Costco first stocked their cutesy and ghoulish wares over the summer, but now that we're into the final shopping days before Halloween, we're finding markdowns both in stores and online. And just like always, Costco's in-store Halloween deals are cheaper than shopping Costco online (even for the exact same items!).
Below, I'll run through the list of what's still available in stores and on Costco.com. While many of the Costco exclusives have already sold out in stores (like the Disney Halloween Lantern and the Disney Party House), there are still plenty of online deals to scoop up before they're gone.
Remember that these seasonal items won't get restocked, so grab them while you still can — especially if you see them marked down!

Trending Costco Halloween Deals Still Available
Now that we're about a week out from Halloween, we're seeing a few more in-store markdowns and online price drops.
Note: You can shop these deals online without a Costco membership, but you'll pay a 10% non-member surcharge at checkout.
Halloween candy — as low as $0.67 per full-size bar or $0.11 per sharing size
Costco is a great place to shop for Halloween candy, especially if you're going for the full-size bars. They typically run laps around Walmart, who charges around $1.11 per full-size candy bar (in their variety packs). I should note that Walmart has slightly better prices for the sharing sizes (around $0.10 per piece).
Here are the current Costco candy prices we're tracking now:
Kirkland Funhouse Treats, 175 ct, $19.99 in store ($22.99 online) — as low as $0.11 per piece
Kirkland All Chocolate, 150 ct, $19.99 in store ($22.99 online) — as low as $0.13 per piece
Hershey's Variety Pack, 30 ct, $19.99 in store ($26.19 online) — as low as $0.67 per piece
Mars Variety Pack, 30 ct, $26.99 in store ($31.99 online) — as low as $0.90 per piece
How much you save by shopping in store at Costco: $3 - $6.20 (13% - 24% savings)
KCL TIP: Costco does have great Halloween candy prices when you break it down to the price per piece, but you’ll also want to run their prices against drugstores, who can sometimes beat Costco prices during the month of October.
Squishmallows Jumbo Treat Pail — as low as $9.97 in store
These 16-Inch Squishmallows Jumbo Treat Pails were priced at $17.99 in early October, but now they're only $9.97 in stores (a 45% price drop). They're currently $14.97 on Costco.com (a 25% price drop).
Similar Squishmallows Treat Pails on Amazon sell for around $20, so the Costco deal is even better, and you have a different set of characters to choose from.
How much you save by shopping in store at Costco: $5 (33% savings)
Animated Pumpkin Scarecrow (Costco Exclusive) — as low as $99.97 in store
This exclusive 7-Foot Animated Pumpkin Scarecrow was priced at $159.97 in-store in late September, but a week out from Halloween, we're finding him in-stock for as low as $99.97 (a 38% price drop).
If you shop online with a Costco membership, you'll pay costs $129.97 (reg. $224.99).
I hunted for similar-looking animatronics at other stores, but all I could find was a 12-Foot Pumpkin Skeleton on sale for $189 at Home Depot (currently out of stock) and a 12-Foot Animatronic Scarecrow for $299.22 at Lowe's.

Halloween costumes — as low as $9.97 in store
Costco’s Halloween costume selection usually arrives in stores by August and starts getting discounted by late September (the discounts start at around $19.97 and get better as the weeks go on). And it's not just scary costumes — we typically see kids’ costumes available for all sorts of critters, creatures, and professions.
You can score some deep savings on Costco's costumes if you wait until the final weeks before Halloween, but inventory will be limited by then. For example, by Oct. 22, 2024, you can find costume markdowns that bring some prices as low as $9.97, depending on the style.
If you shop online, you'll pay around $35.99 per Teetot costume. Here are a few in-store deals at my local Costco the week before Halloween 2024:
Disney Princess Deluxe Costumes, $9.97 (reg. $31.99)
Marvel Licensed Costumes, $9.97 (reg. $19.97)
Teetot Assorted Halloween Costumes, $24.97
How much you save by shopping in store at Costco: ~ $11 (31% savings)
20-inch Squishmallows — as low as $19.97 in store
We found 20-inch Squishmallows from The Nightmare Before Christmas collection in Costco stores as early as the first week of August priced at $24.99 (see the selection in our deal post). But as of the week before Halloween, they've dropped in price by 20%, to just $19.97 in store.
If you buy them on Costco.com, you'll pay $32.99 for the 20-inch Halloween Squishmallows.

Disney Halloween Lantern (Costco Exclusive) — as low as $19.97 in store
Originally priced at $24.97, we're finding the Disney Halloween Lantern as low as $19.97 in stores.
As of the week before Halloween, they're out of stock online. It's a Costco exclusive, so you won't find it anywhere else this season (unless you buy it through third-party sellers on Walmart or Amazon).
Disney Halloween Party House (Costco Exclusive) — $49.97 online
This Disney Halloween Party House already got clearanced out at Costco stores, but you'll find it in stock online for shipping for $49.97 (reg. $99.99). That's 50% off the regular price. The party house is a Costco exclusive, so you won't find it anywhere else this season (unless you buy from third-party sellers on Walmart or Amazon).
Disney Pirate Ship (Costco Exclusive) — $49.97 online
The Disney Pirate Ship with lights and music already sold out in stores, but you can still find it in stock online for $49.97 (reg. $99.99), or 50% off. You won't find this Disney pirate ship anywhere else, as it's a Costco exclusive, unless you buy it from third-party sellers on Walmart or Amazon.
Animated Werewolf (Costco Exclusive) — $249.97 online
This 7-foot Animated Werewolf (a Costco exclusive) had a series of price drops in stores, but is now only available online for $249.97 (reg. $339.99), or 27% off.
A similar (but not identical) 7-foot animated werewolf costs $303.91 at Lowe's, so the Costco online price is still a good deal.
Halloween Harvest Decorative Pillow — $14.97 online
In late August, we found these Halloween-themed throw pillows for as low as $9.99 at our local Costco, but they're now sold out in stores as of October 2024. They're still available online, though, for $14.97 (reg. $19.99). Right now, I'm seeing Batty Moon, Pumpkin, and Scottish Harvest still in stock online.
Similar themed pillows went for around $6.97 at Walmart, but those are already sold out online.
Disney Mickey Jack-O-Lantern (Costco Exclusive) — $89.99 online
This Disney Mickey Jack-O-Lantern already sold out in Costco stores, but it's still available online for $89.99. Pottery Barn Kids sells a similar Disney Pumpkin Luminary for $99, so the Costco version is a few dollars cheaper.
Costco Halloween Items That Already Sold Out in 2024
Your local Costco may or may not still have these trending Halloween items in stock (but they're likely sold out). To check if an item is in stock at your local store, open the Costco app (iOS / Android), select "Warehouse" from the bottom menu, and then "Search Warehouse Inventory."
Giant Ground Breaking Skeleton (Costco Exclusive) — was $249.99 in store
If you shopped online with your Costco membership, this Giant Ground Breaking Skeleton (currently out of stock) cost $329.99, but delivery wasn't available in all areas.
I did find a very similar but slightly smaller Ground Breaking Skeleton for $249.99 on TractorSupply.com (now out of stock), but shipping was an extra $99.99.
