Trader Joe’s Organic Pesto Tortellini
Average Price: $3.49*
Verdict: Skip It
Some of Trader Joe’s fan favorites are, sadly, more expensive than their competitors, but they continue to be popular with customers who shop at the grocery store on a regular basis. This includes TJ’s Pesto Tortellini, which bears an eerie resemblance to the identical product manufactured by Annie’s brand, among other things. Pesto and pasta go together like cookies and cream, but you don’t have to travel all the way to Darden’s Olive Garden to experience this delicious combination of flavors. Trader Joe’s sells their own Organic Pesto Tortellini dish for $3.49 per box, which is a great deal. Even if it’s a lot cheaper than what you’d pay for a bowl of pasta at your local Italian restaurant, is it worth it? Unfortunately, it looks that this is not the case. According to the reviews, the only element that makes the product bearable is the price. The pesto, according to the majority of reviewers, is tasteless, despite the fact that the prepared dish appears appealing. It may be preferable to purchase pesto and spaghetti separately and combine them yourself in order to avoid disappointment.
Trader Joe’s Triple Ginger Snaps
Average Price: $3.99*
Verdict: Debatable
For those who enjoy the overwhelming flavor of the spice, Trader Joe’s may well have a stranglehold on the market for its ginger snap cookies. Customers can choose from a variety of their highly-rated Triple Ginger Snaps for as little as $3.99 each. Ginger snaps are an old-fashioned cookie that is beloved all over the world, especially in the United States. For those in other areas of the world who prefer the spicy-sweet snack with a hint of ginger, molasses, and clove flavors, the crispy, crunchy, spicy-sweet delight is known as a “ginger nut.” Apparently, consumers believe that the crystallized ginger provides a truly magical touch to the cookies that is simply unmistakable – but what about the financial impact on your pocketbook? Comparatively speaking, they are more expensive when compared to other similar products such as Walmart’s Great Value ($1.98) or Archway Cookies ($2.98). When looking for a better deal, it’s probably wiser to look elsewhere rather than within the company.
