Have yourself a Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving
Trader Joe’s has Thanksgiving planned. The retailer curated 51 of its festive own brand offerings in its latest Fearless Flyer, a running writeup of featured products that Trader Joe’s posts online and emails out to its loyal shopper list
The comprehensive listing has every aspect of a Thanksgiving dinner planned including turkeys, sides, cheese, wine, scalloped potatoes, ham, chocolates, pumpkin cobbler and so much more.
At the same time, facing Thanksgiving and the winter holiday season ahead, Trader Joe’s is fully aware of the supply chain issues happening across the country. The retailer dedicated its latest podcast to the subject, taking a slight step back from its more humorous take on all things Trader Joe’s, but addressing how the chain keeps prices down for some products such as jars of its dijon mustard that have remained at a price of $1.69 for more than a decade, and also acknowledging that the price of beef is going up everywhere. The podcast ventured into the store’s buying philosophy and how it works to keep prices low and shelves stocked.
For Thanksgiving, the retailer touted items that can be found in Trader Joe’s stores. Products include classic items like its Trader Joe’s Whole Turkeys delivered fresh on Nov. 12, including free-range turkeys, Kosher turkeys and a turkey soaked in a sweet and savory brine.
The Thanksgiving roundup also included new items such as the Trader Joe’s Green Bean Casserole Bites. The frozen dish is a reimagining of the classic casserole dish but into an appetizer with the taste of the casserole in bite-sized cups of fillo dough.
