On Monday, I made a Trader Joe’s run. Can it be? “Two Buck Chuck” is no longer. Apparently inflation and the cost of making wine has caught up with my favorite $1.99 bottle of wine. I knew it couldn’t stay two bucks forever, but Two Buck Chuck is now $2.49 a bottle. Still a steal for a decent bottle of wine. Their Chardonnay is one of my favorites and has been for awhile.
Today, I read a few articles and it appears the word is out on the price increase. It’s okay, I’m still going to buy my 2.5 buck Chuck.

We have no Trader Joe’s near me- in fact, I’ve never seen one, but next week I’ll be making my biweekly trek to BJ’s, where for the first time, I’ll be trying their version of the 2 buck chuck.
