Pumpkinpocalypse, pumpkinpalooza, pumpkin 2: Electric Boogaloo, etc

After more than a month of hiatus I'm back with some pumpkin-flavored vengeance. After seeing this month's Trader Joes' Fearless Flyer and nearly 4 whole pages of nothing but pumpkin, I decided I would take Pumpkin Spice season to the next level and try out everything I could find at my local TJs. Turns out I actually had to take two trips to get all of this:


...and I'm sure I missed something. What're obviously missing are any alcoholic beverages that might be pumpkin spiced or pumpkin-flavored; I'm leaving that to the experts (see: Exhibit A).

I tried to organize everything by "type":

Breakfast:
Pecan Pumpkin Oatmeal
Pumpkin Granola Cereal
Pumpkin Waffles
Pumpkin Cereal Bar
Pumpkin Rolls (frozen)
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins (RTE)
Pumpkin Greek Yogurt

Breads:
Pumpkin Bread Pudding (frozen)
Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix
Pumpkin Cornbread Mix
Pumpkin Cranberry Scone Mix
Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix
Pumpkin Bar Mix
Pumpkin Croissants (frozen)

Beverages:
Instant Pumpkin Chai Latte
Ground Pumpkin Spice Coffee
Pumpkin Spice Rooibos Tea
Pumpkin Soup (RTE)

Snacks, Cookies, Etc:
Pita Crisps with Pumpkin Seeds and Cranberry
Pumpkin Cornbread Croutons
Pumpkin Joe-Joes
Pumpkin Butter
Pumpkin Caramel Sauce
Pumpkin Biscotti
Iced Pumpkin Scone
Pumpkin Pie Mochi
Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwiches
Pumpkin Ice Cream
Pumpkin Macarons

(For those who are curious, all of this came out to be less than $100. So if you really wanted to live on pumpkin-flavored food for a month, you could AND you would save money, because you wouldn't want to eat any pumpkin thing ever again.)

For obvious reasons I'll be trying the perishable items first. They'll be rated on pumpkin-ness, yum-ability, ease of pairing, and overall value.

See anything I missed? Let me know! I live to please eat!
