How to Save Hundreds of Dollars When Shopping for Halloween
Halloween is practically here again which means you need to go out and spend the requisite small fortune that quickly scans the blogosphere each year to stock candy bowls, put costumes on the children and manage any other necessities like school parties or haunted houses. While Halloween might appear like a cash sink each and every year, it won't have to be. Here are a few quick guidelines to help you save money and luxuriate in your holiday much more in '09:
Make Your Own Costumes
Costumes through the store can be quite expensive, particularly if you're buying for adults. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a new Peyton Manning outfit, why not dig up your old senior high school football jersey and buying some used pads from the thrift store. Get creative in order to find ways to take shortcuts and save money on your costume. Not only is it more pleasant to make your personal costumes, it can help you stick out when you attend parties.
Keep Children's Costumes Hidden
A big problem that many parents face is the dilemma of purchasing a child's costume early. Not only is it possible that they will change their mind and need something different eventually, some may decide they want to play in the costume. To counter these possibilities, hide the costume whenever you buy it , nor let them talk you into a second option if it gets close to October 31.
Buy Candy in Bulk
Candy might be expensive, particularly if you decide to buy it in small bags of 30 or 40 pieces. Instead, head to Costco or Sam's Club and put on extra as much candy since you can. If you don't think you'll need a whole lot of, split the purchase price with a relative or neighbor. Almost everyone needs some candy to give out on Halloween - it's likely are going to all for the split. If you end up getting extra candy, consider saving it as well - you may find that on Thanksgiving or Christmas you will need something extra all over to hand out.
Decorations on the Cheap
Halloween decorations can appear like an unnecessary expense. Instead of venturing out a week before Halloween and spending $100+ in it, consider buying them early. Even if you can't get it done this year, go to the store on November 1st next season to load up on decorations early. The second Halloween is over, stores are desperate to get their Christmas stock out to the floor. You'll find deals of up to 75% off or higher sometimes since they clear out the old stuff.
Another wise decision here is to look online and purchase your decorations from direct retailers where prices are greatly reduced. You'll save money and most almost daily will have many more options to select from.
