Halloween is expensive and although it is over, the immediate
week after is perfect for taking advantage of steep discounts. Decorations and
all other overpriced Halloween accessories are priced for cheap; which usually
reflects the quality of Halloween-themed products.
Think about stocking up for the following year. With decorations
and costumes already purchased you will have more time and money next Halloween
for carving pumpkins and enjoying hayrides.
If you miss the window for after-Halloween sales, there are
plenty of other ways to save big. Purchase candy after other big holidays such
as Easter or Valentine’s Day. Make the decorations yourself—this pairs as a
great Halloween activity for kids.
Shop online to price compare and be sure to check reviews. Many
reviews will not be great, but if it’s a cheap price, then you’re getting the
expected value.
Avoid those Halloween-themed retailers that appear every October.
Their items are almost always over-priced.
There are many ways to save money on costumes, which, once
purchased for the whole family, can add up to a hefty price. Try to reuse or
repurpose costumes from previous years. Swap costumes with friends or
relatives. More and more funny costumes tend to be the simple but clever ones.
