Frugal
Halloween Tips and Ideas for the Family On A Budget
 How
do you celebrate Halloween when there is little cash in
your wallet? The frugal Halloween way, of course!
Even though
Halloween is the second highest spending season, you don’t have to
spend an arm and a leg to give your family a fun and memorable
Halloween.
Here are a few
frugal tips from frugal moms.
Trade
Costumes With Other Families & Neighbors
– Organize a costume swap party with friends and neighbors. Most
certainly, they all have costumes that their children have either
outgrown or aren’t interested in any longer. Make a pact to
yourself that you are not going to spend money on costumes this
year.
Make Your
Costume At Home – Look around your house for old
clothes, hats, accessories and craft supplies and make your own
homemade Halloween costumes.
Plan Ahead!
– Halloween candy and treats start appearing on store shelves around
the first of September. By keeping an eye out for sales during the
months of September and October, you’ll avoid that last minute panic
of not having Halloween treats and paying full price.
Buy Candy &
Treats In Bulk - But be
realistic about the quantity of treats you really need. If you only
have ten or twenty kids ringing your doorbell every year, consider
splitting a large, bulk package of goodies with a friend or
neighbor.
Think
Outside The Candy Box –
There is no law that says you have to give candy to the
trick-or-treaters on Halloween. In fact, many kids love to see
something different in their bags when they get home. Plastic
spider rings, pencils, mini microwave popcorn packs, mini pretzel
bags, sticks of gum are all great, economical and healthy treats to
give away.
Try Pennies
And Stickers as treats –
Kids love stickers and stickers are a terrific popular, but frugal,
treat to give away. Tattoos can also be a huge hit! It sounds
strange, but a bowl full of pennies will make any kid’s eyes light
up. Decide what you can afford to give to each child before your
doorbell rings for the first time.
Budget!
Make The Decision Now –
Decide right now that you’re not going to spend a lot of money this
year during Halloween. Keep your resolve as you walk through the
discount stores and see the multitude of Halloween decorations
beaming at you. By keeping it simple, you will provide a memorable
and cost-effective Halloween for your family.
