Discontinued dinner favorite
In more sad news, Trader Joe’s shoppers were mourning the loss of a beloved $8.99 dinner item after some people have questioned if it has been discontinued.
One shopper went online and asked if they’ve stopped selling their turkey cutlets in stores.
The shopper said on the Facebook group TraderJoe’s Discontinued :(: “The past few times I’ve stopped into my local Trader Joe’s, I haven’t seen the turkey cutlets.
“Have they been discontinued?
“They are staples in my house!
One shopper replied saying: “The turkey cutlets were discontinued.”
However, one food lover said they were also a huge fan of them, but they were hard to find.
TikTok user @ggbotts wrote: “They are near the chicken, so good if you happen to find them.
“They so good.”
The mum showed how she turns them into breaded pieces for her son.
The Trader Joe’s lover said they also couldn’t spot their “individually wrapped steaks for $8.99 in a green packaging.”
Thankfully there was good news here.
One shopper informed them: “The 8.99 steaks were just given new packaging (at least at my store).
“It’s in a larger vacuum sealed black tray.”
This follows Trader Joe fans being left gutted after discovering their Lactose Free Cream Cheese is no longer being sold.
