Episode 114: Mapping One Neighborhood Trader Joe's, With A List
You've heard us say it time and time again – every Trader Joe's is as unique as the neighborhood in which it lives. And every customer in every Trader Joe's walks in with a unique list of their "must-have" products. In this episode of Inside Trader Joe's, we asked one of our fellow Crew Members in our Boston mothership to share his favorite TJ's product. He came with a list. And a map. Come along on this journey through one neighborhood's store, with one customer – who just happens to be a Crew Member, and who really did create this map from memory, as he thought about his list of faves. For fun, we're including the map here in the show notes. What would your map look like? Transcript (PDF)

Episode 113: Trader Joe's Goes Viral
The internet is a vast and unpredictable place. One piece of predictability we've discovered is the ability to find fun and interesting ways to use Trader Joe's products in all kinds of places. Of course, you'll find those on traderjoes.com and on our Instagram and YouTube channels. What continues to surprise and amaze us, though, is just how many people outside Trader Joe's come up with and share their own fun and interesting ways to use Trader Joe's products – and the extent to which those ideas go viral. And whether it's a "hack" or a full-blown "recipe" (we're still debating whether or not there's a difference around here), we're always up for trying something new, and we love when other folks seem to love our products as much as we do!

Episode 112: Time for Tacos at Trader Joe's
Somewhere along the line, Taco Tuesday became a thing. And while we're all about alliteration (apparently), we feel it's important to point out that tacos are delicious every single day of every single week. This is especially true if you employ one of the absolutely-made-for-tacos marinated meats you'll find in the refrigerated case at your neighborhood Trader Joe's – Carne Asada Ranchera, Pollo Asado Chicken Thighs, or Al Pastor Diced Pork. Join us for a heated conversation with our resident expert on all things meat (and tacos!) for some insight into how we developed these additions to our meat case, as well as some pro-tips for prepping that will have you putting tacos on the menu every day that ends in y.

This year, we have gourds of new Pumpkin products to share, including Pumpkin Spice Bark, Organic Pumpkin Pie Creamer, and Pumpkin & Spice Caramel Sauce. But this is the season of abundance, which means you'll also find seasonal treasures like Apple Pie à la Mode Ice Cream, Mandarin Crunch Pasta Salad, and London Fog Tea Concentrate.

Episode 110: Expect the Unexpected (Cheddar) at Trader Joe's
At Trader Joe's, our entire business begins with expecting the unexpected. When you spend your days searching for delicious new products and traveling the world in search of great values for customers, you never know what might happen. And while we knew from the beginning that Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar and Toscano cheeses were delicious values, we could never have predicted the success they'd find in our cheese cases. We recently visited the folks who work every day to bring us these spectacular, award-winning cheeses – including the Master Cheesemaker who's been on the scene from the beginning – and we walked away with even more appreciation for these fab fromage friends. Listen in, learn just enough to make you an amateur turophile, then head to your neighborhood Trader Joe's and pick up your favorite iteration of our Unexpected Cheddar and Toscano cheeses.

Episode 109: Trader Joe's 2026 Store Recipe Contest Winners
Each year, around this time, we reveal the winner of our annual Store Recipe Contest. While most of our contests center customer recipes, this one features recipes directly from the folks who know our products best – the Crew Members who work in our stores. This year, we received submissions from stores across the country, and we were stunned by both the quantity and the quality of the recipes – sweet, savory, and spicy recipes you could serve for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. We prepped, we cooked, and we ate our way to four delicious Runners-Up and one standout Winner. Listen in for all the details, point your browser to traderjoes.com for all the recipes, then head to your neighborhood Trader Joe's to pick up everything you'll need to make your favorites.
