Can you feel that in the air? It’s Pumpkin Spice Season. The sun is starting to go down earlier and pumpkins are invading all the grocery stores and home decor shops.

Although this year might be a little different with social distancing, there is nothing stopping you from enjoying pumpkin spice in the comfort of your home. I am already busy trying to improve the mood in my home.

Here are 5 pumpkin spice coffees to order for fall 2020:

Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Flavored Ground Coffee, 11 oz.

Dunkin’ is one of the brands that originally made pumpkin spice so popular and they now have options you can enjoy at home like this pumpkin spice ground coffee. The coffee is 100% premium Arabica coffee. I personally bought this one recently at the store and enjoyed it. It’s ground coffee so it’s ready to go in your keurig or coffee machine. The flavor is so good it hardly needs any sweetener on top though I never say no to some oat milk.

2. Califia Farms Seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte Cold Brew Coffee with Almondmilk, 48 Oz

If you’re looking for a cold beverage with pumpkin spice, Califia Farms is a great option. This cold brew coffee made with 100% Arabica beans comes already mixed with almond milk for those of us on the go who don’t have time to make a batch of coffee at home. The price is more than fair and it is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, BPA-free, kosher, and vegan. Their mix is made with real pumpkin puree and spices as well. It being only 100 calories per bottle is also a huge plus for those of us trying to watch our weight at home.

3. DEATH WISH COFFEE Organic Pumpkin Spice Dark Roast Coffee Grounds [12 oz.]

Death Wish Coffee is popularly known for its strong brews and best practices used in production. This roast is Fair Trade and features Arabica and Robusta beans as well as chai, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger-infused spices. Pumpkin spice is really just a blend of all these great flavors and they use a cauldron-aged process to simmer the spices and extract the flavors into the roast. It’s more expensive than the competition, but if you’re looking for something organic and sustainable you will want to look into this brand.

4. Trader Joes Pumpkin Spice Coffee…14 Oz

I love Trader Joe’s products, but one of the hardest things can be finding the products online since they don’t do delivery. Their pumpkin spice coffee features orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla beans, and pumpkin spice oil with 100% Brazil Cerrado Arabica beans. It’s a medium roast so right between the Death Wish and Dunkin’ brands.

5. Bones Coffee Company Flavored Coffee Beans, Jacked ‘O’ Lantern Pumpkin Spice Whole Bean Coffee for Cold Brew Coffee, Low Acid Medium Roast Gourmet Coffee Beans (Whole Bean)

If you’re looking for something different, check out Bones Coffee Company based in Cape Coral, Florida. Besides having some great artwork on their coffee bags, this roaster offers artisan craft coffee in either beans or ground made with 100% Arabica beans. Their coffee is keto-friendly, vegan friendly, and dairy-free without added sugar or carbs. Their pumpkin spice coffee is a medium roast with low acidity but a sweet taste. This seasonal roast is only available for a limited time. The brand has a huge online footprint.

There you have it. 5 pumpkin spice coffees to order for fall 2020. Have fun and enjoy the season.

Amazon to immediately lower price of healthy food after Whole Foods acquisition

In a move that is sure to send shock waves quickly throughout the grocery business, Amazon will immediately lower prices of healthy food items once it successfully acquires Whole Foods on Monday, August 28th, 2017.

On the list: organic avocados, organic brown eggs, organic responsibly-farmed salmon, almond butter, organic apples, organic rotisserie chicken, and more. Amazon has pledged to continue dropping prices and will offer Amazon Prime members exclusive deals in the future when they phase out the current rewards system that Whole Foods has in place.

In addition, Whole Foods brands will be available on Amazon.com, AmazonFresh, Prime Pantry and Prime Now starting Monday.

Amazon Worldwide Consumer CEO, Jeff Wilke, says they are “determined to make healthy and organic food affordable for everyone. Everybody should be able to eat Whole Foods Market quality.” He also said they “will lower prices without compromising Whole Foods Market’s long-held commitment to the highest standards.”

Whole Foods was sued in the past multiple times for price-gouging customers, Amazon seems to be making it clear they will prioritize making prices friendlier to consumers with these statements. Lowering the price of healthy food is sure to put pressure on grocery stores that frequently charge consumers extra for healthy food.

A 2013 study in the British Medical Journal Open found that people with healthy diets spend about a $1.50 more per day than people who eat unhealthy diets. This is mainly a burden for families that have low-incomes. The 2013 study also notes that the food industry itself is part of the problem and needs to change to make healthier food available:

unhealthy diets may cost less because food policies have focused on the production of “inexpensive, high volume” commodities, which has led to “a complex network of farming, storage, transportation, processing, manufacturing, and marketing capabilities that favor sales of highly processed food products for maximal industry profit.” Given this reality, they said that creating a similar infrastructure to support production of healthier foods might help increase availability—and reduce the prices—of more healthful diets.”

Maybe Amazon is trying to do exactly that. Only time will tell.
