The $3.99 mini coolers are the latest popular item at Trader Joe’s, following the mini canvas tote bags that were a big hit earlier this year.
Bags Sell Out Quickly
Both the insulated and canvas tote bags sold out fast. People are reselling them online for much more money.
On Tuesday, there were 131 listings on eBay for “Trader Joe’s mini cooler bag,” with some priced as high as $200.
New Mini Coolers Coming
Trader Joe’s said that “a limited number of magenta and teal mini insulated totes will be available in most Trader Joe’s stores tomorrow.”
Store Limits and Hours
The cooler bags came out in early June, causing many shoppers to line up hours before the stores opened like they did for Stanley cups earlier this year. The 1.5-gallon bags have a zipper top and can be used as a lunchbox or for everyday use. Most Trader Joe’s stores open at 8 am or 9 am local time every day.
