Trader Joe’s Flower Tips
Ask for a Bucket
Do you have to drive more than 20 minutes to Trader Joe’s or more errands to run after stopping by TJ’s? Ask for a bucket of water for your flowers as soon as you get to the cash register. A team member will need to grab the water from the back and that can take a couple minutes.
Ask for a Box
Buying a large amount of flowers but you have a short drive home? Ask for a wine box to keep your flowers upright and from getting crushed. Trader Joe’s wine boxes are perfect because they’re compartmentalized.
Call Ahead
Looking for a specific variety of flower? Call your local Trader Joe’s and ask if they have any in stock before making the drive to the store. Most of the time, they’ll gladly check the inventory for you.

Thanks for the flowers to avoid if you have pets list! Some pet owners may not realize that some of the flowers- while beautiful isn’t good for their pets. I love hydrangea but I’m also not getting it for this reason. Anyway – thanks for this post!
