Money Saving 101: Halloween



Author: Lindsey

I don’t know about any of you, but the first week of October flew by and before you know it, Halloween will be here! Whether you’re a fan of this holiday or not we can all agree on one thing: it can get expensive! Here are five some to save some money and still have lots of candy. 

1. Buy candy that is on sale or shop in bulk at your local Costco or Sam’s club. 

2. Don’t spend tons of $$ on costumes! There are tons of creative costumes you can make or purchase for smaller amounts of money. An average adult sized costume can run over $40! That is a lot of money for one night. Look around online on sites like Amazon for cheaper deals or hit the local thrift store for some items to create your own. 

3. Shop for holiday decorations after the holiday is over. This is true for any season! After Halloween is over, all the pumpkins and goblins you could want are going to be 50% off or more. Shop now for next year!

4. Walk your trick-or-treat route if you can. Gas is over $4 in some areas and unless it is raining, try walking from house to house and leave the car at home. 

5. Visit your local farmers markets for pumpkins and other fall essentials rather than a chain store. The prices will be cheaper and you will be supporting the local economy as well. 

Do YOU have any tips for saving this Halloween??
