A TRADER Joe’s employee has confirmed the restocking of a popular bag for a limited time.
The retailer’s mini “cooler” bags sold like wildfire earlier this year at just $3.99 each.

Known as the Mini Insulated Tote Bag, they are about the size of a lunchbox, holding 1.5 gallons of food and drinks, and are offered in multiple color options with a unique storefront design on the outside.
After selling out almost instantly when they were released in June, Trader Joe’s offered another round in July.
Some stores in California saw lines outside the store to get their hands on the mini coolers, and Trader Joe’s even had to implement a limit on how many could be bought per customer.
Color options in the mini coolers have included teal and magenta, but different options are on the way soon, according to a post from influencer KosherTraderJoes (@koshertraderjoes) on Instagram.

They told customers that after speaking to employees at their local store, Trader Joe’s is seemingly prepping for another release of mini cooler bags.
This time, the colors will include lavender and pink.
“Brand new Insulated Mini Tote color has been launched!” the influencer exclaimed.
“Lavender and pink! Pastel season!”
“I don’t have a drop date, but stick around for more updates!” they added.
COLOR CHAOS
Others demanded more information about other potential color options, and a customer who spoke to employees at their local Trader Joe’s claimed to have the answer.
“A TJ’s employee showed me yesterday that Red and Green Mini Insulated Totes are coming end of this month or beginning of October!” they wrote in a comment.
KosherTraderJoes replied and confirmed the colors.
Customers should seemingly expect to see the Insulated Mini Tote color variations start to pop up in October.
There are also full-sized Insulated Totes, but it’s unknown when those will return.
Trader Joe’s Mini Insulated Tote
Trader Joe’s warned shoppers that the totes are always a limited release and won’t be around forever.
The bags are made of insulated material to keep snacks, drinks, and groceries cool.
They’re the perfect size to be used as a lunchbox for school or work.
“Just be sure to pick up a Tote or two while you can— supplies are limited, and they’re sure to fly off the shelves,” Trader Joe’s warns on its website.
TOTE TAKEOVER
Trader Joe’s also re-launched another viral tote on September 18.
The Mini Canvas Tote Bag has been flying off shelves at a low price of $2.99.
It was first introduced in February and quickly became popular among shoppers.
Now they’re back in four colors — navy, yellow, red, and forest green.
Trader Joe’s calls the Mini Canvas Tote Bag ideal for “picking up those few items you forgot the first time around.”
Shoppers who frequent the retailer were also left screaming “wow” after a drink made with rice on shelves.
A new seasonal dessert at Trader Joe’s has also been flying off shelves.
