Halloween cancelled? 52% won’t give trick-or-treaters candy this year — many blame inflation
As kids get ready for another Halloween night of costumes, candy, and fun memories, many adults say they simply don’t have the money to celebrate this year. In a poll of 1,056 Americans, a staggering 52 percent say they won’t be handing out Halloween candy to young trick-or-treaters.
Out of these Americans, one in four blame inflation for spoiling this year’s festivities (24%). That shouldn’t come as much of a Halloween shocker, since inflation rose to a 40-year high earlier in 2022.
