Samās Club is offering more than just mixed bags of snack-size candy. They brought back the multipacks of Samās Club Halloween-themed lollipops again and big tubs of chocolate. You can order these online for shipping or grab them at the warehouse on your next Samās Club trip.
Let me show you what to buy and what to skip in the Samās Club candy aisles this Halloween season.

The best Samās Club Halloween candy deals are the assorted bags ā youāll pay as low as $0.11 per piece.
I popped into Samās Club on July 17 and found that they already had Halloween candy in stock. And select packs are available for pickup.
While these packages are specifically Halloween-themed, you can find bulk candy deals at Samās Club year-round. And you could technically use those for Halloween candy, too (as long as you check their expiration dates).

Samās Club has huge containers of bulk chocolates for as low as $0.15 per piece.
If youāre looking for bulk buys of candy, Samās Club has some killer deals right now. Theyāre offering big containers of Reeseās, Snickers, and M&Mās with over 300 pieces of candy, which means youāre paying as little as $0.15 per piece.

Their Hersheyās Fund Raising Kits come with 52 full-size candy bars ā making each bar just $0.77.
Handing out full-size candy bars on Halloween is a bit of a power move, but if youāre game, I found an unbeatable deal at Samās Club. These 52-piece kits are normally $47.98 ($0.92 per bar), but theyāre on sale right now for just $39.98 ($0.77 per bar). Youād pay around $0.94 per bar if you bought them on Amazon.
ĀGrab the Samās Club Halloween lollipops for trick-or-treaters or the classroom ($0.50 per piece).
Have you seen the 24-pack of Samās Club Halloween lollipops yet? If youāre looking for classroom Halloween treats or want to add a little pizzazz to your trick-or-treat offerings, getting a 24-pack for $11.98 ($0.50 each) is a good deal in my book.
In the 24-pack, youāll get 12 individually wrapped jelly lollipops and 12 individually wrapped swirl lollipops. The swirl pops include grape, lemon, orange, and tutti-frutti flavors. Then there are the jelly lollipops shaped like a jack-oā-lantern, candy corn, a friendly ghost, and a cat in flavors like strawberry, orange, cherry, and tutti-frutti.
You could use the 24-pack Halloween Jelly and Swirl Pops for trick-or-treating, costume parties, school celebrations, team practices, party favors, office treats, or any gathering leading up to Halloween. Theyāre especially perfect for classroom Halloween treats.
But some candy will be cheaper at Target and Walmart (as low as $0.07 ā $0.10 per piece).
When it comes to hunting down the most value-packed Halloween candy deals, Samās Club might not always be the clear winner, especially as we get closer to Halloween. Youāll need to calculate the price per piece to be able to compare the candy deals across stores, since the quantity in each bag will differ.
For example, at Target, youāll soon be able to find a 160-count mixed bag of Kit Kat or Reeseās for $15.99, making each piece only $0.10. And last year at Walmart, we saw a massive 330-piece bag of Halloween candy go for $23.99, or $0.07 per piece. Compare this to paying $0.11 per piece for an assorted bag of candy at Samās Club.
Target and Walmart often have sales on Halloween candy at the end of September and early October, too, which can drop the price per piece even lower. In 2022, Target offered 3 for $10 sale on a huge variety of candy. With inflation, we may see a similar sale at Target this year, but more along the lines of 3 for $12.
The moral of the story? If youāre stocking up on Halloween candy, always check first for any Target deals and Walmart sales to make sure youāre not overpaying.
TIP: In addition to shopping during sales, look for bulk candy not packaged as āHalloweenā and you make save even more.

Samās Club doesnāt take coupons because their āInstant Savingsā get automatically applied at checkout. Some Instant Savings offers are exclusive to Scan and Go, so be sure to check the signs for that.
If products are still available in your store a week before Halloween, you might find candy on clearance. Last year, we found pumpkin Reeseās for 50% off in the days before Halloween.
