13 Scary-Good Halloween Deals and Freebies, From Burritos to Ice Cream

Who says kids should get to have all the fun on Halloween? This year, there are a bunch of scary-good deals and freebies that will make the holiday a delight for kids of all ages. So if you’re looking to fill your trick-or-treat bag with pizza, burritos, ice cream and more, get your Halloween costume ready and check out these sweet Halloween deals. These promotions typically run around October 31, but always verify with locations as offers can vary by year and participation.

Halloween is not just about candy—it’s an opportunity to enjoy family meals, treats, and fun activities at little to no cost. From fast-food giants to family restaurants and retail giants, brands roll out special offers to lure in costumed customers. Planning ahead ensures you maximize savings while creating memorable spooky moments. Below, we break down 13 top deals, including requirements, what’s offered, and tips to score them.

1. Amazon

Looking for last-minute deals on everything from Halloween candy and decorations to movies and party supplies? Check out Amazon’s Halloween Deals page for 10-50% off popular Halloween goodies. This is perfect for stocking up on essentials like costumes, lights, and themed snacks without leaving home. Pro tip: Prime members get faster shipping, and deals update frequently leading up to October 31.

2. Applebee’s

Trick or drink! If you celebrate Halloween with cocktails, stop by Applebee’s for some “spooky sips” like the “Boo Lagoon Mucho”—a concoction of rum, blue curaçao, pineapple with a cherry garnish—for just $5 each. These limited-time drinks add a festive twist to adult Halloween outings. Availability may depend on location, so call ahead.

3. Baskin-Robbins

You don’t have to scream for free ice cream this Halloween. As part of its Celebrate 31 promotion, all Baskin-Robbins customers can get 31% off any flavor of ice cream on the 31st of any month. On Halloween, score this sweet deal on scoops, sundaes, or cakes. It’s a year-round perk, but Halloween makes it extra thematic.

4. Bass Pro Shops

Round up the family and head to a participating Bass Pro Shop from Oct. 25-Oct. 31 for a free candy hunt throughout the store. This event includes family-friendly activities like games and photo ops with characters. Check the full schedule on their site for times and participating stores.

5. Buffalo Wild Wings

Throughout October, Buffalo Wild Wings offers 10 free boneless wings with any online or in-app order of $15 or more. Halloween falls on a Thursday, when they also provide free boneless wings with any takeout or delivery order of $15+. Stack these for wing feasts without the full price tag.

6. Krispy Kreme

On Halloween, snag a free original glazed doughnut—no purchase required. This simple offer is available at participating locations while supplies last. It’s an easy treat to grab on your way to trick-or-treating.

7. Chipotle

Chipotle brings back its “Boo-rito” promotion on Halloween. If you’re a Chipotle Rewards member, wear your costume to the restaurant on October 31 for an entree for $6. Sign up for rewards if you haven’t—it’s free and boosts your savings.
