October isn’t just about scary monsters, haunted houses and candy everywhere. It’s also about enjoying lots of sweet deals and discounts for trick-or-treaters of all ages.

And, for frugal families, it’s always a big treat whenever they can save money — especially because the winter holidays are just around the corner.

There’s nothing scary during the Halloween month for bargain hunters, just lots of restaurant specials and monster savings at various businesses.

Don’t forget to search your favorite “local haunts” for more deals, giveaways and discounts.

The following deals are available at participating locations, while supplies last.
