The blooming smells from their fresh flowers draw in more customers.

Come on down to your local Traders Joe’s where they have everything you need and more. You will rarely find someone walking out empty handed. All the way from fresh flowers, to their own brand mac and cheese. The workers themselves are very welcoming which makes the environment even more enjoyable. 

“Trader Joe’s is probably one of my favorite places to go. I always get snacks and flowers and the prices are so reasonable which makes it even better,” said employee Jasmin Elmatari. 

For me, I try to always have a bouquet of flowers on my desk, and my favorite place to get them is Trader Joe’s. They always have different flowers, but my go-to from their selection is the unicorn Baby’s Breath flowers.  They are a mix of light pink, purple, blue, and green for the price of $5. 

If you’re looking for more of a snack, their selection is endless. My personal favorite is the milk chocolate pretzels that are filled with creamy peanut butter. With those, you don’t ever have to worry about your taste buds being sad again. They also have free samples of new added items that you are more than welcome to try before purchasing. 

For holidays, they have different seasonal items. For fall, they have pumpkin yogurt covered pretzels, which is a close tie to my favorite along with their brand of pumpkin spice coffee. For winter they have gingerbread ice cream and a delicious ginger spread which is a fan favorite. If you enjoy trying new things and expanding your horizon, Trader Joe’s is the perfect place for you.
