Pumpkin prices....
What's the going rate for pumpkins in your neighborhood?
I haven't really had the chance to go out and do the PUMPKIN HUNT yet, but at my store we're selling them 2 for $12. Is this good. Seems a little HIGH to me.
What are they going for in your neck of the woods?

OEJ - The pumpkins around us go for pretty much the same yours do. $2.00 for the gords and $5.00 and $15.00 for large pumpkins. I think it is SUPER pricey. That is why I drive up to the pumpkin patch, pick my own and only pay like $4.00 for a GIANT pumpkin. Plus then it is more fun.
I am not sure why they have been so expensive but they are always that way around here.

Best way to get good HUGE ones is to go to Wal-mart and start digging into the bottom of those bins for them. No one ever wants to dig around, so all the really nicely shaped, huge ones are down there.
I've done it for years.
I think 2 for $12 sounds like a fine price to me. When I'm not buying them at someplace like Wal-Mart I expect to pay a bit more. I try every year to spread it around and not buy them all from Wal-mart. I go to my local farmer's market and get a couple, then get one or two from a local nursery. I buy so many that I can spread around the money I spend on pumpkins. I usually end up with around 15 or so, nearly all of which I carve.
This year I had to move outta my house and have no place to put one. I decided to carve some anyways and just go sneak them onto the front porches of my friends. They will know who did it anyways (because everyone I know has seen my pumpkins before), but it will be a fun Halloween "trick-or-treat" of my own.

I pay a little more for my p-kins, but I pick them straight from the vine at Apple Annie's in Wilcox, AZ.... so around $6-8 for the p-kins and $2 for the hay-ride to the field depending on if I have my old roommate with me or not... her mom works at the farm and they all know her. =)
I like picking straight from the vine-- they're less damaged that way.
However, I do usually pick up p-kins at Albertson's-- they always have a large selection and I can usually find a couple p-kins that are the right size and have good carving faces... I dunno about price. I usually just look for variety

There was an article in the local paper today that said that the farmers in our area were fortunate and had rain when it was needed, so our local crop is good, with prices anywhere from $3-6 a piece, good sized ones. the "fancy" pumpkins, Cinderella, Turkish, etc,) can be a little more, but not bad. I got a whole bagful of little mini pumpkins for 50 cents a piece at a local nursery. They are so cute!!
