Halloween is right around the corner! If you are going to a Halloween party or event and don't want to spend a mint on expensive costumes - you can get creative by putting together your own!
A must is to visit local thrift stores to see what you can piece together for a bargain. Or get crafty and make or construct your own creative one-of-a-kind costume!
Here are some frugal, clever and inexpensive costume ideas for inspiration. Whether it's couples costumes, group costumes, kids costumes or pet costumes - like the photo above of this cute doggie wearing a fro' wig, cool shades and a gold chain - you can do it cheaply!
Hippies - just add funky patches to some flared jeans, a couple of big wigs, groovy shades, chains and loud shirts along with the peace sign...
just like Jim and I did one year! |
