Halloween By the Numbers:
$350 MILLION-- Total amount people will spend on costumes for pets, up 60% from 2010, according to the National Retail Federation. (And folks wonder why their dogs bite them.

$2.5 BILLION-- Total projected Halloween candy sales this year, according to the National Confectioners Association. (We spent $14 before Halloween and about $15 yesterday when it was half price.)
