Trader Joe's New Mini Tote Bags Have Finally Been Revealed (And They're Sure To Go Fast)
Trader Joe's mini totes have previously whipped fans up into a frenzy, causing chaotic lines at some store locations. Now, the company just released previews of 2026's canvas bags. They'll come in multiple pastel hues, featuring stripes and a border in light shades of blue, green, brown, and pink. Like the name suggests, the convenient totes are mini, so they won't be a drag to carry around — they measure out at 13 inches long, 11 inches tall, and 6 inches wide.
The original version of the mini tote bags was released in 2024 and featured solid blue, yellow, green, and red designs bordering beige canvas. But Trader Joe's signature tote releases have changed throughout the years, even including a Halloween edition. At one point, demand was so high that resellers tried listing Trader Joe's mini totes for $1,000 each. Hopefully not too many people shelled out those prices because hype can cause all sorts of mayhem, but when it comes to fan-favorite grocery store bags, apparently all bets are off.
How much do Trader Joe's new striped pastel mini totes cost?
If you're a fan of these totes, what's most important to note is the date that they are being released — they'll land in stores on June 17 and will sell for $2.99 each. If you're excited about the new canvas bags but worried you won't be able to get to a store in time, Trader Joe's official stance is that it isn't a fan of people reselling them. However, if the past is any indication, the new ones are all but guaranteed to sell out — so mark your calendars.
TJ's insulated mini totes are back, too. The lunchbox-sized bags, available in bright shades of magenta or teal, were released in May and retail for $3.99. The last time insulated mini totes were sold at Trader Joe's was in 2024, and they looked fairly similar to the recent release.
