The Juice: A Little Something Extra for your morning

Maybe an extra bag of Snickers this year

Retail

With all of the not-so-good news lately about the economy, it could almost make you want to dress-up and pretend you're someone or something else. Or maybe just eating a lot of candy would help. Don't know if there's any link, but apparently people are buying up more Halloween costumes, candy, and other goodies than ever. The National Retail Federation estimates the average person will spend almost $65 on the holiday this year -- about 10 percent more than last year. It might sound batty, but total Halloween spending will be at more than $5 billion.
