Halloween is almost here, and whether you’re looking for the perfect costume, unique décor, or treats for the whole neighborhood, getting a great deal is part of the fun. We've hunted down the top 13 stores with fantastic Halloween sales this year, covering everything from major retail chains to specialty shops. So get ready to stock up on the best Halloween buys, and don’t be afraid to grab these deals before they disappear into the night!

1: Target

Known for its seasonal promotions, Target doesn’t disappoint when it comes to Halloween. With deals on costumes for all ages, candy in bulk, and chic Halloween décor, Target is a one-stop shop. Their sales often include classic costumes like witches and vampires, trending characters, and themed décor like light-up pumpkins and eerie wreaths. Weekly deals highlight items like fog machines, trick-or-treat bags, and Halloween baking kits, especially in the Halloween Hub.

2: Walmart

Walmart’s Halloween sales cover everything from costumes to decorations and candy, making it a top choice for families on a budget. Costumes for popular characters like superheroes and Disney princesses often get marked down, along with inflatable yard decorations, spooky string lights, and motion-activated props. The bulk candy options and Halloween-themed baking items make it easy to prep for parties or trick-or-treaters, and Walmart’s early markdowns on these items help shoppers stock up affordably.

3: Spirit Halloween

My family loves taking an annual trip—or five—to Spirit Halloween. The ultimate Halloween headquarters, Spirit Halloween offers deals on everything from high-quality costumes to animatronic monsters and wall décor. Their costumes include classic monsters and exclusive licensed characters, often with buy-one-get-one or bundle deals. Spirit also has a range of unique indoor and outdoor decorations, like talking skeletons, fog machines, and light projectors, making it ideal for haunted house setups. Frequent sales of costume accessories like makeup, wigs, and weapons make Spirit a must-stop. I recommend stopping by on November 1 for crazy deals on costumes and decorations for next year!

4: Home Depot

Home Depot has become a surprising favorite for Halloween fans, especially those looking for unique yard décor. Also known for its selection of towering animatronics and Halloween inflatables, Home Depot has everything from 12-foot skeletons and moving grim reapers to pumpkin stacks and ghostly figures. They also offer deals on LED lighting, tombstone props, and creepy silhouettes that make any yard look hauntingly festive. Seasonal markdowns on these items often happen throughout October, making it easy to get standout pieces for less.

5: Amazon

Amazon is an obvious choice for Halloween shopping, with sales on popular costumes, Halloween candy, and décor for indoor and outdoor setups. Lightning deals and daily discounts cover costumes, from beloved characters to unique, hard-to-find looks.

Whether going all out for spooky season or looking for a few minimalist Halloween decorations, you can find all of the above on Amazon. You can find an extensive selection of décor, like black lace tablecloths, faux spider webs, string lights, and deals on bulk candy and party favors. I even found a felt coffin letterboard! And, of course, Prime members benefit from early access to sales and fast shipping, making Amazon convenient for last-minute purchases.

6: Etsy

For those who love unique, handmade Halloween finds, Etsy is full of discounts on custom costumes, artisanal decorations, and one-of-a-kind spooky home accents. Their Halloween sales often feature handcrafted wreaths, personalized trick-or-treat bags, themed candles, and gothic art prints. Many sellers offer seasonal discounts or bundles on items like skeleton jewelry, custom costume accessories, and home décor with a vintage or mystical flair, so creating a unique Halloween setup is easy.

7: Party City

Halloween isn’t complete without a visit to Party City, where deals on party supplies and decorations make hosting easy and affordable. They offer costume bundles, accessories, and a vast selection of party décor, including table settings, banners, and themed balloons. Bulk candy packs and glow-in-the-dark decorations are a hit, and Party City’s frequent BOGO offers make it simple to grab everything from trick-or-treat essentials to complete Halloween party setups.

8: Michael's

Michael’s is the place to go for DIY Halloween projects, which I also wrote about here! Their Halloween-themed garlands, wreaths, and decorative pieces help you create custom looks, and they often discount floral arrangements, spooky candleholders, and skeleton figurines. They also have themed collections, like Hippie Hallow and Hocus Pocus.

For crafters, Michael’s also has kits for Halloween paint-by-numbers, ceramic crafts, and diamond art, with seasonal coupons offering even more savings on bulk crafting supplies.

9: Joann Fabric and Craft Stores

Joann Fabric and Craft Stores are a favorite for Halloween enthusiasts who enjoy making their own costumes and decorations. Joann's Halloween sales (up to 70% off!) can help you save on Halloween-themed fabrics, from spider-webbed patterns to bright pumpkins, and they also offer discounts on ribbons, trims, and foam props. Joann’s pre-made Halloween décor, like burlap pumpkins and spooky lanterns, plus crafting essentials like hot glue guns, help bring DIY ideas to life affordably.

If you can't already tell, I'm a sucker for the cute little ghost decorations. From the paint-by-number above to this pretty little tea towel from Joann's, I think these decorations are just the right ratio of cute:spooky for me.

10: Bath & Body Works

Bath & Body Works brings Halloween scents to life with seasonal promotions on Halloween-themed candles, soaps, and lotions. Fan-favorite spooky scents tend to come back around each year. Limited-edition candles with skull designs, eerie labels, and pumpkin and apple-scented products often sell out quickly, so checking in on seasonal sales is essential. Their bundles and exclusive deals make stocking up on these fragrant items easy.

11: Old Navy

Old Navy is perfect for family-friendly Halloween looks, with deals on themed pajamas, graphic tees, and kids’ costumes. They offer cozy options that include glow-in-the-dark graphics, festive socks, and hoodies. Old Navy also provides promotions on matching sets for family photos and often discounts their Halloween and fall-themed baby clothing. Their affordability and festive clothing selection make Old Navy a top choice for comfortable, on-theme looks.

Flannel for fall festivals, matching Halloween pajamas, themed graphic tees, and adorable fall looks for the whole family + the best sales = cute outfits for everyone all spooky season long!

12: Macy’s

Macy’s Halloween sale includes discounts across multiple departments, with markdowns on costumes, home accents, and themed apparel. They frequently discount items like festive kitchen towels, Halloween throw blankets, and pumpkin-shaped candle holders. Macy’s flash sales often cover everything from kids’ costumes to themed dinnerware, making it a good choice for decorating indoors or outdoors on a budget.

13: Hot Topic

Hot Topic’s Halloween sales cater to pop culture fans with unique costumes, accessories, and gothic-inspired décor. Their discounts include costumes and accessories for popular movie and anime characters, plus themed jewelry, makeup, and even scented candles. Special discounts on gothic and alternative clothing and accessories make finding a standout Halloween look easy. Hot Topic’s frequently updated stock of horror-themed merchandise appeals to anyone with a darker Halloween style.
