From pumpkins to candy, you can expect to pay a lot more this year for Halloween, but local families have some tricks to deal with the creeping inflation.
Families at the pumpkin patch on Saturday are finding ways to save in other places.
“Usually for Halloween we make our own costumes and we’ve had the same decoration for the last few years,” said Amy Grisenger, a San Diego resident and mother of two. Despite rising Halloween costs, people aren’t scared away. The average American household is expected to spend $100 on Halloween this year. That's up from about $86 in 2019, according to a survey by the“My kids, as soon as we were pulling up, were so excited and that’s what’s more important to us.

Halloween spending in the U.S. is expected to reach a record $10.6 billion this year, according to the National Retail Federation, surpassing last year's record of $10.1 billion.
