Halloween Goodies

Trick-or-treating is a fun for kids, but can put a dent in your budget!

There are several options for saving money. One is to shop at Sams Club or other warehouse shopping clubs. Buying a larger quantity saves you money, and if your neighborhood is like mine, you will have a lot of trick-or-treaters!

Check your local grocery store and drug store weekly ads for sales. Also check the mail ads for K-Mart, Wal-Mart, and Target sales.

Buy candy at the Dollar Tree (everything is $1) or other dollar stores. You may not get the same brand as you find at Wal-Mart but it will be a comparable product. You can also get goodie bags there if you plan to bag up your items.

The discount stores also have non-candy items to add to your bags, like Halloween pencils, pencil tops, erasers, plastic spiders, and spinning tops.

Check your newspaper or mail ads for coupons. You can also find many online that you can print out and use at most grocery stores, drug stores, and discount stores.
