How much do you spend to decorate and prepare for Halloween each year? I know I usually stress about the costume and what I'm going to wear to parties.
With a record 170 million people planning to celebrate Halloween this year, the holiday continues to be embraced by many as a time to let loose and have a good time. That also means a lot of money will be spent. Spending on the holiday is expected to rise to $8 billion, up 17.5% from last year, according to the National Retail Federation. According to the survey, 70% of Americans – some 71.5% – will celebrate this year, up from 68.6% last year, and the most in the survey’s 10-year history. The average person will fork out about $79.82 on decorations, costumes and candy, up from $72.31 last year. A bigger part of the budget this year will go to costumes. Although the average person will spend about $28.65 on costumes, up slightly from $26.52 in 2011, retailers and costume manufacturers are saying that costumes continue to become more elaborate each year and shoppers are buying more accessories to go with their costume. Other survey highlights:
About 15.2% of consumers will be turning to their friends on Facebook for costume inspiration, while about 7.1% will search the pictures on Pinterest for ideas.
All told, families with children who plan to dress up for the holiday will spend about $1.1 billion on their children’s costumes, slightly more than last year. However, adults are expected to spend about $1.4 billion on costumes, up from $1.2 billion in 2011.
About 15.1% of consumers plan on dressing up their pets, with spending on pet costumes reaching $370 million, up from $310 million last year.
