Halloween is right around the corner. According to some new numbers – despite high inflation – shoppers plan to spend about three times in holiday candy than last year!
RetailMeNot reports nationwide, most people spent dollar amounts around the mid-thirties for candy last year – and it’s bumped up to nearly $110 this year! That means shoppers are spending around 200% more this year.
