Fans of Trader Joe’s mini canvas tote bags get an early treat in October.
Trader Joe’s is releasing the latest version of its viral mini tote bag, complete with Halloween-themed colors on Wednesday, Oct. 8, the Reno Gazette Journal confirmed.
Trader Joe’s Halloween mini tote bags will come in four versions.
- All orange
- All purple
- All black
- A multi-colored version with a black body, purple bottom, green handles and orange writing for the Trader Joe’s name

Each store is supposed to receive 250 cases of the Halloween canvas mini tote bags, with each case containing 50 bags, Trader Joe's confirmed.
Typically retailing for $2.99, Trader Joe’s mini tote bags have exploded in popularity due to their limited availability. While Trader Joe’s frowns upon reselling them, the mini tote bags command anywhere from $20 to $1,000 when resold online. Trader Joe’s also likes to release them in new color variants.
This April, for example, Trader Joe’s released a mini tote bag in pastel colors just before Easter. The mini pastel canvas tote bag attracted a crowd, who swarmed the pile of bags on display at a south Reno Trader Joe’s as soon as the store opened.
