You know what it means when the air starts to get chilly in the morning and the first leaves start to hit the ground — ’tis the season for everything pumpkin spice. But even if it’s not cold yet where you live, it’s close enough to the beginning of fall to start celebrating early. (We officially give you permission!) We’ve been patiently — and not-so-patiently — waiting for our favorite seasonal treats to return to stores, and if you’re like us, that means obsessing over the ultimate question: “When is Costco‘s pumpkin pie coming back?” Well, thanks to Instagram, we now know the answer, and we couldn’t be more excited!
Instagrammers @eatingwith_rich and @costcodeals just shared a joint post, revealing that Costco’s legendary pumpkin pies are officially back in stores now! Yes, right now, as in the middle of August. Considering how Starbucks has already been teasing the return of their famous fall drinks, this makes complete sense to us!
“Pumpkin pie is back 🎃🥧” @eatingwith_rich captioned the post, with @costcodeals adding, “🙌🙌🙌🙌.” In the video, he added, “Pumpkin pie is back at Costco, so I had to get myself a pie.”
This fall delicacy from Costco is famous not only for its impeccable flavor but for its massive size. It’s hard to tell from the video but these pies weigh in at a whopping 3 pounds, 10 ounces! And for those wondering how much Costco’s pumpkin pie costs, we have a real treat: for years, the pies were an affordable $6.99, but somehow dropped in price in 2022 to just $5.99, and that lower price has magically carried over into 2024 as well. Leave it to Costco!
While some people might say it’s too early in the season for a pumpkin spice latte (isn’t that why they invented iced lattes?), and that you can’t have pumpkin pie until Thanksgiving, we completely disagree. Heck, we’re totally cool with you eating a slice of pumpkin pie for breakfast tomorrow if you want. It’s a vegetable, right? Sort of? Well, it pairs perfectly with coffee, and that’s all that really matters.
Other people are just as excited as we are. One person commented on the Instagram video, “Omg MY absolute favorite Costco deal!” “Omg can’t wait to get one!! 🔥🔥” someone else wrote. Another person admitted they are “running to Costco” to grab one of these famous pumpkin pies. (Um, same!)
Did we mention that all of Costco’s pumpkin pies are baked on site, so they really are as fresh as homemade? That makes this a pretty unbeatable deal, and our takeaway is simply this: Get thee to a Costco ASAP before they sell out!
