Free stickers for kids at Trader Joe's - Just ask next time you shop there!

Currently, Trader Joe's has St. Patrick's Day stickers.

Wearing of the green! Don't have anything green...shop Trader Joe's and ask for a free "This sticker is my green. Go pinch someone else" sticker! They have a variety of St. Patrick's Day stickers for the kids that are a little more appropriate, but I thought that was funny so I wanted to mention it! May not be available at all locations, but ask and see.
