Carve a pumpkin.
Cost: $3.99 for the pumpkin.
Time: 20 minutes for carving, 1 hour for pumpkin seed roasting.
Headspace: I love home roasted pumpkin seeds, and yesterday was the most perfect leaf-crunching, sweater-wearing crisp fall afternoon that merited the purchase. Yes, the pumpkin will be rotten by Halloween. Excuse to carve another one, I say!
