Tip #2

Consignment Sales & Garage Sales

This is my favorite tip. I buy high quality costumes for a fraction of the cost. Our kids use them as dress up clothes all year long! Visit Consignment Mommies to find a sale near you.

Tip #1 - Costume Exchange - Expand your network of possibilities. Ask friends and family if they'd be willing to trade and/or borrow costumes. Send an email, post on Facebook, put a note in your Mom's Club Newsletter, etc... Or make a night of it and have a party where everyone brings their old Halloween Costumes. (Make sure you write your name in your costume to ensure it returns.)

CHALLENGE 

Challenge your older kids to see who can save the most money on their costume this year. Start them off with frugal cost saving skills that will last a lifetime!
