You probably know by now that we adore Trader Joe’s. Not only does the grocery store have incredible groceries for a fairly reasonable price, but we’re also huge fans of the other items it carries. From beautiful bouquets to an extensive skincare collection, Trader Joe’s has plenty of fan-favorite products that go beyond just food.

Take, for example, the different types of bags Trader Joe’s sells. They often garner a level of fanaticism unlike any other product it puts out. From its mini canvas totes bags to its cheese-inspired carriers, shoppers are always keeping an eye out for new iterations of their favorite TJ’s shopping bags. And now, Trader Joe’s is bringing back a reusable tote that instantly became a hit overnight after it launched in 2024. Shoppers loved it so much that one person purportedly bought six of them.

Trader Joe's Stand-Up Collapsible Tote Bag Returns

Trader Joe’s Stand-Up Collapsible Tote Bags have been spotted back on store shelves. Unlike the other bags the chain typically puts out, these are sturdier, with solid bottoms that allow the bag to stand up on its own, making them the perfect companion not just for groceries but also for transporting heavier items, like casseroles and pies. The bags are entirely collapsible, which means it’s easier than ever to fold them down and stow them away.

The bags come in two equally adorable designs that play off the idea of night and day. One bag features a deep purple sky and the moon, while the other design features a bright blue sky and palm trees.

“I got it a couple weeks ago and I use it literally every day,” one fan shared on Instagram.

“I bought these last year, and they are legit my favorite reusable grocery bag!” another shopper raved. “They are sturdy and structured and have handles on the side to just pick up your groceries. They fit soooo much, too! I love them!” 

Each bag retails for $3.99. If they’re anything like the mini insulated cooler bags—or any TJ’s shopping bag for that matter—they’re bound to to sell out this year, so make sure to run to your local Trader Joe’s ASAP.
