Budgeting Concerns Lead to Rising Prices for Holiday Costumes

Fri, September 19, 2025 at 3:35 PM UTC As budgeting concerns dominate this year’s market, customers can expect to see higher prices for costumes and other holiday items. A representative noted, “We are trying to eat part of it. And I think some of the vendors are trying to eat part of it, but ultimately the customer is going to pay a little bit more this year.” For example, a costume that typically retailed for $29.95 is now projected to rise to around $34.95. This increase reflects the broader economic landscape, which has been affecting prices across various sectors.
