According to the discussion, Halloween spending is expected to reach 13 and a half billion dollars, up slightly from last year and roughly on par. Consumers are still spending mainly on candy, costumes and home decorations despite higher gas prices, inflation and borrowing costs, but they are shopping more carefully. They are shopping earlier to spread their budgets, a trend that has run for about 10 years, and buying from more places, including online, home improvement stores and small local businesses, with a record number planning to spend at small businesses. Shoppers are looking for unique costumes and decorations that reflect their personal style or sense of humor.
