Trader Joe's Tote Bags Sell Out Quickly In Bergen, Hudson Counties, But Will Return Soon

NORTH JERSEY, NJ — The new striped tote bags at Trader Joe's drew a long line at their Hoboken and Paramus locations when they debuted on Wednesday morning, selling out quickly — and they're coming back.

The popular summer striped summer totes are made of cotton and polyester and retail for just $2.99, making them a popular find before summer vacation.

The 2026 totes could already be found re-selling on ebay for more than $50 by Thursday.

If you wanted to get one, not all is lost.

Store employees at both the Hoboken and Paramus locations said they expect another shipment Thursday evening, although depending on the timing, they may not be available until the next morning.

"The Striped Canvas Mini Totes are a limited-time product," said company spokeswoman Nadia Rohde. "Each store will have different availability. If customers have questions about availability, they should ask the friendly crew members in their neighborhood Trader Joe’s store."

She added, "Our buyers travel the world searching for products we think are exceptional and will find a following among our customers. The totes are a recent example of their efforts."

Trader Joe's is popular for its variety of fresh and frozen ingredients.

The grocery store has North Jersey locations in Hoboken, Paramus (Route 17), Clifton, Edgewater, and Westfield.

They will be getting new stores in Jersey City, Montvale, Parsippany, and West Orange in the future, the company has confirmed. Rohde said only the West Orange store will open this year.
