Sarah Sprague writes about football and food at sarahsprague.com and KissingSuzyKolber. She refuses to buy anything pumpkin flavored before October. Pie-chart pie bought at Trader Joe's, not listed in flyer. If you enjoy great pie charts (and why wouldn't you?), you should also visit here.
I saw it, and this is like staring into the seed-filled cavity of hell, to me.
I can't tell if the word pumpkin is spelled correctly after reading that.
@Megan@twitter The more you look at it, the more it looks wrong!

When I got my flyer, I got as far as "pumpkin on a stick" before I became aware that Trader Joe's was actually trying to drive me insane.
"Pumpkin Walks Into a Bar".
Orange you cute!
Wait, where do I sign up to get the trader joe's flyers?
@cherrispryte Wait, nevermind, I googled. On their website, obvi.
Time to do my monthly plea for TJ's to open in OKC. Thanks for the reminder!
We just recently got a couple where I live and the pumpkin macarons are next level, the pumpkin beer ain't bad either. I work with a lady who has sever seasonal pumpkin fever and I've caught it from her!
Pumpkin flavored coffee and beer can go back to Russia.
Not every pumpkin item was in the latest Fearless Flyer. Another one is the Pumpkin filled Ravioli which is pretty darn good too. I'm having a pumpkinpalooza over my Trader Joe's review website. http://www.clubtraderjoes.com
