It’s no secret that Trader Joe’s is home to some of the tastiest and most popular grocery items around. Unfortunately that means that it can be tough to get your hands on some of their most sought-after products especially if you’re shopping late in the day after everyone else has already jumped in and grabbed all of your favorite items. While you may still be able to snag some of Trader Joe’s lesser-known treats like certain hidden gems from the freezer section you’ll have to work the system if you want to check off every item on your shopping list. Luckily in this case that’s not so hard. As it turns out one way to ensure you get your favorite TJ’s products like the chain’s popular Chocolate Croissants or Steamed Soup Dumplings is to call the store and ask if your groceries can be reserved.

How Trader Joe's Tricks You Into Spending More Money!!

To pick up the best Trader Joe’s products of 2024 without any hassle call your local store first thing in the morning when the shipments arrive. Then politely ask the associates to set aside a few items and tell them when you can pick everything up. Once you get to the store let them know that you have reserved products and they should take them right away. Easy!

This trick isn’t due to any official Trader Joe’s policy but rather the friendliness of its employees. That’s why being polite to the staff is your best bet for guaranteeing that you get the last bottle of Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning. Of course you should be nice to employees no matter where you shop but since there are no rules stating that employees have to hold items they have the right to refuse your request. How many items you can hold and how often you can hold them also depends on where you shop. If there’s enough inventory and the store manager allows it you can even hold seasonal items according to people on Reddit.

Trader Joe's' multiple policies like always allowing customers to try items before they buy and accepting returns without questions contribute to its appeal as one of the most popular grocery stores in the world. But some of these policies can also make it a little inaccessible. For example the grocery store doesn't allow online orders. But with a little finesse it's possible to have Trader Joe's delivered to your door and with even less effort you can simply call to reserve the best products for yourself.
