Halloween costume sales already!

| | Comments (2) |

JackoLanternDrawing.jpgWhat would today be without a deal on Halloween costumes? It's October 1! BizRate.com has compiled sales listings of costumes and accessories from a slew of online retailers for a direct comparison of prices.

Sort costumes by Price Low-High to see your cheapest options first. But remember many of the cheaper items are for accessories like gloves or makeup kits, so read carefully to see what you are buying.

A child's fairy costume that includes wings, a ribbon and a net headband is $10.

Another great way to put a costume together is to throw a costume making party. Ask everyone to bring items they are willing to give away or lend that could become part of a costume for someone else. Think wacky hats, feather boas, aviator glasses, and extra makeup. Open a bottle of wine and the ideas will flow.

Here's another idea ... my neighborhood is having a Halloween Costume Sidewalk Swap. We all bring out those darling costumes our kids have outgrown, display them on the sidewalk, from smallest to largest, then let the kids go "shopping." A fun costume treasure hunt for the kids and a big bargain for the parents!

Fabulous idea! Participants could get one ticket for each costume they donate, then re-deem the tickets for a new costume. Is there a way others can participate in your Sidewalk Swap? ~Julia
