Gordie’s Midday Gossip: Halloween is going to cost you this year

Dog Halloween Costume

Two new polls on Halloween spending just landed. And it’s not a cheap holiday, especially for parents.

One poll found the average person who celebrates will spend $289. But that includes parents AND non-parents.

If you’re celebrating without kids, it’s $193. But the average parent will shell out 445 BUCKS. (!!!)

Here’s a quick breakdown of that $289 average, and where the money goes:

1. $58 on costumes

2. $57 on decorations

3. $51 on party supplies

4. $51 on tickets for things like haunted houses

5. $50 on candy for trick-or-treaters

6. $23 on other stuff

A separate poll pegged the total spend at $296, so right around 300 bucks. That one found we’ll spend $33 on costumes for our PETS this year.
