The New Trader Joe’s Peach Insulated Bags Are Officially Here 

Trader Joes is known for more than just their groceries. Their viral tote bags have become a sort of cult classic, perfectly balancing fashion and function. The spring pastel mini totes have gotten super popular lately. People everywhere are rushing to the stores to find a trendy tote, perfect for a day or night out, in the color of their choice. 

If you didn’t manage to get your hands on one of these totes, don’t fret: Trader Joe’s has more bags on the way. Along with totes, their line of insulated bags just got a new color added to the collection, and it brings the perfect summer vibes. 

What are the insulated bags from Trader Joe’s?

Trader Joe’s insulated bags have thick lining to keep things inside cool, sturdy zippers, reinforced straps, and a spacious interior that fits everything you need in one place. This, along with the reasonable price of $7.99 for the large ones ($4 for the minis), makes them an obvious choice — all the more reason to hurry to the store and find one. 

The bags were originally intended for groceries that required more temperature control, but over time people have taken a liking to the look of their designs. Often featuring seasonal designs and colors, the insulated bags fly off the shelves when each new rendition is released. They can be used for picnics, beach days, or a simple lunch tote; these bags have practically any purpose in the book. In the past, they’ve been released in pink, purple, blue, green, black, and many more options. Now for this summer, they’ve released a new peach color. 

Are the Trader Joe’s peach insulated bags in stores now?

The new peach insulated bag has finally arrived at the store today, May 6, and people are thrilled. This bag is a blush peach color with the classic palm tree design in pink, the lighter peach color lining the interior. 

On Reddit, the lively r/traderjoes community is similarly excited about the new color launch, many people rushing to the store as soon as the initial post about the new product dropped. People swear by these bags, sometimes collecting multiple versions for their different daily needs. 

What’s next? 

According to users on the peach bag’s Reddit thread, these bags will also have a mini version coming out soon, so keep your eyes peeled! User @traderjoesobsessed on Instagram updates on each new bag drop, and the peach bag isn’t where it ends. This summer a new light blue color will hit the stores in both the large and the mini versions. The smaller versions might not fit all your groceries, but they’re great for packing snacks or lunches on the go, especially cold food that will get bad in the summer heat.
