Whole Foods is out of pumpkin here, nooooooooooo... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Princes mom · 06-04-2010, 05:21 AM

Last time I went, I bought about 4 cans. I went yesterday to stock up and they were out. They only had the pumpkin for pies, with spices, not the plain, nothing in it pumpkin.

They said that they will get the plain one in around October.

I did pick up pumpkin/apple baby food that is organic with no salt or sugar added.

The Whole Foods that I go to is in Alpharetta.

Do you have any Bruno's supermarkets where you live? The ONLY place in my neck of the woods that had pumpkin was the Bruno's in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

We don't have Bruno's here, according to their web site, they're only located in AL.
I have checked Kroger, Publix, Super Target, Super Walmart, Aldi, Assi (Asian mega market), Super H Mart (Asian mega market) and some little family run stores.

Maybe we should get some pumpkin seeds and grow our own.

We have been out of pumpkin here since fall in the stores.

One of my co-workers dad grows pumpkins. I didn't get any from her this past fall. If he has them this year I am buying a bunch, cooking and freezing it.

Don't forget to check out the organic section of regular supermarkets. That is where I found mine.

LOL, ebay, what a great idea! Now I've gotta see if I can find some and list them on ebay!

Here's a list of completed auctions on ebay for pure pumpkin. They aren't going for much now. About $2.50-3 a can. Last resort, ebay! http://completed.shop.ebay.com/i.html?LH_Complete=1&_nkw=canned%20pure%20pumpkin& _fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283&_rdc=1

I think I'll buy some at Whole Foods tomorrow just in case the shortage is longer than expected. If you want I can send you some.

Thank you, but that would be too much trouble. I'm going to check Trader Joe's about 10.

Ok I know I'm an idiot, but I have seen people say to use it for bowel movement issues, what do you guys use if for on a regular basis? Wondering if I should be!

You are so funny!!

No, you're not an idiot!!!! I make treats for Prince and use pumpkin in them. He'll get one or two a day and it keeps his poop perfect. I don't buy store made treats because most of them are made in China; this way I know exactly what he is eating. One treat contains pumpkin, brown rice and salmon (fresh, wild, not canned); the other contains the same except instead of salmon, I use lamb. The lamb is boiled, then rinsed to remove as much fat as possible. I make them into tiny paddies and bake them on a rack until they are crunchy.
