Trader Joe’s just dropped its limited edition Trick-or-Treat mini canvas totes, and the spooky sacks are already vanishing.

Shoppers bundled in sweaters started lining up outside the Trader Joe’s in Claremont, beginning at 4:45 a.m. on Wednesday. For weeks, cashiers had been tight-lipped about when the Halloween-themed mini totes would be available for purchase, but news spread quickly in recent days that Oct. 8 would be the big day, and mini tote fanatics planned accordingly.

“We were going to actually get here at 5:30, but then I was just tossing and turning, so I decided ‘Oh, let’s just leave,’ Sylvia Ramirez said. She and her roommate, Debbie, were the first in line at the location. “I missed the Easter ones with the pastels. I wasn’t gonna miss this one — they’re so cute!”
