🔥 Featured Halloween Deals (Updated Daily)

Here are my top Halloween picks today. I’ve been tracking frugal finds for 15+ years—these are the markdowns I’d personally grab right now. New deals post daily, so check back often.

• Candy & handouts: Stock up on fun-size candy packs and allergy-friendly handouts (glow sticks, bubbles, stickers). Early-October promos = best mix of price + selection.
• Costumes: This week is the sizing “sweet spot.” Budget DIY add-ons (dollar-store props) stretch your look—see our costume ideas.
• Decor: Porch lights, inflatables, and carving kits often drop 20–30% on October weekends. I track these daily so you don’t overspend.

🗓️ When to Buy: October Game Plan

Use this quick plan to time purchases for the best price-to-selection balance:

• Oct 1–7: Grab costumes and decor first (sizes & styles vanish fast). Start price-watching candy.
• Oct 8–14: Candy promos pop. Stack store sales + coupons/rebates. Add non-candy handouts for allergy-friendly baskets.
• Oct 15–21: Fill gaps: porch lights, carving kits, party serveware. Recheck sizes for last-minute costume swaps.
• Oct 22–31: Watch final markdowns (limited inventory). Stock up post-Halloween for next year’s decor at 50–70% off.

🧮 Candy Budget Guide (Cost-Per-Piece)

Aim for a sweet-spot cost-per-piece so you don’t overbuy:

• Estimate visitors: Example: 80 trick-or-treaters × 2 pieces ≈ 160 pieces.
• Calculate CPP: If a 250-count bag is $19.99, CPP ≈ $19.99 ÷ 250 = $0.08/piece.
• Target range: $0.07–$0.12/piece (brand & region vary). Mix in non-candy (glow sticks, stickers) to stretch budget.
• Pro tip: Avoid “variety packs” you know won’t get eaten—leftovers waste money.

Candy Tips & Alternatives

🧡 Safety & Allergy-Friendly Handouts

• Teal-pumpkin basket: Offer a separate bowl with non-food goodies (bubbles, pencils, tattoos) and label it clearly.
• Lighting & paths: Keep walkways bright and clutter-free; battery candles in pumpkins are safer than open flames.
• Allergen checks: If hosting, set up a “safe treats” table and ask guests to label homemade items.
