Only 46 per cent of Quebecers plan to give out candy this Halloween, less than any other province.
It's been six years since Halloween has fallen on a Saturday, and according to a new survey from digital offers site RetailMeNot.ca, 64 per cent of Canadians are planning to hand out candy this year, compared to only 50 per cent in 2014.
Candy isn't just for the kids, though. Half the country (51 per cent) plans to buy candy for themselves, and 72 per cent are looking to buy more candy than they need so they can chow down on leftovers. 73 per cent of parents admit they have taken candy from a child...
Canadians expect to spend an average of $169 on Halloween.
About the survey:
From October 5 to October 7, 2015, an online survey was conducted among 3,024 randomly selected Canadian adults who are Angus Reid Forum panelists. The margin of error, which measures sampling variability, is +/- 1.8%, 19 times out of 20. The results have been statistically weighted according to education, age, gender and region (and in Quebec, language) Census data to ensure a sample representative of the entire adult population of Canada. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding.
