How to Get Cheap or Free Candy to Hand Out on Halloween in Idaho

Halloween is coming, and time is running out to get everything you need. By now, decorations should be set up, costume shopping should be complete or nearly complete, and buying candy should be the last thing on the checklist. The problem is that this year, Halloween candy prices are outrageous, and by the time you buy everything else, candy might be out of the Halloween budget. There are ways you can get cheaper candy or even free candy to hand out to trick-or-treaters this year in Idaho, if you know the secrets. 

Finding Affordable Candy for Halloween in Idaho

When shoppers go to buy their Halloween candy to hand out, most stores will have the candy near the front of the store with other Halloween decorations, but pay attention closely, and you will realize that you can get candy for a better price. These bags are often decorated with Halloween wrappers and are intended to be handed out on the spooky holiday, but if you make your way to the normal candy aisle, you will notice you can find the same candy, in a normal wrapper, for a much more affordable cost. Yes, candy is expensive no matter when you buy it or how it is wrapped, but why pay full price when you can get the same candy that tastes just as good but isn't decorated for the holiday? At this time of year, every dollar and cent matters, and saving a little can help for the upcoming holidays. If this still isn't a big enough hack, you can also get free candy to hand out.

Trunk-or-treats have become all the rage over the years, and because of them, Halloween events are taking place nearly all October long. If you have kids, odds are you will hit a few of these events and begin collecting candy weeks before Halloween. There are so many trunk-or-treats, and some get Halloween fatigue before the actual holiday arrives. They also get so much candy that they don't need more or know what to do with it all. If you are someone who is taking your kids trick-or-treating throughout October, when Halloween arrives, take some of the candy you already have, especially the ones you don't like, and hand those out to trick-or-treaters. You can put them in a bowl for them to take while you take your kids out, or hand them out if you choose to, while lessening the stash you already have. It may upset your kids, but they will still have plenty to choose from.
