Trader Joe's Halloween Canvas Mini Totes Are On the Way

So RC reader, you use reusable bags right? We hope you’re not still taking plastic bags home from the grocery store and strangling sea turtles to death with them. If you’re in the market for a new one, check out these upcoming Halloween mini totes from Trader Joe’s. While they haven’t been officially revealed yet, Trader Joe’s employees have leaked the price and designs online. It’s only a matter of time before they hit shelves and then eBay shortly after.

You can already feel it in the air. The temperature is dropping, the shadows are getting longer, and the days shorter. Summer is almost over, which means a reseller’s favorite time of the year is quickly approaching.

In just a few short weeks the Halloween season will be in full swing with all kinds of spooky flips reselling for major profits. From gruesome decorations to viral Halloween costumes, we’re expecting to make a lot of money this month.

We’re kicking things off right with a new twist on an old favorite. Trader Joe’s will be producing special seasonal variants of their ultra-popular canvas mini totes. These Halloween bags will be available in four spooky colorways: black, orange, blue, and a multicolored green-black-blue number.

We apologize for the photo quality, but this leaked image is pretty much all we have to go on for now. It was posted to the Trader Joe’s employee subreddit last month, along with the estimated retail price of $2.99.

And that’s almost all the concrete information we have. We’re very confident these will be dropping this month, possibly as soon as this weekend. Trader Joe’s typically rolls out their canvas mini totes as a surprise drop. Like all TJ’s products, these are available for in-store purchase only.

We know what you might be thinking. These are just canvas shopping bags, why the hell are we so interested in them?

Well, this is far from the first time Trader Joe’s has rolled out canvas mini totes, and they’ve become one of the company’s most coveted offerings. We first started covering the limited drops in 2024, and watched as the $3 bags would resell for more than $20 at a time.

Trader Joe’s intentionally drops these in limited quantities for short periods of time. Combined with the viral attention they’ve drawn on social media, it makes for an absolute feeding frenzy when they’re available in stores, enough so that TJ’s had to start enforcing strict quantity limits during restocks.

In April, they produced special Easter-themed pastel variants of the bags that were even more profitable, flipping for up to $30 at a time. You can see how quickly these numbers can add up when a reseller snags several bags in one trip and resells them quickly.

And that’s why we’re so excited for this latest run. We already know that a lot of people are hoping to buy a mini tote, and this is the first time Trader Joe’s has done a Halloween variant. These totes are practically guaranteed to fly off the shelves, and we can’t wait to see what resellers manage to get for them.

Now all that’s left is to watch and wait. These could be dropping at any time in the next weeks, so keep your eyes peeled and pay attention to Trader Joe’s social media.
