The Trick To Snagging In-Demand Items At Trader Joe's

To ensure you get your favorite in-demand Trader Joe's products, call your local store first thing in the morning (when shipments arrive) and ask for those items to be put on hold.

When doing so, tell the staff when you'll be able to pick everything up. Once you get to the store, let them know you have products reserved, and they will bring those right out.

There are no rules stating employees must hold items, so they can refuse your request. Being polite to the staff is your best bet at guaranteeing you get your products.

With all that said, how many items you can hold and how often you can reserve them will ultimately depend on the Trader Joe’s location you’re shopping at.
