Trader Joe’s Limited-Edition Mystery Bags Are Finally Back, and People Are Buying 9 At a Time

Trader Joe's

As a diehard Scooby Doo fan, I love a good mystery. Something about the thrill of gathering all the evidence and figuring out it was the janitor all along really gets me pumped. Equally as exciting (and way less spooky) is unwrapping a gift on Christmas day and not having any clue what could be hiding inside of the beautifully wrapped box. Could it be the OSMO salt I asked for? Maybe it’s a Martha Stewart Cookware set!

While nothing beats getting precisely what you asked for, the presents that tend to stick are the ones you weren’t expecting to begin with — and Trader Joe’s just brought back a fan-favorite item worth taking a chance on. Fans of the quirky grocer are more than well-versed in the substantial TJ’s canon, but allow me to recap if you’re just tuning in.

In an effort to capitalize on the hype surrounding the totes, TJ’s just brought back its famed Mystery Bags, and fans are going berserk. We won’t spoil all the fun for you, but each pack contains three reusable bags with designs featuring places throughout the United States, and they only cost $3!

All it takes is a quick search of the #tjmysterybag tag on TikTok, and you’ll understand the frenzy. Videos of people “unboxing” their respective bags have generated over 3.4 million views and thousands of comments. TikToker @leora.ashouri showed off her mother’s impressive collection of bags and dubbed it her “mom's favorite holiday.” Users in the comments asked for “a bag tour" with some even noting they “bought nine already.”

Other users like @traderjoestalia and @jessica_2171 shared their “unbagging” with everyone, and the excitement in finding out what’s inside is palpable. While you can (and should) buy one for yourself, this is one item that’s better with friends. Some packs include doubles, and your friends might be willing to swap an Arizona or an Indiana with you.

Whether you decide to gift a few packs or keep them all for yourself, this product is one hot commodity that won’t be around for long. And if you opt to share with friends, you might want to grab TJ’s giant Shareable Butter Cookie perfect to snack on while you unbox your mystery treasures.
