Well, then I'm set. I paid $6 each for MC's pumpkin and pecan pies.

I have made them from scratch before, but this year I decided to give myself some grace.

The farmers market near my parents charges $19 these days. They are my favorite, though...

Made 2 pumpkin and 2 pecan pies with the kids. In addition to the usual ingredients (pumpkins, pecans) we were out of some staples we normally have at home like vanilla extract ($13). I think our grocery bill came to about $70.

What?! Insanity and I cannot believe people will actually pay that.

Even the famous Zimmerman’s bakery pies aren’t that much, $29.

Whatever they’ll be at Costco tomorrow.

If we were home I’d bake apple from scratch but since we’re staying with family who make everything Keto with fake sugar Costco it is!

Mine was free as the PTA provided it. Best pumpkin pie I ever had, and it was from Giant!

I just left Trader Joe’s. They have beautiful pumpkin and also pecan pies for $8.99 each. They were sampling them and they are delicious.

The cost of ingredients, most of which I already had.

I come from a European city known for its pastries/cakes. Some of my favorite store-bought desserts there cost a heck of a lot more than €35!
