6 products not worth buying at Trader Joe's

According to the annual Retailer Preference Index survey, for the second year in a row consumers have called Trader Joe's the best food chain in America.

The network has many favorable price offers, as well as unusual products that you will not see on the shelves of any other store, writes NBC.

However, some products from this chain are not worth buying, below is a list of them and reasons why Trader Joe's is not the best place to buy them.

Meat and seafood

Prices for these products in the network are much higher than in many other stores.

1 pound of organic chicken sells for $6,49 at Trader Joe's. Meanwhile, a similar package costs $4,94 at Walmart and $4,99 at Costco.

If you are watching your diet, it’s best not to buy Trader Joe’s pickled meat, including chicken, beef and pork. Four ounces of Korean-style beef ribs marinated in this network contain 860 mg of sodium, which is 36% of the recommended daily dose of this element.

rice

Trader Joe's rice is quite expensive, and frozen rice has an unreasonably high price. 3 ounces of frozen brown rice are sold online for 2,99 dollars, while ShopRite offers 12 ounces of frozen brown rice for 1,79 dollars.

Buying plain uncooked rice elsewhere will also provide savings. Walmart offers 16 ounces rice packaging for 0,78 dollars, which is cheaper than Trader Joe's.

Frozen Side Dishes

Trader Joe's is known for his delicious frozen dishes and side dishes, but pay attention to the fine print when you go shopping: you may pay more for less weight.

For example, Trader Joe's sells a really good frozen chicken lunch for 5 dollars. In this case, a similar set from Newman's Own will cost $ 7,79.

But the packaging of sweet potato fries in 15 ounces sells for $ 2,29 at Trader Joe's, while Walmart sells 20 ounces of such potatoes from the Great Value brand for $ 2.

Vitamins

Vitamins are expensive in almost any store in the United States, but Trader Joe's prices are higher than in other networks.

For example, Trader Joe's sells 100 vitamin B capsules for $5,99, while Target sells a similar package of the vitamin for $4,67 and Walgreens sells it for $4,75.

Some foods from cereals and snacks

A TJ's 13,5 ounce box of Honey Nut O's costs $ 2,49, while RiteAid sells 17 ounces of Honey Nut Cheerios cereal for $ 2,50.

The difference in the price of goods in this category may not always be significant, but in most cases, Trader Joe's offers less profitable price options for cereal products than its competitors.

Snacks, such as cookies and muesli bars, are usually also too expensive in this network, so you should refrain from wanting to buy something delicious while you are looking for what you came for.

Organic milk

A half gallon of organic 2 percent milk sells for $3,29 at Trader Joe's. The same carton of milk costs $2,69 at Aldi and $3 at Walmart.
