Their quantities are smaller, so might require you to stock up on a couple bags, but include spooky editions of brand favourites.
For example, you can also buy 160g packets of Haribo Monsters and Skeletons for the cheapest price in Aldi at just 99p.
Poundland is also a strong contender with all kinds of gruesome treats, such as eye balls and blood bags, selling for £1.
Keep in mind that supermarket prices can change day to day and vary between stores.

Swizzels Sweet Treat Tub - £3
7
The 600g Swizzels tub is the best deal around at only 50p per 100g in B&M.
It is currently reduced to £3 from its original price, £4.
And with the huge amount of sweets, you could be set for the whole Halloween for bargain price.
It features all the favourites - including Parma Violets, Drumsticks, Refreshers and Love Hearts.
B&M is the cheapest place to buy the tub, but you can also get it for £3.49 in Aldi, or more expensive in Iceland for £5.50.
You can also buy smaller 173g bags of Swizzels in B&m for £1 or Aldi for 99p.
Though this is 57p per 100g, meaning the 600g Sweet Treat Tub is the best bang for your buck.
Haribo Starmix Bumper Box - £5
7
This 800g box contains 50 treat size bags making it just 10p per serving.
You can buy it in Sainsbury's for £5.50, or just £5 if you have a Nectar Card.
We couldn't find this product in any other supermarket, meaning you should be quick to grab the deal from your nearest Sainsbury's.
One seller has listed it on Ebay for £11 - over double the Sainsbury's price.

Haribo Monsters and Skeletons - 99p

The cheapest place to buy spooky Haribo sharing bags is Aldi, with the 160g packets priced at just 99p.
Haribo has two spooky editions: skeletons and monsters.
You can also buy them in Iceland for £1, or £1.25 in Asda and Morrisons.
Aldi sells a range of sweets at their 99p price, including Drumsticks, Skittles and Candy Kitten dupes.
Another option on their Halloween confectionary range is the Nature's Pick candy apple, which costs just 59p, but only serves one.
Cadbury's Pumpkin Patch Cakes - £2.50
7
The Cadbury's box of 4 Pumpkin Patch Cakes is an exciting seasonal addition to shelves.
It can be bought in most supermarkets such as Asda, Sainsbury's, Iceland and Tesco for £2.50.
This means each cake costs 63p - making it a pricier option if you're looking to give them to trick-or-treaters.
But if you're a Cadbury's lover who's looking to grab them for yourself, it helps to know they're the same price across the board - unless you spot any reductions.
More Creepy Treats - £1

If you're looking for other places to bag great deals on sweets this Halloween, Poundland offers a range of options all for £1.
You can get realistic looking blood bags, jelly body parts, witches hair and creepy jelly insects.
In comparison, a giant spooky jelly spider is £3 in B&M.
And in Lidl a candy skull is £5 - which is £4 more expensive than Poundland.

However, remember that smaller bags of sweets like these may require you to buy multiple bags - in many cases it is better to bulk buy a tub of Swizells, for example, and stretch your cash further.

How to save on Halloween
CUT-OUTS WON’T KEEP: Once carved, pumpkins last just three to five days before they start to rot. So wait until a day or two before Halloween to carve yours, to ensure you won’t have to buy a replacement.
CHILLING CARVINGS: Carve your pumpkin right first time. Download free templates from Hobbycraft to help ensure no slip-ups.
DEVILISHY CHEAP DECORATIONS: Create spooky spider webs using old string or rope.
PAY LESS FOR FACE PAINTS: Cut costs by using your old eyeliners and eyeshadows, and dab on some talc when you need a ghostly white shade.
CUT-PRICE CANDY: Before you buy sweets to give out as treats, clear out your cupboards and see what you have. If you need more, shop bulk deals and compare the price per kilo before you buy.
PETRIFYING POT LUCK: Ask your guests to each bring a delicious themed dish to your party to keep hosting costs down.
SPINE-CHILLING TUNES: Turn to YouTube for a frighteningly good free playlist. There are dozens of channels with hour-long music mixes.
HOLD A SPOOKY SWISH: Swishing — or clothes-swapping with friends — is an easy way to get a new wardrobe. Hold a spooky swish before Halloween to trade costumes for kids and adults.
FRIGHTENING FREEBIES: Sign up for a free local Halloween event. Check your local Nextdoor or Facebook pages, or search eventbrite.co.uk for ideas.
BLOODY GOOD DEAL: Don’t fork out for expensive fake blood. Make your own edible version instead. You can use it for cakes and to decorate costumes.
SHOP ON NOV 1: Be organised and bag the bargains for next year by hitting the shops the day after Halloween. Remember to buy your kids’ costumes a size larger to allow for growth.
