Fans of Trader Joe's won't need to resort to an eBay auction to get their hands on the chain's new mini tote bags.
The $2.99 canvas bags quickly became a viral sensation when they were released earlier this month, with shoppers snatching them off shelves as soon as they were made available.
The totes — which are just a slightly smaller version of Trader Joe's classic canvas bag — have been so popular that some Trader Joe's locations even put limits on how many bags customers could purchase.
"We had actually hundreds of thousands of bags come in and go out within a week," he said.
The popular bags come in four colors: green, red, yellow and blue.
