万圣节糖果五年涨价71%：今年100颗装均价16.96美元 涨幅已明显放缓
万圣节临近，个人理财网站 FinanceBuzz 发布的年度糖果价格研究显示，今年一袋100颗装什锦万圣节糖果的平均价格为16.96美元，较2021年的9.91美元上涨71%，是同期22%全国通胀率的三倍多；平均每颗糖果约17美分。
不过涨价速度已明显放缓：今年的价格较去年的16.39美元只多了57美分，涨幅约3.5%；而此前两年分别上涨了2.45美元（2024年）与2.34美元（2025年）。该研究追踪 Walmart、Target、Kroger 与 Albertsons 四家连锁超市的正价大袋糖果，每年样本不少于25款，往年价格取自存档的超市宣传页，今年的价格取自9月的线上标价。
联邦数据的口径更大：劳工统计局（BLS）8月消费者价格指数显示，糖果与口香糖价格同比上涨8.1%。
另据全国零售联合会（NRF）9月发布的年度调查，美国消费者今年万圣节总支出预计达135亿美元，其中糖果约41亿美元；96%的庆祝者计划购买糖果，人均万圣节支出预计115.14美元。万圣节为10月31日。
Halloween Candy Up 71% in Five Years: 100-Piece Bag Averages $16.96 as Increases Slow
With Halloween approaching, personal-finance site FinanceBuzz's annual candy price study puts the average cost of a 100-piece bag of assorted Halloween candy at $16.96 this year — up 71% from $9.91 in 2021, more than triple the 22% national inflation rate over the same period. That works out to about 17 cents per piece.
The pace of increase has slowed sharply, however: this year's price is just 57 cents above last year's $16.39, a rise of about 3.5%, after increases of $2.45 in 2024 and $2.34 in 2025. The study tracks full-price bulk candy bags at four national chains — Walmart, Target, Kroger and Albertsons — sampling at least 25 bags a year, with past prices taken from archived weekly circulars and this year's from online listings in September.
Federal data cover a broader basket: the Bureau of Labor Statistics' August consumer price index showed candy and chewing gum prices up 8.1% from a year earlier.
Separately, the National Retail Federation's annual survey projects total U.S. Halloween spending of $13.5 billion this year, including about $4.1 billion on candy; 96% of celebrants plan to buy candy, and expected per-person spending is $115.14. Halloween falls on October 31.
