How much did you spend on Halloween costumes?

Anonymous
$5 from last year's clearance for one child and $10 for another child, both from walmart

$20 for one DD (costco) and $38 for other DD (disney store).

I was appalled at spending the $38. I would NEVER spend $120 on a child's costume.

You know Chasing Fireflies, the luxury costume and dress place?
Well, I ordered eagle wings there for $32 and when they arrived they STANK of cheap glue, and some of the feathers started coming loose. They look good from afar but the construction is poor and I bet they're uncomfortable to wear.
DD is all excited and so I can't return them, but man I wish I'd taken a look at them before she came home from school.


Oh yes, we purchased a pink witch costume from Chasing Fireflies that filled our house with feathers and glitter until Christmas.

Probably about $40-50 a kid. We're making them and much of that is for reusable clothes in the necessary colors. Paint, fabric, and duct tape start adding up though.

I spent about $30 each. One was store bought, the other y kid designed themselves and was the cost of the materials (but not my time to sew it).

I got out of Party City for $77 total for two kids. Thought that was pretty good.

Around 140 for two separate costumes plus accessories for DD13, and around 50 for DD4's complete costume.
