Frugalista Friday: Halloween Candy Deals

Fall is here! Moms everywhere are busy planning and preparing for pumpkin patch trips, trunk or treats, family photos, fall festivals, family get-togethers, and Halloween!  If you live in a busy neighborhood and/or have a lot of events going on this time of year, it’s really easy to spend more on the Halloween candy and other treats than you do on your entire family’s costumes!  We’re here to help!  Here are some of the best Halloween ideas and deals I was able to find that can be bought either locally in the Atlanta area or online.

Side note: If you’re going to Publix between now and Sunday, be sure to check out the BOGO sales.  Everything that is on BOGO sale is a great price.  If you spend at least $50 on groceries, be sure to use the in-ad coupon to get $10 off a $50 gas giftcard.  This is the best fuel discount deal anywhere!

 

 

Allergy Friendly/Health Conscious Fun Candy Alternatives

Amazon offers a 100 count package of glow sticks for only $10, and a 50 count package of stamps for only $8.25 (or a 100 count package for $14.79).  We all know how much kids love glow sticks and stamps!
