7 Best Items To Buy at Walmart Before Halloween

End of summer might seem like an odd time to start loading up on Halloween wares. Then again, Halloween is all about embracing the delightful oddness of life, so why not stock up on items that can help you turn your home into a haunted hideaway? If you’re a Walmart shopper, you can get a head start on your spooky shopping spree — and enjoy some not so scary savings.

GOBankingRates took a look at some of the Halloween savings at Walmart that will make you want to do the monster mash. From costumes to décor to sweet treats, Walmart has the goodies that will inspire you to make every day Halloween.

Not all autumnal décor has to look like it would belong in a Bela Lugosi flick. This elegant 25-inch tabletop tree, lit by LED lights and accompanied by its own pumpkin patch, already comes at the low price of $17.59, but you can get even greater value out of it by keeping it as your centerpiece until Thanksgiving.

Getting up in the middle of the night doesn’t have to be scary with this adorable night light featuring two ghosties roasting marshmallows over a roaring campfire.

Let this unexpectedly cozy scene illuminate your bathroom, bedroom or any area in the house that could use a good glow. It’s only $9.88, and there’s no reason why you can’t use it all year ’round.

This gorgeous wreath brings an ethereal beauty to your front door, or anywhere you’d like within your home, with its purple light and plush arrangement of flowers. The crescent moon and black cat evoke the requisite spookiness of the season, but with an elegance that will have your guests swooning instead of screaming.

The price is also very swoon-worthy at only $21.99. 

Sometimes, a classic approach to Halloween décor is simply the best approach. Whether you’re looking to light the way for trick or treaters or to delight party guests in your home, you’d do well to get these Jack O’ Lantern string lights for only $3.99. 

If you want to have the outdoor décor that the neighborhood kids will remember when they’re well into their adult years, try this 9-foot inflatable alien decoration. Equipped with LED lights that make the blue interior glow eerily, this vividly-rendered alien decoration might well convince you that you’re enjoying a live-action episode of the X-Files.

While it is $95.99, it’s worth every penny just for how cool it is.

It’s just not a Halloween party without fog. And unless you have a ton of dry ice and a megawatt fan, there’s no fog without a fog machine.

Fortunately, you don’t have to break the bank to create a fog straight out of the “Thriller” video. This powerful fog machine is only $52.99. 

Who says that all ghosts have to be white? This rainbow iridescent ghost, lit with 100 LED lights, offers a bright and colorful spin on the traditional Halloween ghost that will prove hauntingly alluring to people who appreciate modern, fun décor.

At only $21.43, it comes with a price that’s more treat than trick.
