Fall is coming, but in some stores, it is already here -- or will be here sooner than you think.

While kids going back to school may signal the unofficial end of summer, one other sign that the lazy days of summer are gone is that Pumpkin Spice flavoring and scents are popping up.

World Market released it's pre-ground pumpkin spice coffee on Aug. 1, the "Today" show reported.

Shoppers may have also found pumpkin-flavored Cheerios, yogurt and chocolates in July.

Starbucks, the company that some may think started the pumpkin spice latte obsession, has already released its coffee and K-cups in some grocery stores, but the original PSL usually is available at Starbucks stores around Labor Day, the "Today" show reported.
