Study reveals Target has cheapest Halloween candy in Texas

DALLAS (KDAF) — Doing a last minute run for some Halloween candy? A recent study by CashNetUSA reveals that Target offers Halloween candy at prices 20.79% lower than other major stores in Texas.

CashNetUSA checked the prices at over 2,000 grocery stores to identify which store sells branded candy the cheapest in each state and major city.

The study compared the prices of popular Halloween candies, such as Reese’s Cups and M&Ms, across various major retailers in the state to determine where consumers can find the best deals.

The survey of 2,000 Americans found that 52% are planning to spend less on
Halloween candy this year, estimating an average spend of $58 on candy. But, while others
recommend switching from candy to chips to keep Halloween costs down, candy has been
the norm for well over half a century.

The study’s findings are particularly relevant as Halloween approaches, a time when candy sales typically surge.
