Remember when we used to make our own Halloween costumes and then made our kids’? And when little ghosts and goblins came to our door, they carried old pillowcases they hoped to fill with loot instead of orange bags or plastic pumpkins? If you do, you are definitely out of touch with Halloween today. Nowadays little girls want store-bought Disney princess costumes and little boys want to be superheroes. Halloween has turned into a $6 billion spending spree per year in the U.S., and $1.5 billion in Canada. Since the U.S. has almost 10 times the population of Canada, does that mean that we actually spend more per capita? Interesting.
