Halloween Alternatives @ The Dollar Store


Are you looking to pass out something other than candy this Halloween? Check your local dollar store for these goodies as an alternative to Candy this Halloween Season:


  • Halloween Pencils ~ I found 12 packs of Halloween themed pencils.
  • Halloween Erasers ~ look for themed multi packs of erasers.
  • Halloween party toy packs ~ I found packs of 30 small Halloween toys that included spider rings, small skeletons etc.
  • Packs of Vampire Teeth ~ always fun!
  • Bouncy balls ~ some parents hate them but all kids love them ;)
  • Googly Bands/Silly Bands ~ Pass these out to trick or treaters, they are sure to be a hit!
  • Tattoos/Stickers ~ Find packs of stickers or tattoos and cut them into single stickers to pass out.
  • Look in the party section~ party favors make a great treat for little ones.
  • Coloring pages with crayons ~ have you seen the coloring pages handed out at restaurants that have the crayons folded in? Purchase a few coloring books or print pictures and buy packs of crayons and do this yourself!
  • Toothbrushes ~ Sure it's not terribly appealing to kids but you can find large multi packs of toothbrushes.
Check with your local dentist ~ some will provide you with their "logoed" merchandise such as a toothbrush or toothpaste.

Some businesses also will provide coupons such as local pizza shops or bowling alleys. Have a Brunswick in your area, print these coupons for free games!

Looking to do something with all that candy your child acquired on Halloween? Search for a local "buy back" event. Also, consider donating them overseas to the troops!
