A Trader Joe's employee reveals 4 things you've always wanted to know about the store via CNBCMakeIt
Have you ever wondered how America's favorite grocery chain, Trader Joe's, generally keeps the prices on items so low? Or why it doesn't ship its Everything But The Bagel seasoning direct to your door?
The biggest reason for shortages: Trader Joe's doesn't order as much stock as other stores, the employee said in the AMA. Kiplinger's reports the average store has about 4,000 products on its shelves, compared to 50,000 at a typical grocery store. So with a limited supply available, there's an increased chance that the product you're looking for will run out if you're shopping late in the day.
That also means, though, that it's up to the store to correctly estimate how much of a product it will sell. If you're a regular Trader Joe's shopper, you know that the products offered by the store change frequently change, and some disappear for good. That's another way the store keeps costs low, but it can mean you get cut off from your beloved cereal.
As of March 23, the products currently on the discontinued list include the feta cheese spread, the Cameroon Mount Oku small lot coffee, mango black tea and the olive demi-baguette, according to the employee.
