The air is turning crisper and soon the leaves will be changing colors, which can only mean one thing — Halloween is almost here! Whether you keep it simple or go all out for the holiday, Costco has a number of Halloween items that offer significant savings over its Walmart alternatives.
Stock your candy dish, snack for days and cozy up by the campfire with these Costco finds.
Halloween Candy
When trick-or-treaters knock on your door, delight them with a selection of Halloween candy that you can get at Costco for much less than you can get it at Walmart. In particular, a 60-count box of Rice Krispies Treats breaks down to just $0.27 per ounce, while Walmart’s version with fewer bars comes out to $0.40 per ounce.
A bag of Hershey’s Miniatures can fill up your candy bowl for sweet treats all season, or be a great treat to pass out on trick-or-treat night. A 56 ounce bag at Costco costs $20.99 and comes out to $0.38 per ounce, while the smaller back that Walmart offers is $0.53 per ounce when regularly priced.
Halloween Snacks
Whether you need to send snacks for a classroom Halloween party or just make sure there are things to grab and eat at home, Costco’s got you covered. The Utz Bats & Jack Shaped Halloween Pretzels are just $0.11 each when you buy a 70-count box at Costco. Walmart’s box only includes 36 bags which cost almost $0.20 each.
Campfire Treats
Cozy fall nights call for a crackling campfire and, of course, s’mores. Costco’s Hershey’s S’Mores Kit Flavor Combos has something for everyone whether you’re craving a peanut buttery or caramel flavored s’more, or you want to stick to the classic chocolate-marshmallow-graham cracker combo. This combo pack is $12.47 at Costco, and its classic Hershey’s S’mores Kit counterpart is available at Walmart for $9.92 which is significantly more per ounce.
