Complaint Review: Trader Joes - Monrovia California

I am making a rip-off report about Trader Joes that they have just gone out of control on their price increases. So I wrote to Trader Joes but haven't had an answer. I am still buying from Trader Joes but a lot less and I am telling others about it as well by spreading the word on their prices, this is not discount any more at Trader Joes, so you shop there, it is going to cost more and more money now. Besides the US recession, Trader Joes is not helping people to save, just spend more money so they can profit again and again.

If you have a story to talk about Trader Joes, lets us know.

Hello:

I am really upset about the price increases at Trader Joes. Pricing have gone up, up and up again, again and again. I have receipts from 2003 to 2008 to verify that with in the last year alone that prices have jumped 20% even and almost double on some of your products.

I have also looked online on forum complaint sites like ripoffreport.com, my2cents.com, vox.com, youtube and other sites to view people making the same statements on Trader Joes about the price increases and there are so many complaints on your prices.

I am seeing customers cut back on spending as well and people are not going to Trader Joes as much as I would see people time to time, now even myself, I have questioned the prices not just on gas prices & minimum wage increases but the prices are very upseting besides that.

Please tell me the main reasons for Trader Joes on its increases, it is both the gasoline prices & minimum wages from Congress to push prices so high?

Second, will prices go down when gasoline goes down but also will they go down if the demand is less from people cutting back and is there anything you can bring prices down?

The United States is on a major recession and the economy is really being hurt but companies increasing prices in the last 2 years. San Luis Obispo is not a strong middle class town, it is mostly minimum wage jobs but when you increase your prices again, again and again, you are hurting the customers.

I am cutting but also I am not spending my money at Trades Joes like I have in the past as I am taking notes on the things I bought last year and see the things increased in your store. The prices are so noticeable that I am not buying the things that have increased for example.

I am considering of not shopping at Trader Joes as the prices have gone way too far but the evidence from my receipts and the all the complaints online.
