Introduction
Halloween candy, costumes, entertaining, and decorations can all add up to break your family budget in October. By planning ahead, using what you have, and shopping strategically, you can save money on Halloween. -
Step 1: Create a Plan
Your plan should have two parts. You need to decide how much you can afford to spend on Halloween, and then decide what Halloween items are most important to you in order to prioritize your spending.- Examine your family budget, and determine how much available cash you have to spend on Halloween.
- Make a list of what you would like to have for Halloween— candy for trick or treaters, props and decorations, costumes, spooky food, entertaining items, and whatever else you think you'd like.
- Go over your list and prioritize the items in list of importance. This way you'll know what to eliminate, if at the end you can't figure out a way to save enough money on individual items to afford them all.
Step 2: Check Your Closets, Pantry and Attic
The easiest way to save money is not to spend it. Go through your house to determine what you already have.- Search your attic and basement for old Halloween decorations.
- Check your closets for items you can use to make costumes.
- Your pantry may contain ingredients you can use to make alternative Halloween treats of spooky foods
Step 3: Smart Shopping
Planning ahead will allow you to use coupons and watch for sales on Halloween candy and foods. Shop at thrift stores for decorations and costume supplies. Consider shopping at warehouse stores, and splitting bulk purchases with friends.Resources Powered by Google
