Trader Joe’s confirmed to The U.S. Sun that the mini canvas totes will hit stores nationwide on October 8.
The totes will be priced at $2.99 each.
The totes come in four designs, black, orange, purple and a multi-colored bag with a black base, green strap and purple bottom.
The multi-color bag also features the signature Trader Joe’s logo in orange.

The totes are made of a heavy duty cotton and polyester blend, just like the grocer’s larger Canvas Bags.
The “totes adorbs” bags are 13 inches long, 11 inches tall and six inches wide, the retailer said.
TOTE USES
“The size is ideal for smaller shopping trips, to pick up those few items you forgot the first time around,” the retailer’s website says.
“It’ll fit a dozen of your favorite TJ’s apples, or you can fill your Mini Tote with TJ’s snacks & sweets to keep you munching on your next road trip.”
The bags first released as mostly white-colored totes with navy, yellow, red and forest green on the bottoms and handles of the bag.
The store later released a pastel line for a limited time.
Trader Joe’s said they were “so pleasantly surprised” by shoppers’ reactions to the first wave of totes that they launched a new line with spring colors.
The pastel bags came in blue, pink, purple and green.
Because of the totes’ popularity, Trader Joe’s had to set a limit on the amount of totes customers could buy during the pastel release, per USA TODAY.
Shoppers looking to get their hands on the totes should get to their local store early to secure them at retail price.
RESELLERS GALORE
People on eBay have been reselling the previously released bags for up to $100.
