DH read this in one of his business reports. The pumpkin crop was almost wiped out this last year so canned pumpkin and other pumpkin products may not be available after Nov. Many grocers won't be able to have it in stock. If you use canned pumpkin or pumpkin products then you may want to stock up until next growing season. I give my dog a spoonful of pumpkin puree everyday. I made sure to stock up for her. LOL I tried cutting and using fresh grown pumpkins. It took me hours to cut, peel, cook, vacuum seal and freeze and made a complete mess in my kitchen.
