A SUPERMARKET in a Herefordshire town is selling pumpkins for an incredibly low price after so many were left over from Halloween.

Morrisons, in Ross-on-Wye, is selling the autumnal vegetable for 10p to stop them going to waste.

This year 22 million pumpkins bought for Halloween will go to waste, according to environmental campaign group Hubbub.

The group said 59 per cent of people know that you can eat carving pumpkins, up from 53 per cent last year.

A photo showed piles of them ready to go.

The chain shared pumpkin recipes from BBC Good Food to give people ideas of what they could do with the now cheap vegetables.

“Why not give them a go for a cheap healthy meal,” said a spokesperson.
