Halloween

Traditionally known as the day of the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, today Halloween is a holiday, characterised by trick-or-treating, attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, watching horror films and - shopping!

Halloween marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Statistically speaking, Halloween is the second most money spent holiday next to Christmas. What does that mean for you? Major sales! Retailers line up the best of the best deals for the days leading up to Halloween, have great deals on Halloween itself and offer continuing sales for a couple of days after Halloween.

• As the age-old adage goes, “the early bird catches the worm”. Start planning early - troll the news and the web for lists of retailers offering Halloween deals. Bookmark those retailer’s websites, download their apps and create wishlists.
• Follow your favourite retailers on their social media. This tip pays off year-round, but it’ll especially come in hand during Halloween when retailers ramp up promotional activity and offer last-minute deals. You want to make sure you’re first to see all the deals!
• Budget! It’s tempting to shop every offer your eye lands on, but do you really need another pair of jeans? Plan a budget and stick to it as best as you can.
• Price check before you buy - sometimes Halloween deals aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. To judge how good the deals really are once it’s crunch time, you’ll need to track prices leading up to Halloween.
• Use online price comparison tools to make sure you’re really getting the lowest price out there. The item you want could be even cheaper elsewhere!
• Sign up to your favourite brand’s mailing list. They’ll send all their offers straight to you! That way you don’t have to go searching.
• Be aware of store policies, for example - many stores don’t accept returns on major sale items.

You’re ready for some scare-riffic shopping!

Should you choose to shop Halloween deals from the comfort of your home online, here are some tips and tricks to make sure you shop safely, securely and smartly:

• Shop with trusted online retailers or do thorough research before making purchases from unknown retailer sites.
• Never provide your credit card information if you do not see the ‘padlock’ on the upper left-hand side of your address bar, or if the address begins with “http://” instead of “https://”.

• Keep your information private. If the retailer asks for too much information such as your birth-date and social security numbers, do not complete the transaction.
• After shopping Halloween deals, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on all your banking statements, checking them weekly rather than by the month, just in case something slipped to a hacker. Notify your cardholder service if there are any discrepancies immediately.
• Maintain good virus protection on your computer to prevent spyware and other hacks from accessing your information. Many trusted anti-virus services are available online for free so you can take advantage of convenient online shopping.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi to do your shopping, rather use secure connections.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails and pop-up internet adverts with too-good-to-be-true offers. Use caution when a deal is drastically better than others and always double-check before clicking on ads.

Are Halloween deals only available in-store?

No, many of the same discounts and deals are also widely available online.

In fact, some Halloween deals may be exclusive to online shopping!

Can I shop Halloween deals from international stores?

Yes! As long as the retailer delivers to your region, you can take advantage of Halloween deals and shop from any store in the world.

Can I return items bought during Halloween?

You might be able to, that’s at the discretion of the retailer themselves and depends on their Halloween returns/refunds policy.

Make sure to read up on returns policies before completing your purchase.

Can I use a coupon code on my Halloween order?

Whilst you can usually use the many coupon codes you find here on LoveCoupons.ca for regular purchases, Halloween deals might work a little different. Because products are already significantly discounted, retailers may not accept the use of coupon/discount codes on top of that.

The use of coupon codes on Halloween offers is at the discretion of the retailer. Some might actually accept it, others may not - either way, it doesn’t hurt to try your luck!

What stores offer Halloween deals?

Just about any store you can think of will most likely participate in Halloween deals.

How long do Halloween deals run?

Halloween sales can start anywhere from 1 Oct 2021 all the way into Halloween itself (31 Oct 2021).

Some retailers may even extend their sales past Halloween!
