Some may say it's too soon for fall flavors when summer hasn't entirely ended yet, but pumpkin spice doesn't even have pumpkin in it, so is it even that seasonal?

If you're looking to save money on groceries, it might be better to wait for the fall menus to roll out fully — but if you can't wait, there are quite a few options on the shelves already.
