A recent viral TikTok video has caused a frenzy among Trader Joe’s shoppers over the release of limited-time mini canvas tote bags. Priced at just $2.99 each, the bags are nearly identical to the popular grocery chain’s original canvas totes.
The video, which shows a crowd of eager shoppers scrambling to grab the mini tote bags as soon as they were brought out by Trader Joe’s staff, has sparked a surge in demand for the sought-after items. Some eBay users have even been selling the bags for as much as $500, despite their original price of just $3.
The mini tote bags feature the same handles and colors as the regular canvas bags but are smaller in size. Due to the overwhelming response to the bags, Trader Joe’s has implemented a limit of five bags per person to ensure that more customers have the opportunity to purchase them.
This viral craze has drawn comparisons to the frenzied rush for Stanley’s special edition 40-ounce tumblers at Target earlier this year. Customers who are interested in snagging one of these mini Trader Joe’s tote bags are advised to contact their local store for current availability and pricing.
