Best Places to Buy Cheap Pumpkins for Halloween 2025
Wondering where to buy pumpkins this autumn? Here’s where to score some at a reasonable price!
A trip to the pumpkin farm can be lots of fun! You can bring home lots of cute photos of the kids in a pumpkin patch, but you may also come away with some overpriced pumpkins.
Fortunately, you don’t have to empty your wallet to find a reasonable price on pumpkins! 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
Pumpkin Pie Pumpkins – $2.62
We recently took a trip to Walmart, where the store had a great selection of pumpkins ranging from $2.62 to $4.50 in-store. Choose from pumpkin pie pumpkins, carving pumpkins, white pumpkins, mini pumpkins, and more!
2. Target
Jack O’Lantern Carving Pumpkin – $5.49
You can scoop up a carving pumpkin for under $6 at Target. You’ll also find a range of other cheap pumpkins, including pumpkin pie, ornamental, and mini pumpkins, starting at just $2.99.
3. Trader Joe’s
Orange Pumpkins – $4.99
Fall Fantasy Pumpkins – $7.99
*We saw a lower price in-store than what was advertised online. Price may vary by location.
Little Tiger Stripe Pumpkin – $1.49
4. Aldi
Fall Pumpkins – $3.95
5. Costco
Jumbo Pumpkins – $6.99
At Costco, club members can score jumbo pumpkins for just $6.99! We also saw heirloom pumpkins for $6.99, and mini pumpkins priced at five for $5.99. Please note that these prices may vary by location.
6. Local farms
You may be able to score a deal on a pumpkin from a small local farm. You’re likely to find a better price at a farm that grows other produce and does not operate as a full-fledged pumpkin farm.
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!
Thanks for highlighting local farms! I just wanted to add that at roadside stands, you can often get a deal on multiples of pumpkins or other decorations, especially if you’re willing to take a few with flaws (or “character” :-)). I recently filled the back of my SUV with fall decor for much less than I would have paid if I paid per piece just by asking, “What would you charge for all of this?”
Such a great tip, Beverly! Thanks a bunch for mentioning that. ❤️ Sounds like you scored an awesome deal on your fall haul! 🍂🎃
Lidl stores have Pumpkins $2.99 this weekend (10/10-10/12) They had some very Nice Ones!
Sweet! Thanks for sharing where you spotted some cheap pumpkins! 🎃
