According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), the NRF 2005 Halloween Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by BIGresearch, found that consumer spending ($3.29 billion) for 2005 was expected to be 5.4% above the amount for 2004. Much of the increase in spending was expected to come from young adults. Consumers in the 18-24 age group expected to spend an overall average of $50.75. On costumes alone they expect to spend an average of $22.00. A file entitled Costumes contains similar data.
