America’s two biggest bulk retailers,CostcoandSam’s Club, are here to help.
But which warehouse club has the best deals when it comes to Halloween candy?
On a recent Saturday in October, I went to scope out the selection at both stores.

This big 92-ounce bag costs $15.99 at the warehouse (regularly $21.99 online).
While it’s more expensive, this bag had better candy and the bag was way cuter.
At $19.99 in storeor, $22.99 onlineit’s a great buy for chocolate lovers.

(The online price may be even less, depending on your location.)
Over at Sam’s Club, grab a bag ofHershey’s Factory Favorites fun-sized barsfor $19.98.
Not everyone loves nuts in candy, so the Costco buy is risky.

Go with the Sam’s Club bag, which includes Hershey’s Cookies and Cream, a kid favorite.
You’ll find it for $20.79 in-store at Costco, but where is the Halloween theming?
It sells for $20.99.

It contains Kit Kat Witch’s Brew (it’s green!)
and Hershey’s Cookies and Cream Fangs (so fun!)
all for the low price of $18.98.

Sorry, Costco, but this is going right in the trash.
store your $9.99 because no kid wants this!
Instead, grab this monster-themed bag ofmini-size bars from Ferrero.

These individual treats come in three flavors: Ghostly Green Apple, Ghoulish Grape and Oozing Orange.
Over two pounds of candy for $7.98 is certainly a great deal.
At Sam’s Club, a bag ofReese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkinsis on offer for $11.98.

Both of these are great seasonal treats!
You’ll get 54 bags for $19.99 at the warehouse.
This packaging is adorable and most kids will welcome this in their treat bags.

No kid wants this.
But for $9.99, why not pick up a bag but save it for your grown-up Halloween party?
Costco’s giant tub of individual pouches (70 count) cost $6.79.
