With Halloween around the corner, kids, teenagers and even some adults will be getting their costumes ready in hopes of scoring big with a pillowcase or bucket full of candy from trick-or-treating.
While it may seem exciting to see all the candy piling up, going through all of it after getting back home can be frustrating if you see too much of a candy bar you cannot stand.
After the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a dip in candy sales across the country in 2020, Halloween is expected to be somewhat near its pre-pandemic celebration. According to the National Retail Federation's annual 2021 Halloween spending survey, around $3 billion is expected to be spent on candy this year, with $10 billion expected to be spent on all things Halloween.
