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!

Albertsons – Wonka Mix Up bags 200 count/53.3 ounces are on sale for $7.99 through Oct. 25. Use $1.40/1 Nestle or Wonka Halloween Candy, $1/2 Wonka Halloween Candy Fun Size, $1/2 Wonka Halloween Candy, or $1/2 Wonka Fun Size Halloween Candy 10/16/2011 RP Insert (exp 10/31/2011) to pay as low as $6.59 per bag. Thanks, A Thrifty Mom!
