There Are Three New Trader Joe’s Insulated Bags Coming This Spring

Now that spring has sprung, it’s officially time for picnics, doing homework outside, and just enjoying simple moments in the sun. When it comes to packing snacks for springtime activities, the most important thing is a good, durable cooler bag or picnic basket – especially the Trader Joe’s insulated bags. If you missed out on the pink and lavender mini cooler bag drop for Valentine’s Day, you’re in luck. Rumor has it that there will be two brand new colors of Trader Joe’s insulated bags just in time for spring. With so much buzz over previous mini tote and cooler bag drops alike, we can’t help but anticipate what the new Trader Joe’s insulated bags will look like. 

What are the new Trader Joe’s mini bag colors?

Avid followers of the fan-favorite grocery chain keep tabs on new product releases, and hundreds of customers will wait hours in line for the new colors. Just recently, TJ’s announced a restock of the TikTok viral mini canvas tote bag coming in brand new spring pastels like pink, blue, green, and purple. The incoming refresh and adorable color palette has fans in a chokehold, with many already voicing their excitement and anticipation of the new bags on social media — but what happens when you need to keep things cold?

While fans are amped about the new Trader Joe’s mini canvas totes, the grocery store may have even more mini tricks up its sleeve. According to Instagram user Shannon Fong, who goes by @traderjoesobsessed online and also broke the news about the pastel mini totes, Trader Joe’s is releasing not one, but two new mini insulated bags for spring, plus a brand new large cooler bag as well. 

What colors are the new Trader Joe’s insulated bags?

For this newest drop, Trader Joe’s is veering away from spring pastels and potentially into warmer tones. According to Fong, “blue and peach mini insulated bags will be coming in spring,” along with peach large insulated bags on the same date. 

Her followers definitely appreciated the update, and many are freaking out about the new colors. User @wholefoodssnacks commented “peach sounds pretty!” and user @lunasibai shared “can’t wait for the blue and peach!!”

While Fong didn’t share the exact shade of blue, Trader Joe’s has previously done teal and pastel blue insulated bags, so there is potential for different shades like sky blue, aqua, or navy. Regardless of exact hues, customers are itching to see what the product looks like in both colors.

What sizes are the new Trader Joe’s insulated bags?

While everything is better fun-sized, Trader Joe’s understands that practicality is important too. The mini insulated bag is available in both the blue and peach shades, and typically retails for $4. Plus, there will be a new large Trader Joe’s insulated bag in peach, too — perfect for those monthly grocery runs and restocking Chicken Potstickers and Brownie Crisp Ice Cream Sandwiches. The larger bags tend to sell for $8. 

How can I get a new Trader Joe’s insulated bag?

While an April 7 release date has been confirmed for the TJ’s mini canvas tote restock, there’s no exact word on when the new Trader Joe’s cooler bags will arrive. Even though we’re on the edge of our seats for now, Trader Joe’s emphasizes a customer-focused experience and positive environment, so you can’t go wrong politely asking a crew member if they have any information about the drop. For now, I’ll be planning a TJ’s run for April 7 to score a mini canvas bag, and hopefully learn more about the insulated bag release date too.
