What is Trader Joe's?

Trader Joe's might as well be considered the "wild west" of grocery stores. You're going in with a set list of items for tonight's dinner, and you're leaving with cannoli dip, tiny avocados and a frozen seafood boil.

"Our buyers travel the world searching for products we think are exceptional and will find a following among our customers," Trader Joe's writes online. "To earn a spot on our shelves, each product is submitted to a rigorous tasting panel process, in which every aspect of quality is investigated in context of the price we can offer."

New Trader Joe's chips are going viral. What are the Cornbread Crisps?
A seasonal Trader Joe's is going viral on social media, with customers raving about the new Cornbread Crisps.
"Each bag of Trader Joe’s Cornbread Crisps start as a batch of traditionally fluffy, sweet, and moist Cornbread, which our supplier flattens and cuts into diamond shapes before roasting them to a golden brown Crisp," a product description on the grocery store chain's website reads. "They then add a touch of sea salt, for a sweet-savory balance to complement their satisfyingly crunchy texture."
They are $2.99, according to its website.
