Welch’s Halloween Fruit Snacks
- Price: $5.00
Welch’s Halloween fruit snacks are another example of a fun Halloween snack that costs just enough more at Walmart to make it worth shopping for at Five Below. Both stores sell 26-count individually packaged fruit snacks in Halloween shapes, but Walmart’s costs $5.74 — 74 cents more than Five Below’s Welch’s fruit snacks.
Pitchfork Costume Prop
- Price: $2.00
Need a simple red pitchfork to accompany a devil costume? You can’t beat Five Below’s price of $2 for this Halloween accessory. Similar Halloween pitchforks at Walmart cost a whopping $16.
Halloween Ghost Decor
- Price: $7.00
Five Below fans may be pleasantly surprised to find that the store sells the cheapest version of a light-up ghost in town. Similar items from beyond the grave at Walmart will likely set you back a few more dollars. For example, this slightly larger light-up ghost decoration is $16.85 at Walmart.Â
