Trader Joe's is a popular place to shop for inexpensive, in-house products from frozen meals to snacks (the quirky retailer famously sells individual bananas for 23 cents apiece). Each year, customers vote for which products should be in the "Product Hall of Fame," which features favorites like tubs of Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and blocks of Unexpected Cheddar. It's also a great place for fresh flowers and cheap wine.

Coveted Trader Joe's mini tote bags that resell for up to $50K are returning to stores this fall
Trader Joe's viral mini tote bags are up for grabs. The grocery store chain confirmed to USA Today that it plans to bring back its beloved bag for the fall season. While a spokesperson for Trader Joe's declined to give any more information regarding colors, price or when the totes hit stores again, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported last week that the bags will be available in black, orange, purple and multicolored. It was also reported that the bite-sized bags will stay priced at $2.99. It's expected that some store locations will limit how many bags each customer can purchase, as they did with the former mini tote bag drops. Trader Joe's advised customers to ask a Crew Member in their neighborhood store about availability. The last batch of mini totes was released in April for Spring in pastel shades of blue, pink, purple and green. In March 2024, the 13x11x6-inch carriers quickly became a sensation, prompting die-hard Joe-heads to wait in long lines just to get their hands on one. They were even being resold on eBay at astronomical prices due to the high demand. As of the time of reporting, the Spring-colored mini totes are listed on eBay for an eye-popping $50,000. That's a big increase in price compared to the most expensive listing on eBay the week they were released, which was a single tote bag in pastel pink for $1,699. The Reno Gazette-Journal reported last week that the bags will be available in black, orange, purple and multicolored. AP Photo/Christina Paciolla 'The adorable totes in question are made of the same heavy-duty, 65% cotton/35% polyester blend as our larger, classic Canvas Bags,' the product page for the Mini Canvas Tote Bag said — noting that the bags also have the same 'long, comfortable handles.' The only real difference, the company stated, is the diminutive size. While the mini canvas tote bags are not yet available, Trader Joe's is currently selling the mini insulated totes. The insulated bags are about the size of a lunch box and are available in two colors, blue and peach, for $3.99 each. In March 2024, the totes quickly became a sensation — with customers waiting in long lines just to get their hands on one. Mark Kauzlarich/Bloomberg via Getty Images Trader Joe's mini tote bags have even made their way across the pond — even without a single location in Britain, Trader Joe's bags have become a must-have accessory. One girl on TikTok said that since she moved to London, she's noticed that so many people carry Trader Joe's bags — and claimed that she's seen more there than she did in America. And while many people on social media seem confused why an American thing is so popular in London, it seems as though the American aspect of it is part of the draw. 'It's a subtle flex that you've been to America,' one person commented on a TikTok.
