Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pie Spice only comes out in the fall. It sells out before Thanksgiving. I missed out year and largely used up the previous year's as its versatility livens up coffee as well as making a useful cinnamon substitute. It's back, so I got a jar. When I took the jar home the cap split and the plastic that separates the cap from the jar dislodged, leaving a sprinkle of spice in the reusable shopping bag. I pack my own groceries at TJ so I cannot point a finger at the cashier, but I would have expected a more durable cap. This is the second that split that way, a previous one when dropped. I taped that one together. This time I moved the good cap from the almost empty Pumpkin Pie Spice jar to the new one and notified TJ on line. However, I now have a fresh jar to last another year or two. The plastics manufacturer will need to design a sturdier cap, especially if TJ insists on it.
