I Found the Cheapest Pumpkins at Tesco, Asda, Morrisons Aldi and Lidl
Aldi offers pumpkins from 42p, undercutting competitors, while experts share tips to reuse seeds and reduce the 18,000 tonnes of pumpkin waste nationwide.
This year, supermarket pumpkins start at 42p, with Aldi offering sizes from small Munchkin pumpkins to larger options across its United Kingdom stores.

An estimated 24 million pumpkins will be sold this Halloween with potential 18,000 tonnes of waste, while Mark Sage recommends simple reuse hacks to cut costs and waste.
Mark Sage recommends storing the largest seeds in airtight containers in the fridge to keep them viable for up to a year, with tools starting at £4 from B&Q stores nationwide.
