The Average American spent $56.31 on Halloween this year... Did you get value for your money? was it worth it?

According to this article by the BBC the Average American spent $56.31 on Halloween this year (probably!) down from $66.45 last year.

All things considered, was it money well spent? Did you get $56.31 worth of enjoyment out of it?

My wife and I had a great weekend. There was a party for family on Saturday and a party for Friends Sunday a great time was had by all. The funny thing was more people were in costume Sunday ^_^

This is what we spent:

Son 1 (6 Year old) - Dressed as a Clone Trooper 25.00
Son 2 (11 Months) - Dressed as a Hershey Kiss 25.00

Couple of halloween parties with the kids.

Was it worth it. Yes. The memories will last me a lifetime.

Actually, I didn't spend anything on Halloween. My costume pieces were all from my wardrobe (I was a spy, so I just got a trenchcoat, glasses, pants, boots, and stuff that could look like gadgetry for my belt.) And for Halloween candy/refreshments, I just went to parties and mooched off people. I was invited, so it wasn't like I didn't have permission.

It wasn't the best Halloween, though, because I had to do work for one of my classes. Hard work, too -- running around, cobbling information together, not-quite-finished yet work for a large project. So although I didn't spend any money, maybe if I had, and done something more exciting, it would have been more memorable.

I did not spend any money on Halloween this year, and I am completely fine with that. Halloween is not one of my favorite holidays - dressing up always stresses me out because I feel like my costumes are never creative enough - and I am no longer young enough to trick or treat.

My boyfriend and I ordered in Chinese and watched TV all night, and it was one of my better holidays. I am glad not to have spent the money on Halloween so I can put it towards the holiday I love most of all: Christmas!
