Xuzi Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 If I were to buy a Costco pumpkin pie today, would it still be good a week from now? Our nearest Costco is an hour away, and I'll have a chance to go there today, and I thought I'd pick up a pie while I was there, but I won't if it'd be spoiled before Thanksgiving.

Carrie75 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 We have bought them a few times and they get moldy after 3 or 4 days. That said we have opened them, eaten about half and keep it on our counter, rather then in the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfamilygal Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 You could always freeze it and then thaw in next Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Blue House Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've never had a mold problem...not sure if it's b/c a pumpkin pie from Costco has never lasted that long in my house. I would rely on the date stamped on the package AND keep it in the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Their best before dates on the pies are not that long so I wouldn't chance that. I have, however, frozen the pie and thawed it a week later and it still tasted great. I was advised to do so by the lady who worked at the Costco bakery.

gardenmom5 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 You could always freeze it and then thaw in next Wednesday. :iagree: If you have room in your freezer, this is what I would do. You can take it out wednesday night and put it in your refridgerator so it thaws slowly and it should be all ready on thanksgiving day.

Xuzi Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Awesome! Yay! I'm glad I won't have to delay my Costco trip. I want to go NOW before it gets too slammed with pre-holiday shoppers. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 We toss them after 3 days, they tend to mold on the 4th day here. I keep them in the garage where it is cool (40-50-60*) but not refridgerater cold. Definitely freeze it. They do come in a largeish box, so make sure you have quite a bit of room.

ilovemy6kids Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 We just bought several today. I put mine in the freezer, I have done this every year. I take them out the day before and put them in the fridge and they taste great. Sheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is any help, i think pumpkin is one of the easiest pies to make. it's just basically pumpkin, eggs, sweetener, evap milk and pour into a crust.

I have made them myself before, but there's just something about Costco's. :lol: There's one wrapped in several layers of tinfoil lounging in my fridge freezer as we speak. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLDoll Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Before I had to give up gluten, I would buy several and throw them in the freezer. I'd just pull them out to thaw a day before I needed it. Those pumpkin pies and the pumpkin cheesecake are a delicious deal. So sad I've had to give them up!

Daisy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yep, I freeze mine also. Works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) If I were to buy a Costco pumpkin pie today, would it still be good a week from now? Our nearest Costco is an hour away, and I'll have a chance to go there today, and I thought I'd pick up a pie while I was there, but I won't if it'd be spoiled before Thanksgiving. I'm such a horrible pie snob. I read your post and literally gasped out loud in horror that anyone would buy a pie--to eat!--from a Costco. :scared: I am taking my reaction as a clue that I need to get a life. :lol: Edited November 18, 2011 by BrookValley commas aren't my friends today.
