Trader Joe's has brought back its mini version of the popular tote bag, which recently went viral.
These small bags, now highly sought after, are being sold for hundreds on resale sites. However, a Rockville, Maryland store had them for just $2.99, according to TikTok user Nina Daniels.
"There's actually someone monitoring them because people are buying them, apparently like crazy," Daniels shared in her TikTok video. "You guys have a limit of five."

Earlier this year, the bags sold out and now appear on resale sites like eBay, where a set of four goes for $500.
"I am in Hawaii and we have no Trader Joe's here," one TikTok user commented on Daniels' video. "I just want one. I'll pay you to ship it for me, please." Daniels responded, "DM me."
The bags, made of a durable cotton and polyester blend, come in navy, yellow, red, and forest green, according to Trader Joe’s website.
They measure 13 inches long, 11 inches tall, and 6 inches wide—perfect for smaller shopping trips. Trader Joe’s notes that they’re also great for snacks and road trips.
Trader Joe's has had a year of viral hits, including mini insulated tote bags that went viral on social media in June.
These mini tote bags are only available for a limited time, and Trader Joe's stores have started selling out, according to a spokesperson for the retailer.
