Prime Day is delivering a wave of Halloween savings that families across the country can use to prepare for the holiday without breaking the budget. While Amazon’s 48‑hour event draws the most attention, clearance sections at major retailers are offering standout deals on décor, costumes and candy.
Decorations that won’t haunt the wallet
Walmart is leading the charge on décor, featuring a ghost‑shaped pillow for just $6, a steep cut from its $20 regular price. An inflatable pumpkin‑lined arch, normally $131, is now listed at $50, providing a 10‑foot centerpiece for front‑yard displays. Anthropologie’s entire Halloween collection is also on sale, with an extra 50 % off final prices. Juice glasses are $6.50 and the popular Capri Blue candle is $15.40, both well below their typical costs.
Costumes for adults and kids at budget‑friendly prices
Target’s recent Target Circle Days have lowered adult costume prices to as low as $14. A Diet Coke sandwich‑board costume is available for that price, and a Weinermobile costume is discounted to $42.69 for Circle members. For children, Pottery Barn Kids is offering up to $55 off select outfits, with baby kangaroo and toddler black‑cat costumes under $45. Amazon’s own costume lineup includes a skeleton onesie for $55 (31 % off), an Elmo costume for $20 (41 % off) and an Energizer bunny outfit for $60 (33 % off).
Candy deals that keep the trick‑or‑treaters happy
Bulk candy is also seeing steep cuts. A 20‑ounce bag of Skittles and Starburst is $8, and a pumpkin filled with 110 Reese’s pieces is $28. These prices make it easy for parents to fill treat bags without overspending.
Additional savings from specialty retailers
Rifle Paper Co. is discounting its Halloween décor line by 25 %, with fleece blankets under $47 and a serving platter for $18. Hanna Andersson’s Halloween‑themed pajamas are $20, a $32 reduction from the standard price. QVC offers festive tea towels for $14 (53 % off) and a three‑tiered pumpkin mug for $13 (35 % off).
How to make the most of the deals
Shoppers should act quickly, as many of these offers are tied to Prime Day’s limited‑time window. Checking retailer websites for clearance sections and using membership benefits such as Target Circle can unlock the deepest discounts. By planning purchases early, families can secure the items they need for Halloween celebrations while keeping expenses in line with traditional household budgeting values.
These Prime Day promotions demonstrate that even during a major sales event, retailers are willing to provide affordable options for holiday preparations, supporting families who want to celebrate safely and economically.
