear they have some great products.
      I'm so glad you enjoyed this video. I wanted to try something a bit different and I had fun with it.
      Thanks so much for watching!

    Everything's big in America! Can you bring me one of those bags when you come to Britain and I will buy you some of our Fish and (proper) Chips 😋

      You might have a deal! I visited London for the first timeblast year and was disappointed in the fish and chips I tried at two locations.
      I'd love to have a really good version

    Wow, you still have the purple thermal bag? Glad I picked mine up a month ago. They haven't returned since I bought mine.

      They have a wide selection of reusable bags. Lots of great options including some insulated bags.
      Thanks for watching!

    First post of your's I've seen and everything looks good except all the oil in the scallion pancakes, yuck. I'd rather make some quick veggie fritters myself. Surprised the plantain chips have zero sugar at all. How can that be possible since aren't they similar to bananas? Best from Colorado!

      I agree that it's surprising that the plantain chips have 0 sugar. I suppose it's because they use unripe plantains before the starches are converted to sugar
      Thanks so much for watching!

    If the short ribs don’t have SEED OILS I will try them!
