There is no better way to describe Halloween spending than monstrous. Just on candy, costumes and decorations Americans spend an average of $6.9 billion each year. A typical household will spend around $21 on Halloween candy and a whopping $50 or more on a Halloween costume. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there’s an average of 41 million trick-or-treaters each year between the ages of five and 14. But who says Halloween is just for children? Adults spent over $210 million on their spooky Halloween costumes last year. Be sure to include your furry friends in your Halloween festivities as well. Americans spend about $310 million a year to dress up their pets to make sure they don’t miss out on all of the fun.

If you plan to leave candy out for trick-or-treaters be sure to meet the popular demand. The four most popular candies are Snickers, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kats, and M&M’s. Be sure to get to the stores early though because October 28 has been deemed one of the busiest days of the year to go shopping for sweets. Also don’t forget to check out all of the candy sales on November 1 from stores trying to get rid of all of those goodies. Perfect opportunity to start saving up some candy for next year, right?
