I've found these great tips from Frugal Living Mom! How to Save on Halloween Costumes This Year!
Here are a few great tips on how to save on Halloween Costumes this year.


1. Make Your Own


You don’t have to be an expert on sewing to make your own costume, in fact it’s super easy to piece together just about anything if you’re creative enough!


2. Use Dress Up Clothes


Most little girls have a ton of dress up clothes that they like to wear, from princess costumes to the little plastic slip on high heels. Why not use these to create a Halloween Costume out of? You can even hit up the local dollar store to find cheap dress up accessories to top the outfit off.


3. Buy a Used Costume


One reader mentioned that she purchased Halloween costumes at the thrift store for just $1 for her kids, this is an awesome idea!


4. Reuse a Costume From a Prior Year


If you have an older child you can always reuse their costume for one of the younger kids!


5. Swap Costumes With Friends


Check with some friends who have children around the same age as yours and see about swapping costumes together!


6. Shop The Clearance Rack After Halloween


This is how I buy all my seasonal decorations and is a fantastic way to buy costumes also! After Halloween is over they mark down costumes to 50% or even 75% off making them a fantastic deal.
