Intro
Here's the bad news: Halloween is a 7 billion dollar industry in
the United States. That's big money, and sometimes it seems like you need those
kind of big bucks to outfit yourself or your kid in a costume good enough for
them to hold their head high the following day at school. The good news? The
demand for low-cost solutions to all things, not just Halloween, means that
there are more dollar stores (and, sometimes, slightly less than a dollar,
wink-wink..) than ever before. And these places are an absolute gold-mine for
your Halloween costume toolbox. Nevermind the pre-mades they have on their
shelves. Here are 5 fun, creative, and absolutely easy-to-make costumes with
the most affordable ingredients imaginable. Trick or Cheap!
