Top Five Tips for a Spooktacular Halloween

1. Stock Up on Favorite Candies: Ensure no trick-or-treater leaves empty-handed by giving out America's favorite candies such as REESE'S Pumpkins, Snickers® Ghoulish Green Bars, Kit Kat® Counts, M&M's, and Twix Ghoulish Green Bars.

2. Know the Latest Trends: This year’s candy trends shows that kids love chewy and sour sweets! Gobble up some Nerds Spooky Gummy Clusters, Sour Patch Kids Monster Heads, Skittles Shriekers, Twizzlers Ghosts, and Peelerz Gummy Mummy candy. Don't miss out on unique offerings like Kroger Candy Franken Corn—exclusive and delicious!

3. Master Pizza Night: With many families opting for pizza on Halloween, avoid the long waits and hefty delivery fees. Kroger offers a fantastic deal on their Rising Crust pizzas for just $3.49 when you use their 5X digital coupon. These are perfect for satisfying a crowd after a night of trick-or-treating.

4. Offer Healthy Alternatives: Not every treat has to be candy! Consider adding fresh fruits like apples and bananas to the mix or savory snacks such as small bags of chips to provide variety for kids' loot bags.

5. Avoid Candy Shortages: To prevent running out of candy, Kroger recommends planning based on neighborhood size. Expect to give out 1-3 pieces of fun-size candy per child, which could mean up to 300 pieces in medium-sized neighborhoods. Don't forget to take advantage of Kroger's special offer of 33% off candy from October 15-21.
