Yes, the prices of pretty much everything are up right now due to inflation…and apparently, that includes Halloween candy, as well.
Doh!
And a woman named Cam posted a video on TikTok and talked to viewers about the high prices of Halloween candy at her local Meijer store in Illinois.
Cam said, “I h**e to break it to the children but Halloween is not happening until the economy is ******* fixed.”
She then added, “What do you mean, $30.99 is a low price? For a ******* bag of candy!”
Cam said that Halloween candy at Walmart is cheaper at $22.99 but pointed out that it was only $15.99 last year.
She said, “That is so crazy. I just can’t believe Meijer had the audacity for this. I’m sorry, kids, like y’all are gonna be getting floss and number two pencils this year. I don’t know what to tell you. I’m so stressed out!”
Take a look at her video.

Cam posted a follow-up video where she addressed a comment on her original video.
Check out what she had to say…and let’s hope that Halloween isn’t ruined this year, because that would be a major bummer.

Now check out what people had to say about this.
One viewer sounds like they’re a little bit shady…
Another person said there’s no consistency or logic to prices anymore.
And this TikTokker said they know for a fact that candy manufacturers are raising prices.
That’s it! Halloween is cancelled!
