| I usually spend $50-$75 per costume. Maybe another $25 for makeup or accessories |

| $20. But he's 4 so not really elaborate. |

| I try to spend only $30 or less per kid. |

| I just bought my daughter her 'dream' costume $130 total. Yes, I went insane. And was totally living out unresolved childhood issues of feeling like I had uncool costumes and clothes. I own it. Son's $40 seemed like a bargain. |

| 20-25 each this year. In the past I have spent more but it doesn't translate into a better costume. |

| I think I'll be around $100, including face paint, for one child. |

Holy crap.
My mom found a cute costume two years ago after Halloween for $4. My daughter wants to wear it again this year (and it still fits). The year before that she wore a princess dress we already had, and I spent maybe $5-8 on supplies to make her a fancy hat. I think I spent about $15 on my sons costume last year-and he also wants to reuse it this year. |

| About $20-25 but I'm going partly DIY and buying items that can be used again (e.g. Sweatshirt as part of a costume and then using that for my kids' wardrobe for the rest of the year). |

| The art teacher in me must make their costumes, as long as they'll let me. On all supplies about $9-10 each for two boys. |

Same and I plan to resell the only ones as kid2 outgrows them. |

| $35 and I thought I was being really extravagant. Usually I make one. |

| I won't spend more than $20-$30 on the costume. But then I wind up spending more money on an accessory I didn't think of -- last year she had a short sleeve princess dress and rather than have her wear a jacket over it I spent $15 on a long-sleeve shirt the exact color of the dress to wear under it. |

$130 for three boys' costumes. That is about $100 more than I wanted to spend!
