Milwaukee Area Pumpkin Price Comparison List
From pumpkin patches to big box discount retailers like Walmart, there are so many places where you can buy pumpkins in the Milwaukee area. Prices for pumpkins are just as diverse! Pumpkins from large retailers are typically cheaper than those from pumpkin farms. Of course buying your pumpkin at Aldi doesn’t offer the same experience as buying it at a pumpkin patch. What kind of pumpkin buyer are you? Does the experience of a pumpkin patch justify the higher cost?
Here’s a list of prices we’ve seen at popular pumpkin patches and big-name retailers around town (note that prices may change and may vary from store to store within the same chain):
Aldi – $2.49 each
Apple Holler (Sturtevant) – $0.49 per pound
Basse’s Country Delight (Muskego) – Individually priced $1-$8 each
The Elegant Farmer – Priced by size, extra large pumpkins $12; large pumpkins $8; medium pumpkins $5
The Family Farm (Grafton) – $0.37 per pound
Pick ‘n Save – Large pumpkins $4.99; medium pumpkins $3.99; small pumpkins $2.99; mini-pumpkins 10 for $10
Prospect Hill (New Berlin) – $0.37 per pound
Sam’s Club – Jumbo pumpkins for $8.98
Swan’s Pumpkin Farm (Franksville) – $0.26 per pound
Steins – Three pumpkins for $10
Walgreens – Two large pumpkins for $7
Walmart – Large pumpkins for $2.49
You can also get some great deals on pumpkins from farmers that set up pumpkin stands on the side of the road. One of our Facebook followers, Peggy, shared a great deal that she found:
“I bought pumpkins out of a wagon cart on the corner of Good Hope and Town Hall Road. They are $2 each. Good deal and great pumpkins.”

Milwaukee Area Earth Day Freebies
Many retailers will use any opportunity to promote themselves through free publicity and giveaways, especially in this economy. We have seen all kinds of freebies on non-traditional holidays recently – election day, tax day, and now Earth Day. The following offers are available from national retailers with a presence in the Milwaukee area:
- Whole Foods is giving away free reusable lunch bags through April 26th. Present this coupon to get your free bag.
- The Disney Store will give you a free Disney water bottle if you bring in 3 empty plastic bottles.
- Walgreens is giving away free reusable shopping bags today. To get yours, present this coupon to get your free bag & other 15-20% off other items in the store.
In addition to those listed above, there have been rumors on the internet about free coffee at Starbucks today if you bring in your own coffee mug. We spoke with a barista at our closest Starbucks and she said that there was no official promotion today, but she would give us free coffee if we brought in our own mug. If you want to try this, we suggest calling ahead first!
If you know of any giveaways around town that we missed, leave a comment and let us know.
