Meet the teeny tote taking over social media
Mini containers are all the rage this year, so it’s no wonder the new release at Lowe’s is exciting customers! Lowe’s already sells plenty of their name-brand Project Source storage totes in a wide variety of sizes. The heavy-duty containers are also stackable, which makes them a great option when you need to use several in one space.
Until now, the smallest size available has been a 5-gallon tote for $8.98—an ideal size for storing cleaning supplies and gardening tools. But this new tote is not only cheaper at $2.28, it has the “cute” factor too!
A Facebook post by Hip2Save shows the Lowe’s teeny totes for sale at one location, with each roughly the size of a tub of butter. (Like their larger counterparts, these are also stackable!) “Look how cute these are! Just the right size for trinkets, desk supplies, my patience…” the original poster shared.
Shoppers are obsessed with the Lowe’s new mini tote
Many shoppers have been surprised by the unexpected find, but based on the reactions to the Facebook post, it won’t take long for customers to snatch these up.
“I don’t need these. Why do I want like 10 of them?” one person commented.
Others are already planning their Lowe’s run to snag one for themselves. “I’m on my way for this!” shared another.
If you’re wondering how to get your hands on one, keep reading—we’ve got all the details!
Here’s how to snag your own teeny tote
Right now, the totes are only available for purchase in-store. One TikTok video shows a display located near the equally viral Lowe’s mini buckets—so if you’re heading to your local store, check that area first.
While several posts and videos have been shared by customers finding the teeny totes, not everyone has been lucky! In one video posted on TikTok, the creator said they only saw the buckets at their local store.
A spokesperson for Lowe’s confirmed to Woman’s World that the teeny tote has very limited availability in stores right now. A full in-store rollout is planned for mid-December, so you will be able to get one eventually. If you do see one at your neighborhood Lowe’s, you may want to snatch it up so you don’t have to wait!
