Cheap Halloween Costume Ideas
3 October 2006halloweenexpress.com/halloween-costumes.php”>costumes” target=”_blank”>Money Under 30 has a great post on some cheap ideas for costumes for the upcoming Halloween season. If you’ve got kids who are going to need one, then it’s well worth a read - it gives you some easy ways to make costumes out of stuff around your house.
I’d add that if your budget isn’t too tight, you can often get away with building a costume around one or two cheap purchased things. Those latex monster masks are usually only a few bucks at Wal-Mart, and they’re the kind of thing boys will go nuts over. Get them the $4 mask, and have them wear black clothes from around the house, and you’ve got a cheap costume. It’s harder if your kids decide they want to be some popular character, but it can also be a chance to teach them various arts and crafts skills if you’re so inclined. Take them down to a Hobby Lobby and plan the costume with them under a certain budget - it’s a little less frugal, but it’s one of those things where if you make them do most of the work, your kids will probably get enough out of it for it to be worth it.
