Trader Joe's has increased the price of its bananas from 19 cents to 23 cents, marking the first price hike in over 20 years.
The price adjustment reflects broader inflation trends and rising costs in the grocery sector.
The 19-cent banana was a popular item, voted the top produce item in Trader Joe's 15th Customer Choice Awards.
