The average Canadian who celebrates Halloween will spend roughly $70 on costumes, parties and candy this year, according to a new Scotiabank survey. B.C. residents are spending the most ($82) compared to Atlantic Canadians ($51). While that numbers may not seem high, it’s safe to say that families with more than one child are likely spending more. The bank also found that just 15% of Canadians save in advance for Halloween expenses.
