Ugh, Trader Joe’s does it again

They NEED to bring back the frozen elote corn. It was so good on tacos/taco salads!

I used to mix this into the Latin style black bean soup, which is also gone. RIP

I loved the chocolate mint tea. And someone posted that the dark chocolate covered espresso beans are gone - please say it isn’t so!

I feel like in the past few years, TJs has leaned more heavily into its seasonal offerings than it had in the past - I know it always did this, and I often love the brief new products, but it now feels like a larger part of the merchandise is the seasonal offerings of stabdard products. Which means less room for the tried and true favorites

I used to joke that they were secretly monitoring my purchases—anything I bought 5 times was automatically discontinued.

I don’t shop there anymore.

Trader Joe's has really good vinegar and I miss several of their discontinued vinegars.


I always check for the breaded eggplant cutlets I found exactly once. Luckily I find them randomly at other supermarkets. Never consistently though. My freezer looks like I'm an eggplant hoarder.

I didn’t realize they’d discontinued that! I use it when I make empanadas — I usually make three varieties and one is that corn with mozarella cheese. When I had leftover fresh corn I would just throw it in the same bag as there was always a lot of sauce to the corn ratio.

Agree on the black bean corn salsa and also the peach salsa. If they ever drop the corn salsa I will be bereft.

On the positive side, they dropped the turkey chili and then brought it back so there is hope.

You could try frozen corn seasoned with their Everything But the Elote spice

$1.99 cans of crab. It was the best deal in town.

They had a green Thai curry sauce that I still miss. I think it was discontinued about 10 years ago.

We just discovered their chocolate coffee granola. Please, please don’t let this be a seasonal offering that we never see again.

The Turkey Sausage Stuffing Fried Rice. It was delicious.
