- An eagle-eyed Instagram user spotted Trader Joe’s mini tote dupes in Hawaii, and fans are going wild over them.<\/li>\n
- The dupes are slightly pricier than the TJ’s version at $9.99, but considering resale totes are going for thousands, it might be a steal.<\/li>\n
- Commenters on the post shared that they’ve found similar dupes at other stores like Ross and Safeway, as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nIt’s kind of wild that something sold at Trader Joe’s that isn’t even food can cause such a frenzy\u2014and yet, here we are, talking about tote bags like they’re collectibles. When the chain’s mini tote bags rolled out two years ago, they caused chaos in stores, and last year, they were selling out left and right. People even spotted listings on eBay priced as high as $1 million. Suffice it to say, the ubiquitous TJ’s totes are pretty darn popular. <\/p>\n
So when a Trader Joe’s superfan Instagram account recently posted a photo of a much more affordable dupe ($9.99 is a steal compared to these resale prices), the internet went wild
<\/p>\n\n “YES I NEED THESE,” exclaimed one commenter. “Omg I have the pink one I need to collect them all,” shared another. <\/p>\n
\n “A lot of the stores have their own versions now! I just bought some from Safeway and Whole Foods in Hawaii,” one person wrote. <\/p>\n
Many commenters said they’ve spotted similar tote dupes at other stores, too\u2014and some even claimed the quality is on par with the original. However, not everyone was fully sold. Some people took issue with the price: Trader Joe’s mini totes are $2.99 in-store, while these dupes were retailing for $9.99. Still, it’s worth noting that products in Hawaii tend to be pricier than their mainland counterparts. <\/p>\n
Regardless, for anyone who can’t make it to Trader Joe’s, these might just be the answer to your tote bag dreams. Or, you know, dupes on Amazon. <\/p>\n
