A gift bag of Trader Joe's groceries!

We put innovative, hard-to-find, great-tasting foods in the "Trader Joe's" name. That cut our costs and saved you money. Still does.

And that's important, because "Value" is a concept we take very seriously. And by value we mean great everyday prices on all of our great products — no sales, no gimmicks, no clubs to join, no special cards to swipe... How do we do it?

• We buy direct from suppliers whenever possible, we bargain hard to get the best price, and then pass the savings on to you.


• If an item doesn't pull its weight in our stores, it goes away to gangway for something else.


• We buy in volume and contract early to get the best prices.


• Most grocers charge their suppliers fees for putting an item on the shelf. This results in higher prices... so we don't do it.


• We keep our costs low — because every penny we save is a penny you save.

It's not complicated. We just focus on what matters — great food + great prices = Value.
