Free Samples Are FINALLY Back At Trader Joe’s

As if you needed another excuse to shop at TJ’s.

In case you forgot, the past almost three years have been a bit wonky after a little thing called COVID-19. Everyone had to adapt to this new way of life, so the thought of in-store samples at grocery stores seemed like a pretty terrible idea.

Thankfully, as life returns to some semblance of normalcy, stores are giving us free food again. And Trader Joe’s just announced that, after two long years, free in-store samples are back.

Let Them Eat Snacks

The grocery chain confirmed that in-store samples will be returning, just in time for the upcoming holiday season. A spokesperson for the company stated that the samples will be primarily for new and seasonal products, along with ones that might be getting overlooked.

“We want to focus a little more on new products. Things not necessarily on your shopping list but things we’re excited to share,” the company stated.

For The Love Of (Free) Food

Fans are, naturally, thrilled that demos are coming back to Trader Joe’s. With Instagram accounts like @traderjoeslist garnering nearly two million followers, it’s no wonder the excitement is paramount.

Autumn products have already been on the shelves for awhile, but the holiday Fearless Flyer (packed with all things Thanksgiving and Christmas) will be arriving shortly. Thanks to the free samples, you’ll get a little more joy during your grocery shopping.
