Candy is a huge party of Halloween and that will always remain true.  One of the age old traditions of Halloween is trick or treating.  From Wikipedia.org here is a brief history of trick or treating:

The tradition of going from door to door receiving food already existed in Britain and Ireland, in the form of souling, where children and poor people would sing and say prayers for the dead in return for cakes.[3] Guising — children disguised in costumes going from door to door for food and coins — also predates trick or treat, and was traditional at Halloween in late 19th century Scotland and Ireland.[4] While going from door to door has remained popular among Scots and Irish, the North American custom of saying “trick or treat” has recently become common. The activity is prevalent in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, and northwestern and central Mexico (where it is called calaverita, Spanish for “little skull”; instead of “trick or treat”, children ask ¿me da mi calaverita?, “can you give me my little skull?”). In the last twenty years, amid controversy, the custom has spread to other countries, such as Italy, Australia and New Zealand, possibly due to the ubiquity of American TV shows and movies in those countries.

Over the last several years many statistics have shown that over 80% of adult Americans plan to give out candy or some type of treat to children while 93% of children state that they plan to trick or treat this holiday season.  This should come as very little surprise as this is the biggest tradition when it comes to Halloween.  Look for Halloween 2010 to provide some of the biggest sales in history when it comes to candy and costumes.

If you are looking to save a little bit of extra money there are always deals at the major retailers when it comes to buying candy.  If you visit a local retailer during the week of Halloween you will likely find many deals to get some candy at a low price.  By shopping around you may find some amazing deals at WalMart, Target, CVS or Walgreens.

Prior to the trick or treating process you may want to search for a printable Halloween costume mask for kids and children.  This are sure to be very popular this year as almost all children will want to create a completely unique mask or costume that no one else has.  With the advancements of the Internet it should be quite easy to find some options when it comes to printing a Halloween mask in 2010.
