Costumes consume the biggest part of the United States' Halloween dollars ($28.65 per person), followed closely by candy and decorations.
What an Average American Will Spend on Halloween in 2012
• Halloween Costumes: $28.65
• Halloween Candy: $23.27
• Decorations: $23.56
• Greeting Cards: $4.34
When it comes to costumes, the NRF survey found that about 45 percent of Americans will be dressing up—a bump of 2 percent from 2011. This year about one-third of all costumed celebrants will find inspiration for their alter egos online, trolling for ideas on Facebook (15.2 percent) and Pinterest (7.1 percent).
