One of Trader Joe's most popular products has just gotten its first-ever price increase.
The popular grocery store chain recently raised the price of its individually-sold bananas by roughly 20%, to 23 cents from 19 cents.
Trader Joe's bananas have cost 19 cents apiece since the chain first started selling them individually back in 2001.
The never-changing price tag became a selling point for the fruit, with signage at some Trader Joe's locations boasting about the store's refusal to increase the cost of potassium-rich produce.
The 19-cent bananas have proved so popular over the years that they recently made the Trader Joe's Product Hall of Fame.
