People waited in a very long line at the Montrose Trader Joe’s on Tuesday for a chance to purchase recently released mini tote bags in spring pastel colors. The mini totes have become very popular across the country as lines outside Trader Joe’s are recorded in the hundreds throughout the nation. The mini totes each sell for $2.99 but some people are reselling them for a lot more money. On eBay a four tote combination has a price tag of $480; on Poshmark it’s a steal at four for $125; however, for many people it’s just one of those“must haves.”
