Don’t let Halloween spook your pocketbook!
Do you remember the good old days of making costumes out of bed sheets and eating homemade treats – like candy apples and peanut brittle? Well, those inexpensive activities are not as popular as they used to be. The good news is a little creativity and wise spending can make this year’s haunted holiday a treat for both your wallet and your sweet tooth!
Consider these helpful tips:
- Make your own costume or trade with a friend to help cut costs. Search online for fun costume ideas. And consider recycling costumes from previous Halloweens and adding different accessories to create new ones.
- Do your shopping early or late to get the best deals on Halloween supplies. The day after is a perfect opportunity to buy decorations and costumes for next year.
- Buy candy and other treats in bulk.
- Check your local newspaper and mailers for coupons for Halloween supplies. You may even find a coupon for every item you plan to buy.
