How is the Halloween Costume hunt coming? I told you my son wants to be a dinosaur, well I have had trouble finding a costume his size that is not Barney! {He definitely does not want to be Barney} If we can not find a suitable dino costume, he has conceded to be a vampire because he wants to wear fake fangs. This will be much more affordable to put together on the fly! Phew.
So what are you going to do for your kids OR even yourself?
- Trade with friends in a dust collector group.
- Make a cheap homemade costume.
- Shop online for a costume and use discount codes.
I found some new codes for Buycostumes.com
COUPON CODES:
VAMP10 – 10% off Any Order
Skull20 – $20 off Halloween Costumes
MAD10 – 10% off $40 or more
bogo20 – Buy One Get One 20% off
My next move is to go check out second hand stores. Fab FruGAL Helen let us know that Savers will give you a 30% off coupon if you bring in a bag of donations.



































It all began on October 8th, 2008. Cathy and Monica started this coupon blog to help friends and family learn about their new money saving hobby couponing! Since then they have taught thousands of women (and men) 





Sometimes homemade isn’t so cool. But you could pull off a homemade dinosaur. Colored sweats, make scales with styrofoam, cardboard cutouts, paper plates something you can manipulate to being stiff. Paint. And use Velcro or safety pins. You can get a beanie and put the scales on there too. If it’s really cold (like it always is in eastern Idaho) you can get those cheap onesize fits all gloves and improvise those as well. There are fabulous ideas all over the net, but parents magazine and family fun are favorites of mine. I just saw the cutestidea for Mario and luigi all homemade and probably mostly what is at home. Another great place to find costumes in your town is Other Mothers!! The usually have a ton, although they might be more picked through now since they already had their costume debut weekend.
Thanks TT!
I just went to CVS and was given a $10 off your purchase coupon at the machine. It does not include tobacco, alcohol or pharmacy items, but could result in a very inexpensive Halloween costume!
Sweet I love CVS!
