For The Costumes, Candy, and Décor: Sam’s Club
Half the fun of Halloween is the preparation. From choosing your favorite superhero costume to hanging up spooky glow-in-the-dark cobwebs on every corner of your home, families in the US are likely to dish out an average of $100 just for the occasion!
Of course, this depends on how intricate you’re willing to go. Regardless, while the kids are building delightful childhood memories, the adults are footing the bill.
That’s why our number one sneakiest way to save this Halloween comes in one fell swoop: Sam’s Club. The offer is simple: become a member today for $25 (instead of $50) and let the savings begin! Here’s how:
- American households are expected to spend an average of $33.75 on costumes this year. At Sam’s Club, a kid’s Wonder Woman costume costs $15 (normally $20), saving you $5 or 25% less while helping you spend $18.75 less than the average household.
- Candy is another big spending factor. This year, Americans are expected to spend an average of $29.51 on candy alone. Sam’s Club has a 30-piece candy box for $21.98, an unbeatable price that we couldn’t find anywhere else, including Walmart’s exact box for $33.99. Sam’s Club box saves you at least $12.01 or 35%.
- As for decorations, Sam’s Club is unmatched. Take this Pre-lit Musical Skeleton Wreath going for $59.98 at the time of this writing. Normally, it’s $79.98, saving you $20 or 25% off the regular price.

For Those Haunted House Sound Effects: SiriusXM
The end of a full-blown pandemic means full-blown festivities. Thus, if you’re planning to drive to a Halloween party or host one yourself, remember that music is a key element of making or breaking a party.
However, there’s no need to pay out of pocket just for your party jams. And who wants ads? Not at this monster mash!
Instead, sign up for SiriusXM Platinum Streaming for three months free and enjoy all the benefits without paying a dime.
Without the free offer, you would be paying $22.99/month. Multiply that by three and your total savings for top-quality music, podcasts, and creepy haunted house wheezing noises comes down to a spooky $69!
Total Savings: $69
For The Monsters Under The Bed: Talkspace
In addition to the creepy haunted house noises next door, Halloween is a centuries-old tradition that brings everyone together for trick-or-treating, games, costume contests, and more. And yet, these social activities can be daunting for many.
Social interactions can be stressful or confusing, and scary movies can be, well, scary! Without the proper skills to navigate the twists and turns of life, it can leave anyone feeling overwhelmed.
The good news is that Talkspace can help you or your teen fight those demons, fast. After a brief assessment, you’ll be talking to a therapist in 48 hours in the safety of your home to give you tips on becoming a real-life superhero.
Worried about sticker shock? Don’t be.
More than 60 million Americans have Talkspace covered by their insurance and you can get $100 off your first month with our in-app Miles offer. Depending on your needs, you can pay as low as $220 per month.
In all, the $100 savings means you would pay $120 per month (45% off) or about $4 per day for unlimited messaging with a therapist!
