Trader Joe’s increased banana prices for the first time in over 20 years: ‘This change is necessary’

This is bananas.

For the first time in store history, Trader Joe’s has raised the price of their bananas.

The banana has had the same 19-cent price tag at the grocery store chain for 25 years, but inflation has hit even staple items, leading to a 20% price hike.

Trader Joe’s most popular produce as voted by customers is now being sold for 23 cents.

“We only change our prices when our costs change, and after holding our price for Bananas at 19 cents each for more than two decades, we’ve now reached a point where this change is necessary,” a Trader Joe’s spokesperson told CNN.

The 19-cent banana has long been a point of pride for the grocer, crediting the “unbeatable price” for the widespread love for the product.
