@El from NJ  I'm going to buy another one to bring to the office to share with my group.

They usually bring in Pecan Kringle after the Pumpkin Kringle, right?

[El from NJ]

Yes pretty sure they do. but any of them are delicious. The almond are my favorite.

I don't get it. If memory serves me correct, wasn't there a post announcing the Trader Joe's bags last year too? Lot's of complaints because people couldn't get them?

I saw them once but they weren't anything special, in my opinion. I see these in craft stores with no logo so you could create your own design any way you like. Maybe I'm missing something, but then again, I much prefer Sprouts over Trader Joe's.

I don't understand the appeal of these Trader Joe bags.  This style is available everywhere.  They are not unique.

There seems to be a frenzy created by social media for some items and people break their necks to get them, even paying a small fortune on the secondary market.  Why? 

It's the same thing for those rubber totes things like Bogg bags.  They are expensive, even the knock offs.

TJ's still has the Pumpkin Caramel Kringle. I shopped earlier this week. Got the set of the Fall mini canvas bags, Pumpkin bagels & pumpkin cream cheese 🥯

Also bought the Bourbon Vanilla Bean Syrup. An extra one to keep for Thanksgiving that I put out for after dinner coffee & to use for ice cream topper for dessert. There were only a few bottles left.

Did you know that bourbon vanilla doesn’t actually contain bourbon? It’s so named because only vanilla harvested from islands in the Indian Ocean, like Île Bourbon (now known as Réunion) can be called bourbon vanilla. And that’s precisely what you’ll find in each bottle of Trader Joe’s Bourbon Vanilla Bean Syrup.

Made for us on the island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar, our supplier incorporates triple-fold, concentrated Bourbon Vanilla into a caramelized sugar syrup and adds a generous amount of Vanilla Bean seeds. The resulting Syrup offers intense aromas and rich flavors of Vanilla in every spoonful—a true delight for any Vanilla lover. Give it a good shake to disperse the seeds throughout the amber Syrup, then add to your coffee, latte, or tea for a robust burst of Vanilla in each sip. In addition to channeling your inner barista, you can even brush the Syrup on cake layers, drizzle it over ice cream, or stir it into a fruit salad for a little something extra. 

Packed in handsome glass bottles, Trader Joe’s Bourbon Vanilla Bean Syrup will give any at-home coffee bar or cart setup an added touch of luxury, for less than the cost of a single latte at your local coffee shop. You’ll find this Vanilla-rific Syrup on the shelves near our coffee & tea at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s every day.

Our store has them and there is a limit of 8.  They said they have tons.  TJ is trying to keep them off EBay and keep the cost real.  I'm using these to put some fun Halloween stuff in for older grandkids.  They are a handy size if you're just picking up a few things.

Our store had a limit of 4. TJ can't keep anything off Ebay and they say that they don't want these limited edition items to be intented for resale, but when they limit quantities and make a big deal of the release, they are contributing to it. I think there were more quantities of the Fall bags than the Spring bags as my store seemed to have more quantity this time.
