Last updated: October 14, 2026

Halloween 2026 is on Saturday, October 31, which means stores are already cutting prices on decor, inflatables, costumes and smart lights. Right now, the best Halloween sales are Target (up to 50% off costumes and inflatables, until October 17), Lowe's (Halloween decor up to 30% off while supplies last) and Govee smart lights on Amazon (up to 30% off, ending October 25 to 31). This page lists each deal with its end date, so you can see what is worth buying now and what is better to wait for.

Halloween Sales Right Now (Quick List)

Halloween Decor and Inflatables

1. Target: Up to 50% Off Costumes and Inflatables Confirmed

Target has a sale on Halloween costumes and inflatable decorations with up to 50% off, valid through October 17, 2026. Free shipping starts at $35 on most items. One example is the Gemmy Bluey and Family Scene inflatable, now $130 (was $241). The sale also includes licensed kids' costumes and inflatables such as Stitch, Sesame Street and PAW Patrol.

2. Lowe's: Halloween Decor Clearance Confirmed

Lowe's has Halloween decorations up to 30% off while supplies last. Some listed examples: Bluey 3-ft lighted witch inflatable at $24.49 (was $34.98), Haunted Living lighted tombstone at $17.99 (was $29.98), 100-count purple LED spiderweb lights at $27.99 (was $39.98) and Disney 8-inch lighted jack-o'-lantern at $14.99 (was $24.98). Some prices include free shipping for My Lowe's Rewards members, which is free to join. Prices and stock can vary by location.

3. Home Depot: Late-Season Halloween Sale Expected

A third-party sales calendar lists a Home Depot Halloween sale from October 22 to 31, with up to 75% off indoor and outdoor decor. Home Depot has not confirmed this in the source we checked, so treat it as a possible sale, not a promise. Check the Home Depot website around October 22.

4. IKEA: Up to 20% Off Halloween Decor Check store

IKEA was listed with up to 20% off Halloween decor in early October. We did not find an end date or specific items, so check the IKEA website to see what is still available in your country.

Smart Lighting and Home Tech Deals

Color-changing smart lights are an easy way to decorate for Halloween without buying a lot of props. Govee has several deals on Amazon with end dates in the next few weeks.

Tip: set smart bulbs or light bars to purple, orange or green for a Halloween look, and switch them back to white after October 31. Prices were listed in the source as of October 13, so check the Amazon listing before you buy.

Halloween Costume Deals

Target's sale (up to 50% off, until October 17) includes licensed kids' costumes. Kids' costumes in popular sizes sell out early, so buy them first. For adult costumes, compare Target, Amazon and Walmart on the same day, because prices change often. Spirit Halloween usually has its biggest markdowns in the last few days before October 31, but the selection is smaller by then. That is a past pattern, not a confirmed 2026 sale.

Big Sales That Already Ended (and What They Tell You)

These October events are over, but the prices are useful benchmarks if you are planning to buy electronics before Black Friday:

• Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: ran on October 6 and 7, 2026.
• Walmart Deals: ran through October 11.
• Best Buy Techtober: ran until around October 11.

Example prices from those sales: Apple AirPods 4 at $79 at Walmart (was $129.99), AirPods Pro 3 at $199 at Best Buy (was $249), a TCL QM6K 55-inch 4K TV at $499.99 at Best Buy (was $799.99) and a MacBook Air 13-inch (M5) at $1,099 at Best Buy (was $1,299). If you see these prices or lower in November, it is a good deal.

Next big dates: Black Friday is on November 27, 2026 and Cyber Monday is on November 30. Walmart, Target and Best Buy have not announced early November sales yet, but they usually start in the first half of November.

When Does Halloween Clearance Start?

Stores have not announced exact 2026 clearance dates. These are patterns from past years, not confirmed dates:

Buy Now or Wait?

• Buy now: popular inflatables, licensed kids' costumes, and anything you need for the weekend of October 24 and 25.
• Wait: generic decor, lights and props you can use next year. Prices are usually lowest in the last week of October and after Halloween.
• Compare the final price: add shipping and tax, and check if the "was" price is real by looking at the price history or other stores.
• Use rewards and free shipping: My Lowe's Rewards and Target's $35 free shipping threshold can lower your total.
• Avoid fake sale sites. Buy from the store's official website or app, and be careful with deals that look too good to be true.
