72 million Americans are celebrating Halloween and will spend a record amount this year - The National Retail Federation is expecting $12.2 billion to be spent on the haunted holiday with $3.6 billion of that dedicated to purchasing candy.

Most people are doing their shopping for candy, costumes, and decorations right now.

The majority of Halloween shopping happens in the first two weeks of October.

Don't waste your money on candy that no one wants. Candy Store says Circus Peanuts are the most hated Halloween candy followed by Candy Corn, Necco Wafers, Peanut Butter Kisses, and Wax Coke Bottles.
