Did you know on average, pumpkin-flavored products cost 7.4% more than their non-pumpkin alternatives. While it’s tempting to indulge in those seasonal flavors, a little budgeting can help balance the fall treats and financial goals.

Check out these tips to help you save this fall season:

DIY Delights:

Stock up on spices and canned pumpkin to brew your own lattes and bake delicious treats.

Pumpkin Spice on a Dime:

Keep an eye out for pumpkin spice deals and discounts many cafes offer loyalty programs or seasonal promotions.

Embrace the Pumpkin Spice Priorities:

Allocating a small, fixed amount to your pumpkin spice indulgence, you’ll enjoy your favorite autumn flavors guilt-free, knowing you’ve planned for it.
