3 Ways to Save Money This Halloween

I know – you’re probably thinking “why on earth are you bringing up Halloween already?!”. But the truth is, Halloween will be here before we know it and I’ve always been a huge believer in preparing WELL in advance! So here are five strategies for you to start thinking about to SAVE money on Halloween 2012:

1. Halloween Costumes

Of course you can make your children’s Halloween costumes from scratch, but if you prefer to buy them already made (I’m guilty of it too!) – you can get these costumes at much cheaper prices now compared to when you go to purchase them in October. You can search Halloween Express and Spirit Halloween to search for your kids dream Halloween costume!

2. Halloween Candy

For those of us who live in the suburbs, we all know how much candy we go through on All Hollows Eve! So the best way to save money on Halloween candy is to purchase baby coupons and go to your local bulk foods store and buy candy in bulk when they have certain sales.

3. Halloween Decorations

This is my favorite part of Halloween! I love decorating my house and having the kids help out! Usually for Halloween decorations I go and raid my local Dollar General AS SOON as they begin to sell Halloween decorations (usually they put out the decorations on sale in September).

Halloween has been one of my favorite times of the year not only because I love the gorgeous autumn colors changing, but also because of the fun and excitement of Halloween! Hopefully these tips help you in cutting back your expenses this year.
