The Spookiest Halloween Costume Ideas of 2026
This Halloween, the spookiest costumes are the most relatable ones. The real fear these days
doesn't come from ghosts or goblins — it comes when the credit card bill hits.
The national average for a gallon of regular gas is sitting at $4.14 right now — up nearly 25% from a year ago. The average American driver is spending about $139 a month just to fill up, and that's before accounting for March 2026, when gas jumped $1 a gallon in a single month — the sharpest spike in decades — following the start of the conflict with Iran. The grocery bill is hitting just as hard. The average family of four spends $1,013.20 per month on groceries.That's more than $12,000 per year.
