With the return of the McDonald’s Halloween Buckets on Oct. 17, Burger King has surprised us by dropping their own Halloween bucket (but there is a catch in finding one!). Plus, they’re even giving a special Halloween food deal that you can pick up.
We’ll let you know how to grab this BK Halloween food deal, where you can find the new Burger King buckets (it’s not going to be easy, unfortunately: it’s only available in four cities), and even give you a comparison of the BK food deal versus other fast food restaurant offers.
We’ve been keeping track of all the Halloween deals that you should know about — including costumes, decorations, and food. For more smart shopping tips and savings hacks, text HACKS to 57299.
Burger King Halloween buckets will arrive in four cities on Friday, Oct. 13 at the price of $1 each.
This year, the Burger King Halloween buckets will start selling in Nashville, Tenn.; Las Vegas, Nevada; Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta, Georgia, on Oct. 13. Each bucket has a black background with white glow-in-the-dark “ghost peppers” surrounding it.
Each Burger King Halloween bucket costs $1, and they will be available until Halloween or until they run out of supplies.
If you don’t live in the four markets where Burger King is selling Halloween buckets, you’ll be able to get a limited-edition “ghost pepper” crown for free with any purchase at every location until they run out of supplies.

If you don’t live in Nashville, Las Vegas, Charlotte, or Atlanta, Burger King is still offering a “Trick or Heat” meal deal through the Burger King website or app on Oct. 13 (we predict it will be here through Halloween).

You’ll grab a cheaper Halloween bucket from Burger King when compared to McDonald’s.
This year, the McDonald’s Halloween bucket will be the toy for the McDonald’s Happy Meal between Oct. 17 to 30. McDonald’s has confirmed that the only way to receive a Halloween bucket is through a Happy Meal (starts at a price of $4.99), so you won’t be able to purchase one separately.
That means the Burger King Halloween bucket will be cheaper since you don’t have to purchase a meal that costs around $4-$5 to receive one. Of course, if you’re already getting a Happy Meal, you will technically get a Halloween bucket for free.
We’ve got the skinny on all the comparisons between McDonald’s Rewards and Burger King Rewards programs to know which will save you more.
