A $10 bag of candy you’re buying now would’ve cost $9.82 last year.
“It is the candy buying holiday of the year, and so a lot of consumers are concerned how much are they going to spend to make that last second run to fill up the bowl of candy on the front porch,” said Ben Meadows, Assistant Professor of Economics at the Collat School of Business at UAB.shows overall, Halloween spenders expect to shell out an average of $172 on things like activities, decorations, costumes, and candy.
“If you’re talking about from a year ago, candy is up by a little bit, 1.8%, but again, these are not really large numbers when you think about how small of a price candy is,” he added.“For many consumers, if they did not buy Halloween candy last year or the years previous, they will get a little bit of sticker shock because all accumulated effects of inflation have built year by year by year,” said Meadows.
