Halloween is almost here! By now, you've probably decorated your front porch, finished up your family's costumes (but if you haven't, there are plenty of last-minute ideas for you!), and carved a pumpkin or two. If the only thing left on your spooky season checklist is snagging candy for trick-or-treaters, it's time that we let you in on a little secret: the cheapest and easiest way to score bulk candy is by ordering it online from Walmart.
If you're a fan of The Pioneer Woman, you probably place a few Walmart orders a month. As you add everything from household staples to fall fashion to your online cart this week, don't forget to include a few bags of bulk candy to ensure you're prepped and ready for the big day. After all, if you live in a neighborhood frequented by tons of trick-or-treaters, buying candy can become costly, so we set out to find the most cost-effective sweets per piece.
We found plenty of bulk options to shop online, with prices on classic Hershey's chocolate bars and fruity favorites like Sour Patch Kids and Airheads starting at just $6. We even scoped out a great deal on full-size packs of Skittles and Starburst, in case you're hoping to be crowned the house with the best candy on the block this Halloween.
If you stock up now, you won't have to brave the crowds on Halloween Eve. Not to mention, by skipping that extra trip to the store, you'll have more time to indulge in seasonal activities like a scary movie marathon or a Halloween DIY session. And while you're at it, it's worth grabbing an extra bag or two to keep on hand for impromptu Halloween parties or the occasional candy craving.
Below are some of the best bulk candy deals to shop ahead of Halloween 2024. Now all you need to worry about is grabbing an adorable candy dish to hold all of these sweets!
