Halloween is only 20 days away

Here is a great article from definitive deals!!


Halloween is right around the corner, and for many, that means decorations, pumpkins, parties and of course, finding the perfect costume for your little one. Since we all know what an expensive ordeal this can turn into, today we’re going to focus on 5 simple tips that can help you dress to impress this year, and all without breaking the bank.

 

Whether you’re looking for something scary, something funny or something unique, the most frightening part about costume shopping is the price tag. Fear not though, there are plenty of ways that you can find something that will make heads roll come October 31.

 

So what can you do? Here are a few tips:

 

1.
Avoid Seasonal Stores: You see them everywhere around this time of year, and as tempting as it can be to gather all of your materials from there, doing so can also turn this into a rather expensive ordeal. If you need one or two items, then by all means, go for it, but don’t get your entire costume from there. Especially if there are less expensive ways around you…
2.
Costumes With Friends: Whether it’s between friends, family members or even neighbors, many parents have discovered that swapping clothes (and in this case, costumes) is a great way to avoid spending money on something brand new. Plus, since most costumes aren’t worn on a regular basis, there is less wear-and-tear, meaning your kid gets a high quality get-up that’s just like new.  
3.
DIY: Why buy something new when you can make it yourself? Sometimes the best costumes are the ones that come from your own imagination or your own two hands. No need to visit the specialty stores, just a quick trip to a hobby shop for a few materials and you’re good to go.  
4.
Thrift Stores, Consignments, Second-Hand Stores: Of course, sometimes there’s no getting around buying a costume, and if this is the case, consider shopping for materials at a thrift store or a second-hand shop. Not only can you find a variety of materials and accessories that you can repurpose, but it will only cost you a fraction of what you would normally have to pay elsewhere.
5.
Online Coupons: Shopping online has its advantage. It gives you access to millions of stores, while also allowing you to scope out all of the deals you want. Of course, for those who refuse to pay full price, there’s the tried-and-true method of using coupons.

 

And one place will not only supply you with all of the deals you want, but they’ll do it all for free.

To do so, they provide shoppers everywhere with a variety of free online coupons to thousands of different stores.

Because as we like to say, “life is meant to be enjoyed.”
