Why wouldn't they overdo the pumpkin thing? It's what sells nowadays. People are pumpkin spice obsessed. And for those non pumpkin / pumpkin spice lovers, they still sell thousands of items without those flavors for you to choose from.
Yes, saying everything in the store is pumpkin-spice flavored is a huge exaggeration. Right now those items are highlighted and noticeable, but I do most of my grocery shopping at TJs year-round and the vast majority is just normal food.
I forgot to mention the apple cider jam. My kids loved it.
I'm not a pumpkin or pumpkin spice fan . Heck, I don't really care for any of the squash family. And I don't want those pumpkin spices messing my my cookies, apple pie, biscotti, ice cream or rum (as in Captain Morgans).
The biggest food love at holiday time goes to (ta-da!) ALDI. Frozen Maple Leaf whole duck at $2.49 per pound. I've got give of them in my freezer.

I can't imagine apple pie without some combination of cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and clove.
They opened a TJ near me a few years ago in the fall.
Every item was pumpkin flavored.
Every item?
Yikes!
I can't even begin to imagine how bad their pumpkin-flavored Italian sausage must be.
I also would not want to try their pumpkin-flavored Porcini mushrooms, or their pumpkin-flavored Cod fillets, or their pumpkin-flavored olive oil, or their pumpkin-flavored fresh mozzarella, or their pumpkin-flavored salad greens, or their pumpkin-flavored Bordeaux.
Pecan Pie ice cream - it tastes like eating a very cold bite of pecan pie
I was about to post an "I walked through an urban Trader Joe's last week and didn't see anything I wanted to buy". Then I saw this.
I kind of like the goat cheese log covered in berries. Cranberry or blueberry. I forget which. That's not seasonal.
