Every fall, just as sure as the leaves change color, grocery stores are overrun with pumpkin spice products of all kinds and Halloween items galore. By now, you've probably already noticed the displays of festive treats taking up ever more shelf space at your local supermarket.
Out of all the holidays, Halloween is unsurprisingly the biggest for candy sales.

Even amid concerns over inflation, half of consumers are expecting to spend $51 or more on candy alone in 2024, a new report by Advanced Solutions shows.

To make it even easier, we've rounded up some of the best Halloween candy deals available right now.
