Halloween Costs on the Rise
As Halloween approaches, Coachella Valley shoppers are facing increasing costs for costumes, decorations, and candy, adding a new challenge to the season.
According to an annual consumer survey by the National Retail Federation, Halloween spending is expected to reach a record $13.1 billion this year, up from $11.6 billion last year.
- Costumes are averaging about $45 per person, a nearly 15% increase from pre-pandemic levels.
- Candy prices are also rising, with a roughly 5% increase from last year, due to high global sugar and cocoa costs.
Economists attribute the increase to several factors, including tariffs on imported goods and higher shipping costs, which have pushed up prices for everything from fabrics to plastics.
