I paid 49 cents at that Times grocery store in Pearl. Good for you for finding some though! There was a mad rush of us mothers out at the last minute trying to get them!
I didn't know they still sold pumpkins by the pound! I live in the Bay Area and all the stores around here, including Safeway sell pumpkins by set prices depending on their size - small, medium, large, which range in price from about $1.99-$8.99.
Today, I bought a small pumpkin at CVS for only 50 cents! They had 4 big containers of small pumpkins that they're still trying to sell off.
Well, my local fruit and veg shop is selling "Halloween Pumpkins" for $30. They have two for sale. We don't really do Halloween here (Australia). But good on 'em for trying, hey?

thats the recession for ya!!
ok thats way uncool. Especially because you are paying a way higher price than the rest of us mainlanders in the first place.
boourns! I hate it when places do that.
that's a 40 cent penalty to last minute parents.

Wow, that sucks. They go down in price here (I am in Utah). I paid 10 cents a pound!
and this is why safeway is evil. Trust me, I know... They stole 3 1/2 years of my life. Working retail is 10 times worse when it's grocery retail.
I went today and it was .69 cents a lb. They have a monopoly though- the only store in K town that has them still!
Happy Halloween!
It totally sucks... and our pumpkins were just stolen too :-( My poor 7 year old daughter cried for HOURS that her decorated pumpkin was taken...
That does suck, but I'm not surprised. :(
That is way uncool! Arrrggg!
That sucks, but just imagine what they're going to do to turkeys next month.
Jorge,
Your paying what the market will bear! Econ 101!!
i went to check on my pumpkin last night and it has melted...literally into a watery pile of mush...
so sad..
Happy Halloweeeeeeen Jorge!
I want to buy pumpkins tomorow!!! It's interesting - How many money will cost pumpkins?
You buy them by the pound?? Jeeeez, their half price down at the farm market here, which means they are about $2.00.. in total!!
Just Econ 101: "supply & demand." Demand for pumpkins increases to highest point of the year. Thus, price increases.
isn't there a maket place that you can get them?..
That stinks. I paid 9 cents a pound the other day - but I don't live on in an island paradise either.

I never gave this a thought, but are pumpkins native to Hawai.
Surely they aren't shipped from the mainland.
