Trader Joe’s Just Brought Back the $4 Mini Insulated Totes (I'm Grabbing Both!)
If you are a loyal Trader Joe’s fan, then you know that their shoppers obsess over the merch drops just as much as their new food releases. Just last month, the grocer announced the re-release of the famous mini totes. People waited in lines to get their hands on one after they sold out in February. Now, the popular grocery store is back with another drop involving their insulated bags.
Trader Joe’s mini insulated bags are just as much of an “it girl” as the highly sought-after totes. When the store first dropped the item in magenta and teal hues, shoppers wiped them from the shelves. Some people went as far as reselling them on eBay for upwards of $1000 for a four-pack, which ended up getting purchased.
On October 16, Trader Joe’s released another batch of mini insulated bags in two new festive shades: red and emerald green. You can snag one for $3.99.
These bags are not only adorable but functional. They’re designed with an insulated coating to help keep beverages, snacks, or any type of food cool. You can use it as a lunch box to pack your delicious sandwiches or homemade creamy smoothies, and bring them on your commute to work. You can also fill them with hearty treats for those long road trips or hikes.
Shoppers are already racing to Trader Joe’s to get their hands on these seasonal totes. One person documented their journey to the grocery store and mentioned that fans have “been calling for the past two months” to get more details on this release. When the TikToker got there, luckily, there was no long line.
One person commented on the TikTok post documenting this journey, saying, “I was so excited to score one today! The guy was surprised I didn’t buy up to the limit of four. But the reason I didn’t get one last round was from the people buying four at a time.”
Specific locations are limiting bag purchases so that everyone can have a fair shot at securing one. But if you’ve been counting down the days to get your hands on one of these mini insulated bags, we recommend heading to your nearest Trader Joe’s as quickly as you can because there is a chance that they may sell out again. They’re so festive and ideal for transporting holiday leftovers this season, so snag one soon.
