last minute shoppers and those getting ready for next year can score some of the best deals on Halloween items this week.

Halloween is finally here. This week is the best week to get shopping for next year's big  celebration. Everything Halloween related at just about every store will drop at least 30 percent, if not 50 percent by tomorrow morning. Deals on costumes, candy, pictures and decor will all be available at lowered prices.

Pier One Imports has already marked all of their Halloween down 50 percent.

has a really good selection left as of Monday morning. They do have some empty shelves in the Halloween section but they are consolidating and keeping it much more clean and organized than in recent years. There was a huge crew of workers in the section today getting the Christmas decor hung and on shelves.  Target will go 50 percent off on Tuesday and drop to 75 percent off of all Halloween three days after the holiday. Think beyond just costumes and candy. Decorations, holiday cereals and even decoration paper towels are included in this markdown. They might now tall be in the Halloween section so keep your eyes open as you go through the store this week.
