I always find these interesting.
Google is telling me that even with the price hikes (well above normal inflation) people in the US will be spending about $13.5 billion this year in Halloween spending.
Costumes $4.4 billion
Decorations $4.3 billion
Candy $4.1 billion
Greeting Cards $0.8 billion
And people are spending an individual $115.14
I thought it surprising there wouldn't be more of a difference in candy spending this year due to the higher cocoa prices.
I even saw a YouTube video where bags of Reese's cups were found with maggots in them. Ugh!
Just a bit of what I've seen around so far.
The picture was from Pinterest.

That is very interesting to know. I haven't spent a penny on Halloween this year lol.
That is gross about the maggots in the Reese's cups. Those are one of my favorite chocolate candies too.

@celticeagle That's a good question...who knows!
I will now be watching out for that everytime lol.
Though I don't eat them much anymore, only on a "cheat" day
