Halloween is approaching

and with that Americans start preparing their costumes and buying decorations for the season. Oh…..and don’t forget the candy.

The folks over at Statisticbrain.com has projected 2015 spending, but for purposes of this blog I’ve calculated 2009 to 2014. In 2009 Americans spent $5.6 Billion for Halloween. In 2014, they shelled out $7.1 Billion. That is a 27% jump.
