If you wait all season to stock up on Halloween candy, don't miss the Kroger Halloween Candy Sale in mid-October. The 3-day, in-store event slashes prices on ALL Kroger Halloween candy by 25%, and all you'll need to do is clip a digital coupon in your Kroger account before you shop.

Granted, we were a little bummed that the discount dropped even lower in 2024 (in 2023, it was 33% off, and way back in 2020, it was 50% off). But there are still a few ways to boost your savings by stacking the next sale with Fetch rebate offers, Catalina coupons, and Kroger weekly ad deals. In fact, by taking advantage of those tactics in 2024, you could save up to 63% on regular candy prices!

The Kroger Halloween Candy Sale is a 3-day event that gives you 25% off all Halloween candy (with a digital coupon).

We particularly like shopping Kroger's annual Halloween Candy Sale in October because it's 25% off the lowest marked price, which means the discount gets stacked on top of their current sale prices. And lots of eligible Kroger Halloween candy is already marked down by the time October rolls around.

There are also no exclusions with the Kroger Halloween Candy Sale — meaning every bag of Halloween candy is eligible for the 25% off deal (as long as it's in stock). You'll just need to clip the digital coupon in your Kroger account before you shop.

KCL predicts the next Kroger Halloween Candy Sale will happen Oct. 17 - 19, 2025, in stores.

Calendar showing the predicted start date for the Kroger Halloween Candy Sale 2025 on Oct. 17.

If Kroger follows their game plan from previous years, you can expect to see an in-store Halloween Candy Sale at Kroger stores (and at other Kroger affiliate stores like Smith's) from Friday, Oct. 17 - Sunday, Oct. 19, 2025. The dates will get confirmed in the Kroger weekly ad.

If you shop online for Kroger delivery, you'll get a few additional days to shop, as the Halloween Candy Sale coupon can be applied to delivery orders scheduled during the entire sale week (Wednesday - Tuesday).

How do we make our prediction?

For the past several years, Kroger has held their Halloween candy sale on either the second or third weekend in October (but the third weekend has happened more frequently). We bet they'll stick to that pattern in 2025, and continue the 25% off discount.

Past dates and savings amounts for the Kroger Halloween candy sale:

  • Friday, Oct. 18 - Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024 — 25% off

  • Friday, Oct. 13 - Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023 — 33% off

  • Friday, Oct. 14 - Sunday, Oct. 16, 2022 — 33% off

  • Friday, Oct. 15 - Sunday, Oct. 17, 2021 — 33% off

  • Wednesday, Oct. 14 - Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020 — 50% off

Remember to clip the digital coupon in your Kroger account before you shop.

The Halloween candy savings won't apply automatically at checkout, so don't forget this step. Just log in to your Kroger account and look for the "Save 25% on Halloween Candy" coupon. Then clip it.

Keep in mind that you may not see this coupon in your account until the sale actually starts, and it'll disappear after the final day of the sale.

Combine the Kroger Halloween Candy sale with rebate offers and Catalina coupons to boost your savings.

While 25% off is the discount they advertise during the Kroger Halloween Candy Sale, you can boost your savings even higher by taking advantage of Fetch rebate offers and Catalina coupons that'll print out at the register (and can be used toward your next purchase).

For example, in 2024, there was an active Fetch rewards rebate that gave you 4,500 points (worth about $4.50 in rewards) when you bought three seasonal Mars Wrigley Variety Packs (think Snickers, Twix, M&M's, Skittles, and Starburst). You just had to scan your receipt after you shopped to get the credit.

And if you bought five or more bags of Ferraro-owned brands like Butterfinger, Crunch, Baby Ruth, or 100 Grand (the 10-ounce size or larger) in 2024, you could get a Catalina coupon at checkout good for $4 off your next purchase.

KCL TIP: When you download the Fetch app, use the promo code KCL to get 1,000 points for free.
