It’s not truly Halloween without plenty of Halloween candy. Whether you stock up for all your neighborhood trick-or-treaters outfitted in the best Halloween costumes or simply want enough to munch on all night long, picking up a substantial amount of Halloween candy is a holiday must. While we all want to be the house that passes out king-size candy bars to the entire neighborhood, it can be costly to do so. Luckily, there are so many different places where you can pick up cheap Halloween candy full of all the favorites: big candy bars, fun-size pieces and gooey gummies.
To get the most bang from your buck, head to Amazon, Walmart, Target and other online retailers to find popular Halloween candy at an affordable price point. You'll find Halloween classics (candy corn), sweet-and-sour favorites (Sour Patch Kids) and even new Halloween treats to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. Plus, you can stock up on bulk-size assortments, so you have more than enough candy to hand out on Halloween night as well as during your Halloween party. Get enough so it can even be the reward for your party Halloween games!
Beware: Place your order ASAP since a lot of the most coveted brands typically sell out before Fright Night hits — just be careful not to eat the entire bag!
Does candy get cheaper after Halloween?
Yes, Halloween candy is the cheapest right after the holiday has passed! Directly after Halloween, bulk candy for the holiday often gets heavily marked down. So, if you’ve still got a sweet tooth after Halloween night, take advantage of those sales to stock up on candy for the rest of the spooky season. Some unopened candy can even last up to a year, so stock up for the next year directly after the holiday ends.
Is buying candy in bulk cheaper?
One of the cheapest hacks for Halloween candy? Buy in bulk. Halloween candy can be expensive, but buying in bulk gives you the most bang for your buck. Most Halloween candy deals are for bulk, so it’s the best way to get the most value for the greatest amount of candy. Plus, you know you’ll have plenty for all your trick or treaters, and a little extra never hurt.
Amazon
If you're a member, take advantage of Amazon Prime perks like two-day shipping come Halloween. Make sure you're ordering from the actual candy retailer and not a third-party seller, which can be dangerous because it's not packaged to the company's same standards.
Target
Take advantage of Target's bulk buys, but don't overlook the $5-and-under section in the front of the store. Not only do they have under-the-radar deals on adorable Halloween decorations for your yard, but your local store may also have some cheap candy in there, too.
Walmart
Make sure and check each package’s quantity, because although some of these variety bags cost the same, they come with a different amount of candies. To make sure you're leaving no trick-or-treater behind, it's always a good idea to get as many candies as possible (and hey, you'll be happy to have a few extra).
Sam's Club
Tip: Load up on a few variety packs to please different palettes. Not only will you be the coolest house on the street, but you'll probably have a variety of candies that you can save for yourself. A win-win for everyone involved!
Party City
Party City has a little bit of everything, from decorations to plenty of items for a homemade Halloween costume. Plus, a killer selection of Halloween candy. Aside from the classic assortments of goodies, find bags big enough to please all of your party guests and more specialized candies that align with specific themes.
Oriental Trading Company
If you’re looking for a bulk buy, look no further than Oriental Trading Company. Not only do they have impressive deals on 1,000-piece assortments and novelty candy, they also have tons of Halloween-themed offerings for anyone looking to tap into the frights and fun that the holiday brings.
