Halloween candy prices can give your wallet a fright, especially if you live in a neighborhood where hundreds of trick-or-treaters show up every October 31. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a fortune on chocolate bars to keep your candy bowl stocked.
According to the National Retail Federation, Americans are expected to spend a record $13.5 billion celebrating Halloween in 2026, up from $13.1 billion in 2025. Candy alone accounts for an estimated $4.1 billion, with 96% of Halloween shoppers planning to purchase sweets.
