A trip to the pumpkin farm sure is fun, but the prices can sometimes be spooky high. 😬

Fortunately, you don’t have to empty your wallet to find a reasonable price for a pumpkin! If you and your kiddos love to paint or carve jack-o-lanterns for Halloween, here are a few places where you can buy affordable pumpkins. 🎃


Where to buy cheap or affordable pumpkins:


1. Walmart

6. A local farm

You may be able to score a deal on a pumpkin from a small local farm – one that doesn’t only grow pumpkins or operate as a full-fledged pumpkin farm. Also, check your pumpkin over carefully for any damage. If you see some minimal tears, it doesn’t hurt to try to haggle!

Hip Tip: Make the most of your purchase. Bake the seeds, cook the entire pumpkin, or use some of it in a recipe.

Hip Tip: Really want to save on pumpkins? Paint a craft pumpkin instead of buying a real one. You can reuse your decoration year after year!
