While the pandemic dampened Halloween celebrations, the National Retail Federation estimates says Halloween activities will return to pre-pandemic levels. In fact, 73% of American’s will celebrate this year (up from 69% last year) and that spending this year will reach a record $12.2 billion (up from $10.6 billion last year). Average spending is expected to be about $108 on costumes (for people and pets), candy, home or yard decoration, and cards. #IdeaoftheDay
