My relationship with Trader Joe’s can best be categorized as passionate & dysfunctional. Or like the hot foreign girl you met at a rooftop bar, hook up with, but then find out she’s only here taking English classes. It’s fiery love that is entirely physical in nature with an inevitable tragic ending.

Albrecht Discounts (Aldi Nord) is the owner of TJ’s. While they run the company siloed. I can only imagine a few of the items listed below were loss leaders just to get people in the store of pick up other products associated with them.

Sigh…

Now without further ado here’s my list of TJ products no longer available for purchase. I’ve gone as far as writing then calling the company. The response was a pretty standard “thank you…” with the some sincerity about how they are sometimes not able to renew contracts with 3^rd parties, raw materials costed increased, or lack of sales.

I even went as far as suggesting and idea on social media to call out products on the chopping block for ground swell action to take place.
