Is there anyone who doesn’t LOVE shopping at Trader Joe’s? It’s the best place to get your weekly groceries because of its great prices and amazing branded products across frozen meals, prepared foods, snacks and more. But there is one mistake you might be making when you shop at Trader Joe’s.
According to experts, there is one food you should stop buying from Trader Joe’s because it is extremely overpriced. Most foods at the store are worth their price tags, which are seldom marked up too high. But apparently, this is not the case for the grocery chain’s premade overnight oats.
If you’re a fan of the Trader Joe’s Vanilla Overnight Oats, you’re not alone. This ready-made breakfast meal is delicious and healthy, but you should probably stop buying it because it is ridiculously overpriced. And you would never realize just how overpriced it is because its price tag reads $1.99.
No one would ever second-guess a price tag of $1.99, but if you really look at the Vanilla Overnight Oats, you’ll realize that you’re spending way too much for such a small portion. The meal is only 5.5 ounces for this price, while you can buy a 32-ounce container of rolled oats from Trader Joe’s to make your own breakfast for less than a dollar more.
Instead of buying Trader Joe’s premade overnight oats, buy a big container of rolled oats and try to make your own overnight oats. You can easily make vanilla overnight oats on your own using oats, milk and vanilla extract. Get the full recipe from Kristine In Between.
