Trader Joe’s viral mini tote bag is back in stock — this time with a festive new design
Trader Joe’s Viral Mini Tote Bags Return for Halloween—and Fans Are Already Buzzing
Trader Joe’s cult-favorite mini canvas tote bags are making a spooky comeback this fall, just in time for Halloween. After months of silence, the grocery chain confirmed to Today that the pint-sized carriers will be back in stores starting October 8, reigniting the frenzy that made them a viral sensation earlier this year.
A Halloween Twist on a Fan Favorite
The Halloween edition of the mini totes will be available in four festive colorways: solid black, solid orange, solid purple, and a multicolor option featuring black, orange, green, and purple. Priced at just $2.99, the bags retain their signature size—13 x 11 x 6 inches—and are made from the same durable 65% cotton/35% polyester blend as Trader Joe’s classic canvas bags. According to the product page, they also feature “long, comfortable handles,” making them ideal for everyday use or trick-or-treating.
Limited Quantities and High Demand
Given the bags’ viral popularity during their spring release in pastel shades, Trader Joe’s is expected to limit purchases per customer to prevent hoarding and reselling. Back in March 2024, the mini totes sparked long lines and sold out within hours at many locations. Some were even resold online for hundreds—and in rare cases, thousands—of dollars, with listings on eBay reportedly reaching up to $50,000 for complete sets (Insider, 2024).
A Collector’s Craze
The mini totes have become more than just grocery accessories—they’re collector’s items. Fans, affectionately known as “Joe-heads,” have taken to social media to showcase their tote collections, swap colors, and share styling tips. The bags have even gained traction internationally, with Trader Joe’s-branded totes spotted in fashion circles across the UK, despite the chain having no physical stores there.
Seasonal Hype and Fall Favorites
The Halloween drop coincides with Trader Joe’s annual rollout of fall-themed products, including pumpkin spice cookies, maple-flavored snacks, and autumnal beverages. As Bon Appétit noted in its fall roundup, “Trader Joe’s knows how to turn seasonal shopping into a full-blown experience.”
Amid the excitement, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently issued a warning about a potential listeria outbreak linked to products sold at Trader Joe’s and Walmart. While the mini totes are unaffected, shoppers are advised to stay informed and check product recalls before purchasing perishables (CDC, 2025).
How to Get One
Customers eager to snag a Halloween mini tote should check with crew members at their local Trader Joe’s for availability. Supplies are expected to vary by location, and early arrival may be key to securing one before they vanish again.
Conclusion: A Tote-ally Terrific Treat
Whether you’re a longtime Trader Joe’s fan or just looking for a festive accessory, the return of the mini canvas tote bags is a welcome surprise. Affordable, adorable, and undeniably viral, these bags are poised to be the must-have item of the season—again.
