School is out of session for many students. Summer is finally kicking off. And grilling season is well underway. There's much to look forward to in June, and Trader Joe's is here to help you enjoy the season with plenty of exciting new items.

The popular grocery chain has updated its inventory by adding an array of intriguing new items to the shelves. These range from barbecue-friendly items like turkey burgers to sweet treats like chocolate-covered nuts. And we can't forget about the viral Mini Insulated Tote Bags that have been flying off the shelves.

Before heading to TJ's, you'll want to keep several products in mind. Here are some top items to look out for when you swing by the store this month. As with anything from Trader Joe's, it's unclear how long these products will be available, so you'll want to snag them soon.

As previously mentioned, the new Mini Insulated Tote Bags have shoppers flocking to TJ's. Available for $3.99, each bag comes in teal or magenta and features an insulating material that keeps groceries cool. You can use the bag as a lunchbox or to carry your snacks to the beach. But you'll want to visit TJ's soon because stores are selling out of the bags. People are even reselling them for much more than the listed price. We're talking nearly $100 in some cases. If your local TJ's has already sold out of the bags, you may not be completely out of luck, however. A rep says the limited-edition bags could return again in July.
