Grow-vs-buy savings
A seed packet or seedling costs around $5 and should give you roughly 10kg after about 4 months in typical home conditions. At today's price of $3.26/kg that's $32.60 worth at the supermarket.
Before you buy: Needs a lot of space (can sprawl 3-5 m). Save seeds from any good pumpkin and plant them next spring — grow true if not cross-pollinated.
Realistic yield: One plant 2-4 pumpkins at 2-5 kg each (10-20 kg total). Stores 3-6 months after harvest.
Ballpark numbers — yield varies by climate, variety, care and luck. Use as a rough indicator, not a business plan.
