The Pumpkin Spy: Your Handpicked Guide to a Seasonal Favorite

When I was a kid, pumpkins were for carving, baking into pies, or … well, that’s about it. Now, there are hundreds of pumpkin-flavored foods and pumpkin-scented products on the market.

According to Nielsen data, last year, 37% of U.S. consumers purchased a pumpkin-flavored product, and sales from pumpkin-flavored products grew 79% between 2011 and 2015. Luckily, I have combed through the shelves to find the latest and greatest #pumpkinspice products available at your local Walmart.

From breakfast foods to home goods, there is enough to keep your pantry stocked at least until you are ready to move on peppermint in December. Obviously, there are a lot of coffee-related products, but even if you aren’t a coffee drinker, there is a pumpkin spice product for you.
