I headed to Rite Aid yesterday to buy cold medicine. I’m fighting a bug that my sister brought home from school. While there, I wandered over to the candy aisle and found some sweet candy deals!
Here’s a list of some of the candy that’s on sale with your wellness+ card:

Reader Tiffany made an excellent point:
Thanks for the links for the costumes but what I really needed that you supplied were the deals on the candy! We seem to spend a lot more on candy then we do on anything else doing Halloween.
I’ve been sharing a lot of costume coupons, but hardly any for candy. Here is a start – more deals coming early next week! If you are looking for Halloween costume coupons, here ya go!

When I was a little girl, Halloween was a simple and cheap affair. We’d make costumes out of stuff we had at home, grab a pillow case, and walk up and down our block. Everyone who opened the door knew who we were, and we knew them. We returned home with warm homemade cookies, fruit, and my very favorite, a little envelope with 10 shiny pennies from the man who worked at the local bank. That, my friends, is what Halloween is supposed to be.
Unfortunately, Halloween has gone the way of all holidays: a commercialized spending spree. The average person will spend $72.31 on costumes, candy and decorations, adding up to a total holiday splurge of $6.9 billion, according to the National Retail Federation.

Where are you shopping for Easter candy and decorations? The 99 Cents Only Store and other dollar stores have plenty of Easter goodies. I like shopping the dollar stores for disposable items that aren’t going to last long. Why pay more?
Here are Easter items you can pick up at 99 Cents Only.
- Easter baskets and grass (or use shredded newspaper)
- Easter themed candy – Russell Stover candy eggs are 2 for $.99
- Fillable plastic eggs prefect for egg hunts!
- Chocolate covered marshmallow chicks (8-packs)
- Easter gift bags
My Mom liked to hide our Easter baskets around the house along with chocolate eggs and jelly beans. Hunting for my basket with only “hot” and “cold” clues could be quite a trial and sometimes took more than an hour. One year she taped my basket to the underside of our dinning room table that had a floor-length tablecloth. Another year it was buried deep in the recycling. Once I found it, underneath a chocolate bunny and other candy was a small present, like new underwear or socks. My Mom always made Easter so fun!

I loathe investing in Halloween gear because most of it gets used once a year, and is trampled, consumed, or lost before the holiday comes around again. Here is a list of Halloween costumes, candy, and decorations for sale at four dollar store chains. Selection varies by region.
99 Cents Only Halloween deals (So Cal, AZ, TX, and NV)
Pumpkins
Tootsie Rolls (more…)
TODAY ONLY FROM 4-7 p.m. get a free peach tea drink at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (not as pictured). No coupon needed, no purchase necessary. The freebie is 12-ounces. Valid only on Thursday, March 4, 2010.
Free address labels! This deal is for 140 labels through Vista Print, which charges you $3-5 for shipping. Not too bad!
