Is it just me or have candy prices done the Monster Mash in the last couple of years?

I can respect the candy, costumes and decorations, but stop encouraging my aunt to send the cards already.

My next-door neighbor contributes to most of the increase. How many 15 foot decorations do you need in your yard? I miss the days of a carved pumpkin with a candle.

Back in the day if you had decorations you made them. The whole thing became a pay-to-play gimmick once the inflatables became available at every big box store.

Cards are so expensive. It’s probably like one person buying a card that’s making it onto the graph

Wtf is a Halloween card? I’ve never seen or heard of anyone sending or receiving a Halloween card.

My wife and I are helping out on that Candy spend. I think we spent ~$350 USD last year.

Spooky colors work well for this type of graph!
Also, surprised that decorations isn’t higher with all these 18 ft skeletons everywhere.
