Halloween candy prices have soared to the point where some parents are flat-out refusing to participate. One mom on TikTok is simply declaring, “porch light will be off this year”. It’s a huge bummer for the spooky season, but when you look at the price tags, it’s hard to argue since it went so viral.
Most bags of Halloween candy sit between $19 and $25, so you can absolutely understand why people are giving up on the ghost, so to speak. This isn’t just the normal inflation we’ve been seeing in the grocery aisles; this is a whole new level of sticker shock. The cost of our favorite seasonal treats has become nearly impossible for an average family to swallow, especially when they’re trying to stock up for dozens of eager little trick-or-treaters.
