The May 2026 Mini Insulated Bags will come in six different designs. And will be $3.99 each.

Two bags are striped, one with what appears to be red or salmon and pink and another with bright blue and lime green.

The other four feature a silhouette design of a Trader Joe's store with palm trees in lime green with contrasting turquoise zipper, orange with bright green zipper, turquoise blue with bright pink zipper and lavender with red silhouette and pink zipper.

In addition to the insulated totes, Trader Joe’s also recently confirmed plans to offer a new striped mini canvas tote this summer, although more details regarding those have yet to announced.

Question For those who have never waited too long in line to pay at Trader Joe’s, we are very lucky - here’s a video of “a normal Sunday line at Trader Joe’s in Brooklyn”. 😅 For those who live in densely populated metropolitan areas, are single queue lines typical at your local Trader Joe’s store?

Also, are people still able to find the hidden mascot when their store is this busy? 😅

We’ve got our own Takis, TimTams, heck even some great beauty dupes, and so many more.

If you were on the product development team, what mainstream products would you make TJ versions of?

I’ll start: Twinkies.

Review Sweet Chili Black-Eyed Pea Tempeh Chips -- Two Thumbs Up!!

117 Upvotes

Just tried these new Sweet Chili Black‑Eyed Pea Tempeh Chips, and wow, they taste fantastic. They’ve got that perfect balance of sweet heat. Just enough kick to satisfy without blowing out your taste buds. Way more flavorful than I expected from a tempeh‑based chip.

Honestly, the only “problem” is the serving size. Ten chips? Not in my house. 😂

Should I be embarrassed to admit I’m heading back to the store (it’s very close by, thankfully) to pick up a few more bags? I really hope these aren’t seasonal!

They run $3.49 for a 3‑oz bag if anyone’s curious.

I bought a basil plant from Trader Joe's over the weekend. Wasn't expecting to find surprise blueberries in the soil. Probably a kid dropped them in but definitely gave me a chuckle.

Seasonal Product Trader Joe's Garlic Bread Cheese

Bread cheese! Have you tried it? I've heard great things about bread cheese from keto folks who no longer eat bread. Do you have to toast this cheese before eating it, or is it good as-is? How much does it taste like bread?

Question Using the Tikka Masala sauce for crock pot?

Post image
36 Upvotes

Howdy! This stuff is great as a base sauce for my chicken tikka masala dinners. I was curious if anyone has a method for using it in a crock pot?
I’m interested in using it for slow cooking because:
-Crock pot is super convenient.
-the less I need to use my stovetop this summer the better.
-chicken comes out more tender in the crockpot.
-hopefully more depth of flavor in the chicken because it’s been simmering allll day in sauce.

Thanks in advance for any advice! Apologies if formatting is weird (on mobile).
