Balancing the fun of Halloween with the reality of budget constraints is a challenge many face. Fear not! There are plenty of clever and cost-effective ways to ensure you’re fully stocked with treats without breaking the bank.

In this guide, we’ll explore practical and creative strategies for saving money on Halloween candy, ensuring that you can enjoy a festive and budget-friendly holiday.

Get ready to discover how to delight trick-or-treaters with a sweet stash that keeps both your wallet and the neighborhood kids happy!

Ding-dong! It’s time to start building your stockpile of candy for the annual parade of trick-or-treaters Oct. 31. It’s estimated Americans spend approximately $1o billion (!) on candy every year for Halloween.

Of course, bargain boogeymen can be frightened by the high prices on candy this time of the year. We all want to be generous with every witch, superhero and little goblin that comes knockin’ at the door, but we also don’t want to break the bank. Plus, let’s be honest, every family needs a few extra bags for sampling at home.

We’ve scared up a few tips and tricks for finding sweet savings and cheap Halloween candy.

1. Clip and save candy coupons

No need for any spells to find savings on candy — just a good pair of scissors and a bargain hunter’s eye. Because the candy competition is at its peak in October, the market is flooded with coupons just about everywhere you look.

You will easily find manufacturer’s coupons in every Sunday paper and printable coupons online. You can also find coupons right on packages or tear pads in the store aisles. And, now that we live in the digital age, also be sure to check each of your shopper loyalty accounts for digital coupons.

2. Purchase Halloween candy in multiples

Every retailer and candy manufacturer wants you to buy more candy, so they’re quick to offer an incentive. Just about every store offers a discount for multiple purchases — the more you buy, the more you save. Typically, it’s buy a designated amount of bagged candy and save an additional dollar amount off at check-out.

If you do the math, it would simply be frightening to not buy a few more bags and pocket the savings. Even better, use manufacturer’s coupons on top of the sale price for scream-worthy Halloween candy savings.

3. Check the regular candy aisle, too

It’s hard to resist the big display of candy amid the large cardboard cut-outs of haunted trees and pumpkins in every store. However, don’t forget to check the regular candy aisle, too.

Of course, stores want you to focus on the Halloween-themed candy they’re pushing, but that doesn’t mean sales and discounts don’t exist in the regular candy aisle. In the end, who cares if the candy wrapper has a ghost on it or the chocolate is shaped like a pumpkin? All everyone cares about is the sweet treat inside!

4. Don’t overlook full-size candy bar deals

It’s easy to discount full-size bars as too expensive to hand out to trick-or-treaters. However, you might be surprised at the powerful potion of coupons and sale prices. Not only is bagged candy on sale, but full-size candy bars often get the same treatment, too.

Many stores offer candy bars for two for $1 or BOGO free. When you combine the sale with a manufacturer’s coupon, you can often get full-size candy bars for around 25 cents each or, even better, free.

The best places to buy Halloween candy are at grocery chains that double coupons, so you get extra savings. Full-size candy bars will definitely make you the hit of the neighborhood by any kid’s standard. Or just purchase a few of the discounted full-size candy bars for family members or those extra-special kids on your block.

5. Buy Halloween candy in bulk

If you’re expecting lots little ones ringing your bell on Halloween night, consider buying candy in bulk at a wholesale club. (And read our articles about saving money at Costco and Sam’s Club for more year-round tips.)

They aren’t the cheapest places to buy Halloween candy, but their prices are usually less than what you’d pay at the grocery store.

To really get in on the Halloween savings, ask friends, neighbors or co-workers to split the cost. Have the person with the club membership buy several bags of candy and  then have a grown-up gathering to divvy up the goods and the bill.

6. Consider candy alternatives

You don’t want to be the neighborhood witch or warlock, but who says you’re required to hand out candy? If you find a great deal (check the clearance racks) on little trinkets or toys, stickers, books or party favors, consider handing those out instead of candy.

Or, use it to supplement your candy supply — switch back and forth between candy and toys. Kids may feel slightly tricked, but parents will appreciate your efforts to save their sweet tooth … literally. Plus, it’s always good to have options on hand for children with food allergies.

7. Hand out coupons, not treats

If you’re looking for convenience and low cost, consider buying Halloween coupons books at national fast-food chains. For $1, you can usually get five to 10 coupons good for a FREE small cone or shake.

The most popular are from McDonald’s and the Boo Book from Wendy’s. (The price paid for each coupon definitely outweighs the regular price of each treat, often a savings of 75% or more.) Of course, the fast-food chains are hoping that, when the children redeem the coupon, parents will tag along and spend some dough on other menu items. That’s why they offer them so cheaply!

8. Buy last season’s candy

This tip is for true cheapskates. With candy being so central to just about every holiday, be strategic and buy the clearance candy from previous holidays in the year — think Valentine’s Day, Easter and Fourth of July — and stash it away for Halloween.

Once a holiday is over, stores need to get rid of all the extra candy on the shelves and prepare for the new shipment of candy for whatever holiday is next. With a little patience, you can often get candy at 90% off.

Chocolate is not an option because it’s challenging to store and often has a short shelf life. However, if you stick with hard candy, gummies and chewing gum, you should be fine, as most have expiration dates of six months to a year. You could even shop this year’s Halloween candy sales and hide the bags of goodies until next October rolls around.

Non-Candy Halloween Options 

If you don’t want to spend money on Halloween candy this year – don’t. You can easily hand out other items that are inexpensive and fun! 

What can I hand out to kids on Halloween instead of candy? 

Here are some fun and creative alternatives to candy that you can hand out to kids on Halloween:

1. Stickers and Temporary Tattoos: Kids love decorating themselves and their belongings with fun designs.
2. Glow Sticks or Bracelets: These are always a hit and help keep kids visible while trick-or-treating.
3. Mini Toys: Think small items like bouncy balls, toy cars, or plastic animals.
4. Pencils and Erasers: Halloween-themed stationery can be both fun and useful.
5. Bubbles: Small bottles of bubbles can provide endless entertainment.
6. Bookmarks: Encourage reading with fun, themed bookmarks.
7. Crayons or Colored Pencils: Pair them with a small coloring book or sheet.
8. Puzzle or Activity Books: These can keep kids entertained long after Halloween is over.

These options can be just as exciting for kids and offer a nice break from the usual candy haul!

Can I donate leftover candy after Halloween? 

Donating leftover Halloween candy is a great idea! Many organizations accept candy donations, which can be used to bring joy to others. Here are a few options:

1. Local Food Banks: They often accept candy donations to distribute to needy families.
2. Troop Support Organizations: Groups like Operation Gratitude send care packages to troops overseas and often include candy.
3. Nursing Homes and Hospitals: Check with local facilities to see if they accept candy donations for residents or patients.
4. Schools and Community Centers: Some may use candy for events or rewards.
5. Charity Events: Look for local charity events that might appreciate candy donations for fundraising or community activities.

Always check with the organization first to ensure they accept candy donations and to understand any specific guidelines they might have.

Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s time for spooky fun and neighborhood camaraderie. One delightful tradition that has taken communities by storm is the playful game of “You’ve been booed.”

So grab your printables, gather your treats, and get ready to transform your neighborhood into a hub of ghostly giggles and ghoulish surprises!

What does it mean to be “booed” at Halloween?

In the world of Halloween festivities, being “booed” is a delightful and spirited tradition that brings communities together with a touch of mystery and fun. This playful activity involves secretly leaving a small gift or treat on a neighbor’s doorstep, often accompanied by a poem or note.

The recipient then continues the chain by “booing” two more neighbors, spreading the joy and Halloween spirit throughout the neighborhood. It’s a heartwarming way to foster goodwill and connection among neighbors, as each participant adds their personal touch to the treats they share.

Whether it’s a bag of candy, homemade cookies, or a charming Halloween decoration, “booing” is a simple yet effective way to create a sense of belonging and excitement during the spooky season.

What items are added to a “boo” bag for Halloween?

Filled with goodies and surprises, these bags are like mini treasure troves waiting to be discovered. When putting together a boo bag, consider including a mix of treats and tricks.

Popular items often include an assortment of Halloween candies, small toys such as glow-in-the-dark spiders or skeletons, and themed stickers. To add a personalized touch, include a handwritten note or a spooky poem to enhance the mystery.

For those who like to get a bit crafty, consider adding homemade goodies like cookies shaped like ghosts or little bags of popcorn with a Halloween twist. The goal is to spread joy and a little fright, creating a sense of community and excitement as neighbors and friends pass these surprise packages from one house to another.

How do I keep my carved pumpkins from molding? 

To keep your carved pumpkins from molding and extend their lifespan, try these tips:

• Clean Thoroughly: After carving, remove all the pulp and seeds from inside the pumpkin. Rinse it with water to remove any remaining bits.
• Petroleum Jelly: Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly on the carved edges and inside the carved pumpkin to lock in moisture and slow dehydration.
• Cool Location: Keep your pumpkin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Refrigerate Overnight: Place your pumpkin in the fridge overnight to keep it fresh.
• Hydrate: If your pumpkin shrinks, soak it in cold water for a few hours to rehydrate it.
• Use a Sealant: Consider using a pumpkin preservation spray or a clear acrylic spray to seal the pumpkin and protect it from mold.

By following these steps, you can help your carved pumpkins last longer and look great throughout Halloween! 

Can I eat the pumpkin seeds from my carved pumpkin?

Absolutely! Pumpkin seeds from your carved pumpkin are edible, delicious, and nutritious. However, NEVER eat the seeds if you’ve used a cleaner or sealant on the inside of the pumpkin before removing them.

If you plan on eating the seeds, they need to be removed FIRST before any type of cleaning or sealing of the carved pumpkin occurs. 

Here’s how you can prepare them once they are removed: 

1. Clean the Seeds: Rinse the seeds in a colander to remove any pulp and strings. Pat them dry with a towel.
2. Season: Toss the seeds with olive oil, salt, and any other seasonings you like, such as garlic powder, paprika, or cinnamon, for a sweet twist.
3. Roast: Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and crunchy.

Here are 10 budget-friendly hacks gathered from experienced parents to help your school year run smoothly without the daily chaos.

Photo credit: Deposit photos

Centralize the Family Schedule

Keeping everyone on the same page prevents forgotten field trips and last-minute panic.

• Use a Large Visual Board: Hang a dry-erase wall calendar or a magnetic whiteboard in a central area like the kitchen or hallway.

• Log Events Immediately: The moment a permission slip, practice schedule, or parent-teacher conference comes up, write it on the board before adding it to your phone alerts.

• Color Code: Assign a specific marker color to each family member so anyone can see who needs to be where at a glance.

Foster Morning Independence with Alarm Clocks

Getting kids out of bed doesn’t have to fall entirely on your shoulders.

• Let Kids Pick Their Own Clock: Give children ownership of their mornings by letting them pick out a fun, old-school digital or analog alarm clock.

• Ditch the Phones: Using standalone alarm clocks allows you to keep smartphones and tablets out of bedrooms overnight, leading to better sleep and less morning screen distraction.

Streamline Transport & Commuting

Driving back and forth all day is a massive time and gas sink.

• Coordinate a Carpool: Connect with neighborhood parents to split pickup and drop-off duties for school or extracurriculars.

• Share Contacts: Ensure all participating parents have each other’s contact details printed on the fridge and shared with the school main office.

• Look into Student Transit: For older kids, check local public bus schedules; many cities offer discounted student passes.

Master Prep Work the Night Before

Mornings run infinitely smoother when the heavy lifting is already finished.

• Pack Lunches Early: Assemble lunches the night before and keep them refrigerated. Grabbing a pre-made bag at 7:00 AM eliminates morning debates over meals.

• Layout Outfits Entirely: Have kids choose their clothing—including socks, shoes, and hair accessories—the night before so there’s no last-minute search for missing items.

Adjust Bath and Evening Routines

Freeing up bathroom space in the morning reduces stress for everyone.

• Nighttime Baths: Shift younger children’s bath or shower times to the evening before bed.

• Stagger Schedules: Bathing kids at night leaves the bathroom open for teens and adults who need morning prep time.

Prep After-School Snacks Ahead of Time

When kids walk through the door starving, easy junk food is usually their first choice.

• Grab-and-Go Stations: Keep pre-cut veggies with dip, fresh fruit, or whole-grain muffins ready on a low fridge shelf or counter.

• Protect Dinner: Portion out reasonable snacks so kids get a quick energy boost without ruining their appetite for dinner.

Photo credit: Deposit photos

Enforce a “Homework First” Rule

Preventing late-night homework marathons starts with consistent habits.

• Set Clear Boundaries: Make it a family standard that homework is completed before screen time or video games are allowed.

• Review Assignments Daily: Check completed work every evening and keep track of long-term projects so science experiments and book reports aren’t tackled the night before they’re due.

Create a “Drop Zone” for Backpacks

Clutter builds up fast when kids dump their bags wherever they drop them.

• Use Dedicated Bins: Assign a plastic bin, cubby, or hook near the entry door for each child.

• Sort Daily: Have kids immediately place backpacks, permission slips, and flyers into their designated bin as soon as they walk inside.

Coordinate a Parent Backup Plan

Unexpected sick days and workday emergencies are bound to happen.

• Divide and Conquer: Decide with your partner in advance who can take off work on specific days of the week if a child stays home.

• Build a Network: Establish a backup list of trustworthy relatives, neighbors, or local drop-in childcare programs so you aren’t scrambling in an emergency.

Keep Things Flexible and Simple

No routine is perfect, and flexibility is key to surviving the school year. Focus on small, consistent habits rather than perfection, and clean out storage bins and schedules periodically to keep things manageable.

We love cheap eats — and this time of year, tomatoes qualify. So do zucchini and corn.

They’re versatile, too. As kids, we used to pick them warm from the garden and eat them like apples. Sliced on a plate, with a touch of sea salt, they need no other adornment. But let’s give it a shot, anyway.

Fresh tomatoes dress up any salad, add pizzazz to soups, can be broiled as a side dish (top halves with a little cheese), and diced or sliced thinly for homemade pizza. And don’t forget to make homemade salsa, using fresh green chiles. It rocks.

Here are some of our favorite ways to use fresh tomatoes:

Bruschetta with tomato and basil 

Fresh garden tomatoes at the peak of ripeness is what makes this eminently simple dish a gourmet delight. 

Classic Italian Bruschetta Recipe

In a bowl, put diced ripe tomatoes (at least one large per person), chopped fresh sweet basil, a touch of garlic, a dash of good olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to marinate.

Meanwhile, toast some slices of leftover baguette or ciabatta bread. Top the toasted bread with the tomato mixture and add a few shavings of Parmesan cheese. We’ll bet you’re going to find it better than any you’ve ever had in a restaurant. Makes a great light lunch or a company appetizer.

Fresh tomato pasta

Cook some of your favorite pasta — even tortellini or ravioli. While it’s cooking, pour a dab of olive oil into a skillet, add some garlic and cook gently for a few minutes. Add a couple of cups of diced fresh tomato per person and stir, heating through. Add a sprinkle of fresh chopped basil and salt and pepper to taste.

Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce and serve with some fresh-grated Parmesan cheese. It makes a perfect light, vegetarian supper on its own, or a great side dish with grilled chicken or fish. If you like things spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes (with the garlic) to the “sauce” — or dress it up with a handful of chopped black olives. Add a little more olive oil to finish, if needed.

Fresh tomato soup

Once you eat fresh tomato soup, you’ll never go back to canned.

In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter (or olive oil). Add 1 large onion, chopped; one large carrot, chopped; and one stalk of celery, sliced. Sauté the vegetables over medium heat till carrot is tender. Sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of flour and stir well for about 30 seconds, to coat vegetables. Then add 1 tablespoon tomato paste and stir again. Now add 1 pound of fresh, ripe tomatoes, chopped. Stir and then add 1 ½ cups of chicken or vegetable stock and stir again. Add 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, a bay leaf (optional), a few sprigs of fresh parsley, a pinch of thyme and ½ teaspoon of paprika.

Stir all together well and bring to a low simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf and – either with a stick immersion blender or a regular blender – puree till smooth. (Be careful when pureeing hot foods — don’t overload the blender and keep a kitchen towel handy in case it splatters.) Pour mixture back into the pot and add 2½ cups of milk. Heat but do not boil. Taste to correct seasoning (it may need salt and you may like to add some pepper). Serves 4.

This is a great way to use overripe tomatoes past their prime.

Fresh homemade tomato salsa

Photo: Jamie Coupaud on Unsplash

Dice up four or more fresh tomatoes straight from your garden and add chopped cilantro, onion, fresh jalapeño, and salt and pepper. This is the freshest, most delicious pico de gallo salsa we’ve ever tried! And with only four ingredients, plus salt and pepper, it’s also one of the easiest homemade salsas to whip up directly from your garden. 

Summer tomato salad

You’ll find numerous versions of this tomato salad recipe on the web; what makes it so wonderful in the summertime is that you can easily find every ingredient at its freshest – maybe even from your own vegetable garden! 

The basic ingredients of a light and delicious summer tomato salad include:

• Tomatoes – either slicing tomatoes, roma, or even grape size
• Onion – either red, green, or sweet Vidalia
• Vinaigrette – use a prepared dressing or combine quality oil with a nice vinegar

Once you have your basic salad, you can make several variations depending on the other ingredients you have on hand. Toss in cool cucumber for the classic light summer dish, add an avocado for healthy fat, or add mozzarella to give your summer tomato salad an Italian flare.

Except it does: Sweet corn, in season, is really cheap. It starts out at two for $1, then four, then … well who knows? At farmer’s markets, especially at the end of the day, sometimes you can get six or more for a buck. Such a deal.

Eat cheaply and well this summer with our favorite recipes for sweet corn.

How to cook corn on the cob

Boiled corn on the cob

Fresh sweet corn is great just as is, shucked and dropped into a pot of boiling water for about four to five minutes. (Don’t overcook it.) Slather on a little butter and sprinkle on some salt and you’re in heaven.

You can get fancy and make some flavored butter to go on your cob. Just soften a stick of butter and add a handful of your favorite chopped herb, such as chives, rosemary or cilantro. You can even infuse the butter with chipotle or other chilies. Mix well, then place the butter on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll it up, twisting the ends, to make a tube of butter. Refrigerate till use.  Spread the flavored butter on hot corn. Yum.

Give your corn a cheesy twist by sprinkling on finely grated cheese (we like Parmesan) while it’s hot. Or try a flavored salt.

Grilled corn on the cob

To get a smoky flavor, grill your corn. Follow these instructions from the Food Network to get perfectly grilled corn on the cob. It takes about 20 minutes. Add your favorite seasoning preference or flavored butter. 

Roasted corn on the cob

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Shuck your corn and rinse the ears. One by one, spread each ear with softened butter and wrap individually in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven on a high-temp cookie sheet or sheet pan for 25 to 30 minutes, or until kernels are tender.

Campfire corn on the cob

Soak your sweet corn ears (in the husk), fully submerged in the water, for about two hours. Place soaked sweet corn on grill grate above your campfire and turn often to avoid burning the husk. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until the corn kernels are tender. Remove from fire and allow to cool slightly, then peel and enjoy with butter, salt, and pepper. 

You can also cook corn on the cob in the embers or coals of a fire, wrapped in aluminum foil. Follow this recipe from Bon Appetit if you’ve got a charcoal fire.

Sweet corn recipes

If you prefer your corn off the cob, the possibilities are endless:

• • Corn chowder
  • Corn pudding
  • Corn salad
  • Corn cakes
  • Corn bread
  • Corn salsa

You’ll find tons more recipes online.

When the corn gets to the end of the season and becomes a little starchy or too tough, many of these applications work well. If you end up buying too much corn, you can always freeze it for future use.

Fresh sweet corn is good for you, too. It’s high in fiber and gluten-free. It contains some B-complex vitamins, such as thiamin, niacin, folate and pantothenic acid. It also contains minerals such as zinc, magnesium, copper, iron and manganese.

And the bonus: It also tastes soooooooo good.

Here are a few of our tried-and-true recipes.

Corn oysters recipe (corn fritters)

Photo: Deposit Photos

I like to make corn oysters as a side dish for a late summer or early fall dinner.

• 2 cups of fresh corn (cut off the cob)
• ¼ cup flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 eggs, separated
• Cooking oil

In a mixing bowl, combine corn, flour, and salt and pepper. Add milk and egg yolks and combine.

In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold them into the corn mixture gently but thoroughly.

Heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick skillet and drop corn mixture by heaping tablespoons onto hot oil, like you’re making pancakes. Cook a few minutes on each side, till golden. Remove to a paper-towel-lined platter and keep warm until all are cooked. Serve immediately.

This recipe makes about 20 “oysters.” Figure on three or four per person.

Southwestern corn salad

One of my favorite ways to use fresh corn (or frozen, in a pinch, off-season) is with this Southwestern corn salad.

In a large mixing bowl or plastic container, combine

• 3 cups corn
• 1 (15–ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 2 ripe tomatoes (cored, seeded and diced)
• 1 (4-ounce) can mild diced green chilies (or jalapeños, if you prefer a spicier salad)
• 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic,
• 3 tablespoons fresh minced cilantro
• 5-6 scallions (green and white parts minced)
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice
• ¼ cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Let the mixture sit at least 3 hours, refrigerated, before serving, to meld flavors. Serves 10. It’s great for summer parties and tailgates because it doesn’t spoil easily. It also doubles as a salsa.

Use these fun ideas to get the kids active during the summer months! Creative activities and ideas for kids! 

Search no more. Here are simple crafts, fun games and yummy recipes that your kiddos can do to have fun and keep busy over school vacation. (Depending on their age, some kids may need more grown-up help than others)

Craft Time

• This Tie Dye Butterfly is cute and the kids will love seeing the colors blend to create beautiful wings.
• I know my son would have a ball making (and throwing) many of these Paper Helicopters.
• These Glitter Bracelets might require a quick trip to the hardware store, but I think it’d be worth it.
• If the weather is nice where you live, you may want to try this Exploding Art Project. It’s a bit messy, yet can provide a lasting memory.
• These Easy Birdseed Feeders may help bring some feathered friends to your yard as spring is beginning.
• These Cosmic Sun Catchers are a pretty, simple, and not too time consuming. I can see us making several of these.

Game Time

• This Frisbee Golf looks like a lot of fun for outdoors or if you have a good-size playroom.
  
• I can already hear the laughing at the results of Tag Team Drawing.
• Update that old Guess Who? game in the back of the closet. For younger kids, use family pictures. For older ones, try using pictures of famous historical figures and encourage questions based on their role in history, time period, etc.

What’s to Eat?

• Making Ice Cream in a Bag is an activity and yummy treat all rolled into one. One tip: Use pot holders when making this to keep hands from freezing.
• I’ve been wanting to make Homemade Poptarts for ages. Many can be made with as little as two ingredients — refrigerated pie dough and jam. Or go all out and make your own pie dough and a glaze. My mouth is watering with all the possible filling ideas: Nutella, lemon pie filling, pumpkin pie filling, and an assortment of jams or jellies.
• Easy Pumpkin Muffins can be created with as little as two ingredients: cake mix and canned pumpkin. It’s your decision whether to add spices or not. Try with yellow, chocolate or spice cake mix. Yum.
