Halloween came and went for our family already. We celebrated early with our kids because the 31st is just a little too close to the first of the month when my hubby has to "close the books." Our kids had fun trick-or-treating & we had fun taking them. I save money on costumes and fall decor by shopping AFTER Halloween. The day after, all the stores reduce their prices. Each day that passes, the prices will fall because the stores want to get rid of everything! I bought our children's costumes two days after Halloween LAST YEAR and spent $5 for one and $2.50 for the other. I just bought the next size up. I refuse to spend $30 on a Cinderella costume. It's just too much. Even the days following Halloween, my kids still had two to three costumes to choose from.
Another great option is to find friends or family with some older children. When they are finished with their costumes, ask if you may borrow for next year and return later. No child wants to wear a costume twice anyhow.
For some cheap family fun, we took our family to a Harvest Party at our church. Many churches put these on and there are so many great activities to do there. The only cost for us was food and we spent $5 for all of us to eat a very filling meal.
Have a Happy and safe Halloween. Remember to watch your babes closely and carefully check all candy!
