Users would need to be able to achieve primary use cases such as finding and organizing recipes.
The discover menu also gives users an additional opportunity to be pleasantly surprised by the discovery of new items.
Where most shopping apps require manual item entry or have a generic database, a Trader Joe's specific application would be able to auto-fill directly from the store's inventory.
Access to this data would also help avoid users going over budget or expecting to buy an item that is out of stock, two of the principle pain points identified in research.

Attract more business by providing unique value propositions.
More customers complete more of their shopping at Trader Joe's
A large number of users use the Trader Joe's app to manage their shopping
