Halloween spending is expected to reach $9 billion, according to the Nation Retail Federation's annual survey conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics. The total is the second-highest in the survey's 14-year history and is relatively the same as last year's record of $9.1 billion.
Those who are celebrating are planning to spend an average of $86.79, up from last year's $86.13, with more than 175 million Americans planning to partake in Halloween festivities this year.
Greeting trick-or-treaters is the No. 1 way participants will celebrate Halloween, as 70 percent plan to hand out candy. In addition, 45 percent will carve a pumpkin and 30 percent will take their children trick-or-treating.
