Availability is wildly inconsistent, and TJ’s doesn’t allow online shopping

The Trader Joe’s Halloween mini totes are hitting stores today. We’ve seen past seasonal variants flip for borderline ridiculous profits. If history repeats itself, these things won’t last long. Hit the gas.

Head to TJ's Now

Want to make some money? Get to your local Trader Joe’s right now if you can! These mini totes typically sit near the register or in seasonal displays up front.

Store limits vary by location. Some Trader Joe’s cap purchases at 2-4 bags per customer, while others don’t enforce limits until stock gets low. If you’re planning to grab multiple bags, hit several locations throughout the day.

Trader Joe's Canvas Totes Resell

Don’t sleep on this. Trader Joe’s continues to churn out limited edition reusable bags, with their pastel Easter editions and canvas mini totes flipping for 10x profits shortly after their release.

Let’s talk numbers. At $2.99 retail and conservative resale estimates of $25-30 once they sell out, you’re looking at roughly $15-20 profit per bag after eBay’s 13% fees and shipping costs. List them for $30-40 initially while supply is tight, then adjust based on how fast your local market sold out.

eBay is your best bet for these. Facebook Marketplace works for local sales if you want to avoid shipping, but you’ll get lower prices. Mercari is hit or miss for Trader Joe’s items.

The real money comes from grabbing multiples. If you can source 10-20 bags across different stores, that’s $150-400 profit for a morning of driving around. Not life-changing, but solid money for minimal effort.

Caveat Resellor

Keep in mind that Trader Joe’s is final sale only, so if these somehow don’t resell (unlikely based on historical data), you’re stuck with $2.99 Halloween totes. Given past performance and the cult following around TJ’s seasonal items, the risk is pretty minimal here.

The bigger risk is availability. If your area only has one or two Trader Joe’s locations and they sell out fast, you might not get enough inventory to make it worth your time. Regional availability varies wildly with Trader Joe’s drops.

This is one of those low-risk, decent-profit opportunities that newer resellers should absolutely jump on. The barrier to entry is under $3 per bag, past data supports strong resale demand, and you’ll know within a week if you scored or not.

Map out your Trader Joe’s route and get moving. These won’t sit around waiting for you.
