Best States in the U.S. for Trick or Treating Fun!

Halloween is just around the corner, which means soon all the kiddies will be getting excited to dress up, get out there and haul in a big stash of candy. Now, there’s no doubt some areas of the country provide better Halloween experiences, and a new report seeks to determine the best states for your trick or treating fun, well, at least when it comes to candy.

According to a report by the shopping app, ibotta, the average American spends about $16.45 per person on candy for Halloween, and the best time to buy your candy is October 27th, when it’ll cost you about $1.94 per unit. Not surprising, the longer you wait, the worse things get with October 30th being the absolute worst day to buy candy, with folks likely to shell out about $2.75 per unit of candy. 

Overall, kids living in the Pacific Northwest will likely get the biggest haul of candy, based on the average candy purchases per person. In fact, kids in Oregon have it the absolute best, with Oregonians spending $40.29 per person on candy, which is more than any other state, with Washington following close behind.
