There’s a certain thrill that only a budget shopper understands. You know the feeling—walking past the clearance rack and spotting a “limited edition” gem that everyone else seemingly forgot about because the calendar flipped a page.

Even though we are sitting at the end of December and the vibrant orange leaves of fall are a distant memory, I couldn’t pass up a literal steal at my local grocery store. While these Voortman Pumpkin Spice Wafers usually retail for $5.99, I managed to snag them for just $1.50.

Fall or no fall, delicious treats are a year-round staple in my kitchen. If it’s tasty, I’m stocking up—regardless of the season!

If for some reason you don’t find these locally you can still purchase them online. Start shopping now!

Voortman Bakery (2) Packs Pumpkin Spice Wafers – Limited Edition Cookies Baked with Real Pumpkin – Halloween/Fall Net Wt. 10.6oz each.

First Impressions & Flavor Profile

Voortman has a reputation for “real” ingredients, and these wafers are no exception. They are perfectly fine eaten plain, standing on their own almost like a traditional cookie. The crunch is light, and the pumpkin spice flavor isn’t overwhelming; it has that warm, nostalgic blend of cinnamon and nutmeg that we crave in October.

But, as a dedicated coffee drinker, I found their true calling. These wafers are the ultimate companion to a morning cup of joe. For all you die-hard Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte fans out there: if you’re looking for a way to extend that flavor profile into your snack routine, you need to add these to your pantry.
