Halloween is NOT Christmas . . . but it can definitely get expensive, especially if you have kids. And with prices skyrocketing these days, you might need a payment plan just to cover a bowl of candy for trick-or-treaters.
But it sounds like people are REALLY pulling back this year.
A new poll asked over 7,500 people: "How much do you plan to spend on Halloween this year, including treats, costumes, and festive experiences?" And 32% of people said NOTHING.
22% said "less than $25" total.
19% said $25 to $49 total. So 73% are spending less than $50 this Halloween?
12% said $50 to $99 total.
And just 6% said they'd be dropping $100 or more.
9% said they "weren't sure."
Boomers in the Midwest and South seemed to be cutting back the most.
Another report says the "average" person is expected to spend $114, which honestly sounds more accurate. It's hard to buy much at all for under $50 . . . if you are celebrating.
The 7,500 people were also asked if they planned to give out candy to trick-or-treaters, and 41% said YES. 45% said NO. 14% aren't sure.
And people were asked if they plan to personally "take any children trick-or-treating to other homes" this year, and only 19% said YES. 72% said NO. And 8% aren't sure.
