I didn’t realize how much the pumpkin in my dessert looks like poop until I wrote the title for this post. Oh my!
Anyway… I love anything pumpkin — and I love cheesecake. When I saw a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake I had make it. The recipe makes 2 so my intent was to make sure the pesky neighbors had some for their trip south. But I couldn’t find canned pumpkin anywhere!
Walmart showed it in stock upon ordering, but by pick-up time it was always marked as ‘out of stock‘ with no substitutions. Perry scored 2 cans on the same day I saw others asking about it on Facebook. I guess it’s on the menu for many dogs with sensitive stomachs.
I noticed on one of the posts someone suggested ordering canned pumpkin from Amazon. Y’all ain’t gonna believe this… but pumpkin is the new toilet paper and is being price gouged.
This same can is $1.96 at Wal-mart. So Amazon’s mark-up is a flat $7 bucks per can. Does that make you lose faith in Amazon?? It does me.
That’s a 357% mark-up!!
As a side note, I’ve had auto delivery for smelly water (citrus something) that goes in my Bissell floor steamer for a long time. Every three weeks it’s sent to me and the cost is right at $8 bucks. I noticed they raised the price to almost $15(!!) but the cost for ‘spring fresh’ scent is still $7.99. I cancelled that delivery and ALL my auto-deliveries.
Word of warning… check your Amazon stuff. They are trying to get all your money.
I figure my dessert is worth about $25.00 a slice. Let me know how many you want. (Prime shipping does not apply.)
