Supermarkets are bursting with pumpkins this time of year, and it’s not just the usual orange ones–quirky varieties like white “ghost” pumpkins and odd-shaped squashes are making an appearance too.

5. Roasted pumpkin seed
Don’t forget the seeds! Make your own pumpkin seeds instead of buying them from the store. Do you have other ways that you like to use leftover pumpkins? Enjoy a waste-free season with these tips! She is an expert on saving money at the supermarket and side hustles.
