My husband once went to a party as toxic waste. He wore an orange biohazard waste-marked trash bag on his torso (holes cut out for arms and legs, gathered around neck, padded a bit to add 'fullness'), found some green tights to cover his legs, and added a few glow sticks inside the bag to make the whole things a little more eerie. It was really pretty cool, and minimal cost, since we'd been given the bag!

I then took the sleeves and tucked them into the Jacket pockets after attaching a plastic halloween pumpkin bucket to the sleeve so it looked like he was carrying his pumpkin head.
I placed a glow stick inside the plastic pumpkin and so it glowed.
I cut a slit where my son could see out the front of the shirt but since it was dark and his face was colored to match the shirt he was invisible. (you can barely see his eye if you look on his chest).
It was an awesome costume of the headless horseman and it was very inexpensive since I used his Grandfather's old outdated jacket and shirt.

Another time I put on a black suit with a cowboy hat and found a copy of the Book of Mormon and went to the party as a 19th century mormon missionary.
In both cases I was able to do the costumes with off-the-rack stuff out of my closet, without makeup, and without having to make or demolish clothing.

• LOL! Very creative... I need to think of a "budget-conscious" costume this year. Thanks for sharing this idea!

I took a man's shirt and jacket and stuffed it with a pillow and placed it on my sons head. Tying the pillow on like an old fashioned bonnet. I then took the sleeves and tucked them into the Jacket pockets after attaching a plastic halloween pumpkin bucket to the sleeve so it looked like he was carrying his pumpkin head.
I placed a glow stick inside the plastic pumpkin and so it glowed.

Well, one time I shaved real close, put on a peakock blue short sleave plaid shirt, some genes, and some boots, and went to a party as a lesbian. Another time I put on a black suit with a cowboy hat and found a copy of the Book of Mormon and went to the party as a 19th century mormon missionary.
In both cases I was able to do the costumes with off-the-rack stuff out of my closet, without makeup, and without having to make or demolish clothing.
