Halloween is a big deal – and not just for kids. There’s treats for all.
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. consumers (62%) have said they plan to celebrate the holiday and nearly half (46%) began planning two months ago, according to a research firm Numerator’s survey of 5,347 consumers.
In addition to Halloween decorations, most plan to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters (58%), gather with family and friends (33%), and go or accompany trick-or treating (31%).
Amid all that planning, something’s likely to fall through the cracks – be it main dishes, extra candy or snacks. Here’s some deals to take advantage of this Halloween holiday.
