PEOPLE GOING CRAZY ..... FOR A TOTE BAG... | Trader Joe's mini tote bag

Another thing no one needs, causing mass panic and cues of people at 3am . the trader joes mini tote bag

[@emergencyasmr]

Every time I see people losing it over cups, cheap canvas tote bags and whatever the new product is next week it makes me feel like maybe I’m doing better mentally than I give myself credit for

[@serenityheadley7065]

“Where’s your Stanley going to go now?” 😂. The perfect sentence to encapsulate the kind of person who is going to be obsessed with owning or reselling these ridiculous, practically unusable, - can’t really be classified as a tote - bag.

[@marshalllee7379]

The way it was cut too 😂

[@ellenkarlsson9490]

You have to hold your Stanley so everyone can see it. Otherwise what's the point of having a Stanley? If no one will see it you might as well buy a resonable priced bottle without lead in it.

I feel like these bags would be fun to use for a Trader Joe's snack-goodie bag for friends who don't live near a Trader Joe's. Other than that, I don't really see a proper use for such small totes. I did a snack trade with online friends, and many requested Trader Joe goodies.

I kinda disagree. view collecting as overconsumption.

My parents have too many reusable bags for me to even justify buying one, especially a mini version. My parents also have a TJ's cooler bag, which is very large, and a (different brand) tote-bag sized cooler bag. I just can't justify buying another re-usable good when the ones at home are perfect.

The big Trader Joe’s totes are great. I got mine about 2 years ago and it’s held up perfectly.

The TJ bag is canvas with thick straps, I can normally fit all my groceries in 2 of the bags, and I can still carry them easily. I’m not very strong and I live in a 4th floor apartment, so having a good grocery bag makes a world of difference.

[@hazardsigns]

Got a canvas tote from Waterstones, maybe 6+ years ago. As it was designed for books, it's longer than it is wide and it can carry a HEAVY load (think 24 cans of soda stacked upright, with room to spare). Has a print of scientific fern diagrams on the front and it is my favourite throw around bag ever! It's great for electronics and items from the store you want to remain upright in the bag. I have a second, wider canvas bag in petrol blue, that I got to pair with the fern bag, for bigger shops. It's about 5 years old. I am satisfied with these bags and do not need to buy another canvas tote. Until the sun-death of our solar system, I believe these bags will still be intact and able to fulfil their roles.

[@KittyKraftStudio]

I don't get these bags, I feel like too many people were just buying them gonna FOMO or thinking they could resell them, not because they actually liked them I have a decent amount of tote bags, but I always forget them for grocery shopping. I use the plastic bags as trash bags for my rabbit and cat litter boxes. I use tote bags mostly for crochet and knitting projects, carrying stuff to work, carrying stuff when fishing, etc. 😆 But those mini bags would only work for a very small crochet project.

[@denaemichele]
