Halloween Spending Hits Record $13.1B, But Prices Scare Shoppers

Americans will spend a record $13.1 billion on Halloween this year, but rising prices mean they’re getting less for their money.

Costume and candy costs are up due to tariffs and inflation, with candy alone 8% higher.

Average spending is $114.45 per person, $11 more than last year. Despite this, 73% of Americans still plan to celebrate.
