The people who work there are very friendly, the cashiers and everything.

So I'm a fan, right?

Now, Trader Joe's sells canvas tote bags because obviously in the state of the world that we live in right now, in the United States, plastic is the enemy, right?

There's nothing worse than a plastic grocery bag.

We're not allowed to do that.

If you live in New York, you know, those are banned.

New Jersey, those are banned, right?

No plastic anywhere.

So Trader Joe's, among other grocery store brands, provide canvas tote bags that are for purchase so that it's supposed to be reusable.

You buy this bag and then you bring it back.

That is your grocery bag.

And Trader Joe's bags have unintentionally become this like international status symbol.

So here's the headline.

Trader Joe's $3 tote bags are selling for up to $50,000 overseas.

So these Trader Joe's bags, they're kind of like the L.L.

Bean bag where it's a canvas tote with an embroidered logo on it.

They're being resold on eBay, Depop, and other secondhand markets for up to $50,000, some $10,000 and in between there.

That's not to say that people are buying them at $50,000, but people are listing them for $50,000.

But people might be buying them for $50.

That's crazy, right?
