Sometimes, the best Costco finds aren’t the products shoppers came looking for.
One Costco member recently stumbled upon an unusual version of a popular item, and fellow shoppers are already joking that the accidental discovery could become a valuable collector’s item.
The shopper shared a photo of the find on Reddit’s Costco community in a thread titled “Majestic upside-down misprint tote,” showing off a white canvas Costco Wholesale tote bag with red trim and one rather noticeable flaw: The retailer’s familiar red-and-blue logo had been printed completely upside down.
“We didn’t need a new tote, but when we saw the misprint we HAD to have it,” the shopper wrote.
And judging by the responses, plenty of other Costco fans would have done exactly the same thing.
Costco Fans Call It an ‘Instant Collector’s Item’
The unusual tote quickly attracted attention from fellow Reddit users, many of whom treated the printing error as a surprisingly desirable feature.
“Instant collector’s item,” one commenter declared.
“Omg it’s magnificent,” another wrote, while someone else called it a “mythical australian tote bag!!”
Others jokingly suggested that the shopper might have stumbled upon something worth preserving.
“Starting bid at $10k,” one person wrote.
The original poster played along, replying, “Maybe I shouldn’t put it in the grass…it is my retirement plan!”
Another commenter suggested taking extraordinary measures to protect the unusual find, writing, “Glass projection with safe humidity levels at this point.”
Not everyone was convinced the bag would actually be worth anything, however. One skeptical commenter pointed out, “It’s a canvas bag.”
Still, several shoppers said they would happily buy a tote with the same mistake, while others compared the discovery to collectible manufacturing errors.
Where Did the Costco Shopper Find the Misprinted Tote?
The original poster explained that the unusual bag wasn’t hidden away or specially displayed. It was simply sitting among the other merchandise at their local warehouse.
“They were just being sold in boxes at the back of our store. Nonchalant near the large freezers,” the shopper wrote.
When another Reddit user asked whether the misprinted bag had really been sitting in the box with the others, the shopper confirmed that it had. The discovery also prompted plenty of jokes about alternative uses for the upside-down tote.
“Not a tote…it’s a hat!” one commenter suggested.
Another offered a practical explanation for the unusual design: “It’s right side up to whomever is holding the bag.”
There’s no indication that Costco intentionally produced the upside-down design or that the bag has any established resale value. But for the shopper who spotted it, the printing error was apparently enough to turn an ordinary shopping accessory into a must-have purchase.
And if the Reddit reactions are any indication, they’re not the only Costco member who would have snapped it up.
