The new insulated totes might be some of the cutest that Trader Joe’s has released yet. Although they’re different from the usual mini totes, these vibrant colors are sure to brighten up your summer. 

The new mini totes bags are available in several colors and designs including two striped versions, one pink and red and the other blue and green, as well as four solid colors with a silhouette of the Trader Joe’s store and palm trees. The solid colored bags will be available in orange, green, blue and purple. 

These new, vibrant colors are sure to catch the attention of everyone and add a summery pop of color to any outfit. A Trader Joe’s spokesperson shared a bit behind the reason for the colors. 

Many of our customers have also found that they make quite a statement when used to carry your lunch along to school or work,” a spokesperson shared. “Just be sure to pick up a Tote while you can—supplies are limited.”

How much do the insulated totes cost?

Trader Joe’s previously released a similar line in different colors, featuring bags in teal and magenta. Now, they’re back and better than ever. But if you’re worried about having to break the bank to grab one of these stunning mini totes—don’t. The store is selling these mini totes for just $3.99 each, so you can grab one to enjoy for the season. 

Due to the popularity of the mini tote, customers may only be allowed to purchase one so others can also get their hands on them, so make sure to get the color you want. However, the quantity varies depending on the store. 

When do the totes come out?

The insulated mini totes will be available in stores beginning on Wednesday, May 20. Get ready to obsess over another round of mini totes and line up at stores because these are going to be a hit!
