‘Tis the season for family, turkey, and of course, the beloved Thanksgiving dessert table.

In true American tradition, pumpkin pie has become a staple of Thanksgiving meals around the country — and wholesale retailer Costco is proving that it’s still as popular as ever.

This year, Costco priced its pie at $5.99 and put the hit item on shelves earlier than usual — in August. Since then, it’s been causing a frenzy on social media.

The pie is the price as it was in 2022, so inflation-related issues have not affected Costco’s pricing on the popular pie.

Costco’s pumpkin pie weighs an estimated 3 pounds, 10 ounces, and can serve up to 12 people. The hefty dessert is one foot in diameter.

According to , Costco shoppers purchased an estimated 1/3 of the 6.3 million pumpkin pies sold in 2019 — in the three days leading up to Thanksgiving.

David and Susan Schwartz, who wrote the book “The Joy of Costco: A Treasure Hunt From A to Z,” claim that the retailer sells over 6 million pies between September and December each year.

Costco did not immediately respond to Â鶹Éç‘s request for comment confirming pumpkin pie sales.
