No matter what time of year, Costco is the place to be. The warehouse store is known for selling food and home goods in bulk, but you don’t want to pass over the store’s fresh-baked items either. The 4-pound Costco pumpkin pie is back early this year! (OK, technically it weighs 3.63 pounds, but we’re rounding up here.)
The pumpkin pie probably isn’t new to frequent Costco shoppers—the warehouse club has been offering the tasty fall treat for years now. Still, if you’re not in the baking mood this Thanksgiving, this is an easy (and totally affordable) option.
How Much Does Each Costco Pumpkin Pie Cost?
These Costco pumpkin pies were first discovered to be officially back in season by Instagram user @TheCostcoConnoisseur. The pie will only cost you around $5.99 at most locations. That’s a pretty small price to pay for a pie this big! You can also freeze pie if there’s a little too much to go around.
(Prefer to make your pumpkin pie at home? You can’t go wrong with this classic pumpkin pie recipe.)
Get a Slice Right Now!
It looks like the treats are already for sale across the country (even though we only just kicked off PSL season). If you want to snag one for Thanksgiving—or even earlier—don’t wait until the last minute.
When I worked the front-end at Costco a few years ago, the bakery was completely sold out before the store closed on the day before Thanksgiving. (That includes the pumpkin pies as well as the other treats, like cookies.) So plan ahead if you’re set on getting that pie.
Mmm...Pumpkin Pie!

Easy Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin pie does not have to be difficult to make. This easy Thanksgiving dessert recipe has a wonderful taste and will be a hit at your holiday meal. —Marty Rummel, Trout Lake, Washington Up Next: Here's Everything to Cook With Pumpkin This Fall
Fresh Pumpkin Pie
In my opinion, there’s no contest as to which homemade pumpkin pie is best. No matter how good your canned filling is, it will never match pumpkin pie from scratch. —Christy Harp, Massillon, Ohio Don't toss those seeds. Learn how to roast pumpkin seeds with our step-by-step guide.
No-Crust Pumpkin Pie
Baked in a water bath, this pie has a texture that's more like a custard than a traditional pumpkin pie. In place of canned or fresh pumpkin, I sometimes use cushaw, a type of crookneck squash. Pro tip: For a gluten-free pumpkin pie, try using a gluten-free all-purpose baking flour—like this option from Bob's Red Mill. Get more gluten-free dessert recipes here.
