Easy, cheap Halloween costumes

 

Halloween is a great holiday for many to enjoy. Whether you take part in trick-or-treating, go to Halloween parties or accompany your kids as they go around the neighborhood in search for delicious candy, October is a fun month to look forward to.

With this holiday, the hunt for the perfect costume is imminent. The problem, though, is not with trying to find a costume; ideas are everything. The issue is the cost.

Costume prices at places like Target, Wal-Mart and Kohl’s, for example, are distasteful; not to mention the insultingly sky-high prices at actual Halloween stores.

For those that are looking for great, cheap and reasonable costumes and/or costume ideas, check out dollar stores and thrift stores such as Goodwill.

Goodwill not only has a wide variety of clothing styles, allowing for regular clothing to be turned into Halloween costumes at the customers imagination, Goodwill also offers a “Boo-Tique”.

The Boo-Tique includes costumes for all ages, children to adults, at amazingly low prices. Among the costume choices you will find everything from steam punk to pirates, zombies to military, 1920s style dresses to wedding dresses, witches and even dog costumes.

Affordable accessories such as wigs, tattoo kits and many more are also offered to go along with these costumes.

As mentioned before, the great thing about Goodwill is its diverse clothing. Customers are bound to find things they would never find in branded and commercialized stores like Wal-Mart and Target. This allows for a great opportunity in DIY (Do It Yourself) Halloween costumes. If you cannot find exactly what you are looking for at the Boo-Tique, walk around and find your own costume style.

Thrift store shopping is a great way get what you want and save money while you do it. Let your imagination run wild and your creative side flow free.
