2016 SEASON OF GIVING (DAY 7): $5 Trader Joe’s Gift Card

IMG 0482

I could list every Trader Joe’s product we’ve covered this year. Or I could embed a video made in 2009 about Trader Joe’s that I didn’t know existed until a week ago.

I choose the video.

  32. JoAnn

    Great gift card, thanks!

  33. Jess

    It’d be nice to have a trader joe’s. I like to buy their cinnamon pear cider in the winter for mixed drinks. It’s pear cider, birthday cake vodka, coconut rum, and I feel like there’s something else I add to it, but that might be it. It’s dangerous.

  34. Whitney Gates

    I freaking love Trader Joes!

  35. Shawn Hunt

    Cookie Butter! Just a jar and a spoon!
