13 Tips to Save Money on Halloween

October 9, 2022 By Paula Leave a Comment

12 Tips to Save Money on Halloween

With consumers returning to their pre-pandemic behaviors, we could see pre-pandemic numbers of revelers and spending this year. It’s a spooktacular time of year! A survey of more than 8,200 people by Prosper Insights & Analytics and the National Retail Federation found that nearly seven in 10 consumers are planning to celebrate Halloween this year. The NRF predicts that consumers will spend $10.6 billion on Halloween candy, outdoor decorations, costumes, pumpkin carving, attending or hosting a party this year, and other Halloween items.

Halloween expenses like candy, costumes, and decorations can quickly add up but you can save big on Halloween without sacrificing the spooky fun for kids of all ages with these tips.

13 Ways You Can Save On Halloween

Halloween Party Table

1. Buy arts and craft supplies at the dollar store.

Visit dollar or other discount stores for great savings on some basic supplies for making your own decorations. Ready-made treat bags, party favors, and Halloween decorations can be used to make wreaths, centerpieces, yard decor, and other festive decorations.

2. Buy your Halloween candy from a warehouse club.

Getting your Halloween candy in bulk from a warehouse club can help you save money. Get a few bags of mixed candy to give your trick-or-treaters lots of options. 

Party Store Halloween Decorations

3. Shop at online party stores for Halloween decorations.

Whether you’re decorating for the season, a Halloween party, or your home for trick-or-treaters, check out the Halloween décor at online party stores for some great deals before spending your money at the big-box stores. Keep an eye out for coupons and online-only offers. Often party stores will offer discounts on bulk buys and run specials on Halloween items throughout the season.

4. Shop at bargain stores.

Stores, like Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, that carry overstock, surplus, and slightly damaged or irregular merchandise can be a  bargain hunter’s paradise as they often have a large selection of holiday-themed merchandise. Many carry discounted Halloween costumes and accessories.

Don’t forget the thrift and charity stores. Thrift stores are the perfect place to find Halloween decor — from creepy old dolls and beautifully aged jars for lanterns to dusty baskets and so much more — that you can repurpose to make your very own Haunted House.

5. Make your own Halloween costumes.

There are all kinds of tutorials and tips for making Halloween costumes with inexpensive materials online. Visit Pinterest boards and posts from crafty bloggers to get inspiration. Buy items you can reuse in your everyday life, for next year’s Halloween, or that you can repurpose. My daughter’s favorite costume was Pippi Longstocking. And it was so affordable! I just braided her hair into two pigtails, ran a wire coat hanger through them, painted some freckles on with my eyeliner, and dressed her in some fun stripes.

Bonus Tip: Swap costumes Most of us wear our Halloween costumes once, maybe twice. So consider swapping with some of your closest friends and family members.

Deviled Egg Eyeballs

6. Dress up the foods you have on hand.

Check your fridge, freezer, pantry, and cupboards to see what creative Halloween recipes you can come up with. Wrap some dough strips around a hot dog to make mummy dogs, use pumpkins as bowls, turn deviled eggs into eyeballs with an olive slice and by making blood streaks with red food coloring. For more ideas check out 13 Fun & Easy Halloween Food Ideas – Eat, Drink, and Be Scary.

7. Find free activities near you.

Many of us don’t have room in our budget to host a Halloween party or hand out holiday candy this year. There are events that you can attend for some free Halloween fun. Check with your local churches, community centers, schools, museums, parks, and local businesses for offerings. You can also find events in your local newspaper and on the Facebook pages of local organizations. Often there will be several low-cost ways to celebrate Halloween.

8. Shop on November 1st for next year.

Once Halloween is over, many stores will be clearing out anything that didn’t sell. Now is the time to stock up on all the clearance items for next year. You can get discounts of up to 90%!!

Halloween Receipt

9. Ask for price adjustments & save receipts.

Keep your receipts and if the price drops within a month+- of your purchase, many stores will give you the lower price. Since some stores have special rules on holiday items, they may not offer this on some items. But, it never hurts to ask! Sometimes stores won’t do price adjustments but will have you return and repurchase the item at the lower price. You don’t have to wait until Black Friday to shop! Starting on Oct. 6 if you purchase an item in-store or online on or before Dec. 24 and the price drops any lower at Target, you can request a price adjustment on your purchase. For a list of stores with price match or price adjustment policies visit Real Sophisticated Consumer.

10. Check local deal sites.

Ghost tours, haunted houses, and corn mazes can be expensive so check your local deal websites such as Groupon for discounted tickets to local events.

11. Decorate with items you have on hand.

Just like making spooky food from items that you already have, you can many Halloween decorations quickly and cheaply with items that are lying around your home. Make a giant yard spider out of black garbage bags, cobwebs from cotton balls, and tombstones from cardboard. Simply lighting a candle can add a perfect eerie glow and pouring your seasonal orange and yellow packaged candies (or M&Ms, candy corn, or jelly beans) into glass containers will add a pop of Halloween color to your home.

Pumpkins For Sale

12. Wait to purchase your pumpkin.

Many stores sell pumpkins at deep discounts right before Halloween to clear out excess inventory before the big post-Halloween demand drop. By holding off until Halloween or a few days before to buy pumpkins your pumpkins, you could save some money. By carving the pumpkins on Halloween instead of earlier in the season when the pumpkins are more prone to rot, your jack-o-lantern will look its best for partygoers and trick-or-treaters. You could also use uncarved pumpkins for Thanksgiving decorations.

13. Avoid Halloween Pop-Up Shops

Pop-up shops and Halloween-themed stores are only open a few months each year and tend to be pretty expensive. After all, these places need to make a year’s revenue in just a few short months.

How you can Save Money on Halloween

I hope these simple, but effective tips help you keep your budget intact. You don’t have to sacrifice a lot to have a budget-friendly Halloween. You just need to be resourceful and creative. By making a few simple changes you can save on your fun-filled Halloween!

30 Best Cozy Winter Gifts

November 28, 2019 By Paula 4 Comments

Stay Warm With These Cozy Winter Gifts!

30 Best Cozy Winter Gifts

As the days grow shorter and we wake to frost on the lawns, summer is but a distant memory. Unfortunately for cold people everywhere, winter is here. But so are the holidays, which means there are lots of opportunities to give and receive some of these awesome cozy gifts. If you are looking for the perfect winter gift to keep the recipient warm and cozy, consider these items that will warm both their heart and body. We compiled a list of winter gifts that they’ll love. These cozy gifts will keep them warm and cozy all winter long.

From a heated doghouse or cat bed to foot warmers and electric gloves, battery heated merchandise makes great gifts. Are your feet always cold? Or are you the recipient of the sneak attack under the covers? I know my hubby braces himself each night as I slide my feet, which resemble popsicles, up against him. A pair of battery heated socks would be a gift that both of us would enjoy. Do you have someone on your list who works outside? How about a teen who has to wait at the bus stop? Even grandma would love a little extra help staying warm. What better way for them to do it than Cozy Winter clothes!

A pair of heated gloves would make waiting at the bus stop on the cold winter mornings easier. Of course, when it’s cold outside, you never want to get caught without a Zippo hand warmer in your pocket. And, of course, whether you’re hiking snow-covered trails or trudging across an icy parking lot warm and dry feet make the trek more enjoyable. There are some very stylish boots for men, women, and children that will keep your toes toasty even on the coldest days. I really love the Electric Heated Boots made by Columbia. 

A heated plush throw is a great gift to help ward off the chill as you watch tv or curl up with a book. For the person who has everything, Aunt Marty’s Nose Warmers are sure to bring a smile to their face. And, don’t forget grandpa or your twenty-something motorcycle-riding son… a heated vest will help keep their core warm.

How To Host a Baby Shower on a Budget

How To Host a Baby Shower on a Small Budget - Money saving tips to help you plan a baby shower. Baby in a Basket #BabyShower #Budget #Baby #Party

Baby Shower on a Budget

Make it beautiful without breaking the bank!

Along with the honor of hosting your friend or loved one’s baby shower also comes the stress of paying for it. To help you and your loved ones can celebrate the miracle of life without going broke we’ve come up with some ingenious ways that you can cut back on the cost without looking like you’re cutting corners.

Yes, you can get it all done, from setting a date, sending out invitations, and finding a venue to decorating, planning the menu, organizing games, and shopping for the prizes and party favors without ending up in the poor house.

Location: The average cost of the venue is 5 percent of your overall budget. So, instead of hosting the event at a restaurant or club, consider having the baby shower at your home or at another relative or friend’s home. Also, holding the party in a public space like a park, community center, or church hall can be an inexpensive option. If hosting in a public space, make sure to check on whether the location requires a permit. You’ll also need to put a rain plan in place if you choose an outdoor venue. When choosing your venue consider whether or not you will need to rent furniture. If you need to, that can take another 5% of your budget. You can save by not having this cost if you are hosting the shower in a home or someplace that has tables and seating already there.

Invitations & Stationery: At an average cost of 10 percent of the overall budget, here is a great chance for you to save money by sending invitations online. Depending on the number of people you can send invitations through email or text message or use an online service like Paperless Post, Evite, or MyPunchbowl. Plus, guests will appreciate the ease of RSVPing via email, and you’ll feel good about saving money and trees. If mom-to-be’s grandma and great auntie are attending, you might want to personally invite them. And, by all means, include the menfolk! Invite the dad-to-be, his friends, and the husbands of your lady guests.

Instead of a guest book, cut out dozens of stars from heavy card stock. Ask guests to pen their well wishes to baby. Later, paste the stars into a baby book under the heading “A Star Is Born.” Or use raindrops and paste them with the heading “Showered With Love.” You could also take a sonogram or Mom-to-be picture and have the guests sign the mat around it.

Also, a great alternative to a guest book is an advice jar. Each guest writes down advice for the new mom and slips the paper in a jar. The recipient can frame the advice or store the jar as a keepsake in the nursery instead of having a book that sits in a closet just gathering dust.

Another great idea to do during the shower is to take some river stones and let your guests leave their wishes and words of wisdom on them. Then pop the blessing stones into a glass vase so the mom-to-be can display their beautiful words.

Decorations: Once again, these take up on average 5% (10% if you include flowers) of the total budget. Buying in bulk is one way to save. Compare online warehouse prices to those at your local store. You can also find big savings by using latex balloons instead of Mylar — a balloon bouquet with dozens of latex balloons will make a big statement. Be sure to check out the Dollar Tree, both online and your local neighborhood one,  both are a great place to get decorations, party favors, dishes, and cups inexpensively. You can also find some great baby shower ideas on their website. 

Just be sure to choose a color scheme to tie everything together. Without one, DIY or dollar store decorations can sometimes not only look disjointed or uncoordinated but also cheap.

While you are decorating, set a few disposable cameras around for guests to capture memories of the shower for the mom-to-be.

Have fun with a themed party! Anything goes from Winnie the Pooh to Taco about a Baby Shower can all be done on a limited budget. For a woodland or flower theme, look to your local farmer’s market or you could make paper flower arrangements. Just remember no matter how extravagant or simple the baby shower, what people will remember will be the funny moments and activities that they took part in to make the day special and memorable for the expectant mom.

Party Favors: Look around your house! You’d be surprised how many shower gifts you already have. You can also create memory coasters for every guest at your shower can take home. To create a personalized coaster to remind them of your incredible party, trace and cut hearts, raindrops, or stars from a piece of craft leather and write each guest’s name on one with a paint pen.

You can also send each guest home with a cute cookie, cupcake, or mini cake. An inexpensive way to make mini cakes is g use a cookie cutter to cut out mini cakes from a large sheet cake. Check out these cute mini flower cakes that are dipped in white chocolate and rainbow sprinkles. There are also hundreds of ideas on Pinterest for inexpensive yet super adorable party favors. I have some of my favorites pinned on my Parties and Games board. One of them is a candle with this verse, “Burn this tea light on the night, once the stork has made his flight. With a flicker of the flame, please say a prayer in baby’s name.”

Food and Drink: With food and drink accounting for 40% of most budgets with a little bit of creativity this is a great place to save big. Skip the caterers and hired help. Even without any cooking experience, you can create a fun spread for everyone. Get Cooking! From baby poo meatballs and newborn baby deviled eggs to tea sandwiches and punches with cute little yellow ducklings floating in it you can do it. When it comes to party food Pinterest is your friend. There are literally thousands of pins dedicated to the topic. Some of my favorites are the healthiest and easiest ones to do. With your shopping list in hand, head to your local discount grocery store for ingredients. On the day of the shower, set up a buffet and let guests serve themselves.

When it comes to desserts this is a great time to enlist family and friends to help. Do you have someone that makes something special every holiday or is grandma’s cake the best you’ve ever tasted? Ask them to make one or bring a few batches. Another option is to set up a DIY decorating station and provide prebaked plain cupcakes and/or cookies, frosting, and topping options.

Entertainment, Games, and Prizes: No need for a DJ or anything elaborate. Just make a playlist that will appeal to the guests and turn on your iPod. This is where you can really get creative and have a lot of fun for very little money.  Once again look around your home for prizes. Think plants, unused beauty products, purse or wallet, earbuds, candles, etc. Even the party centerpiece could be a prize! Anything that will motivate guests to put some effort in when participating in the games will work.

After your guests have arrived and had a chance to mingle a bit, it’s time for games. Forget the paper and pencil games and go for fun minute to win it games like using a bulb nasal aspirator to put mini marshmallows in a baby bottle or diapering the cabbage patch baby blindfolded. Also, hearing one of your guests shout my water broke when their baby is free of the ice cube first is always good for a laugh. Another fun idea is to ask each guest for a baby picture. Display the baby pictures and have guests guess who’s who. Whoever gets the most right wins.

Don’t go overboard and have too many games. A good rule of thumb is to have 3 or 4 and for them to take only 25% of the total party time. So if you are doing a two-hour party, games should only last 30 minutes. Balance game time with activities that guests can be a part of to create a keepsake for the new mom.

Even if you aren’t Martha Stewart or an Iron Chef, you can still have a fabulous yet inexpensive baby shower. You just need to know where to go (Pinterest, Lidl, Aldi, Costo, Dollar Tree, The Dollar Store, etc) and set aside enough time to prepare. While you’re planning, remember you are trying to create memories, so go for the experience of being together. Be sure to check out our checklist. It will help you stay organized as you plan a baby shower.

👩 Mom Needs A Break! 💆 Here are Four Simple Ways to Surprise the Busy Mom in Your Life 🧖🛀🏼 #Mother #GiftIdea #GiftsforHer #FoodGift #Gift #MothersDay #Birthday #Christmas

Whether they stay at home, work part-time or have a full-time job, all moms are busy. The stresses of managing life while caring for children can be overwhelming at times, and most moms agree that they could really use a break! If you’re looking for a simple yet special way to surprise an important mother in your life, here are four ideas to make their life a little easier and their day a little brighter.

Order Food Delivery

Sometimes, making dinner feels impossible at the end of a tough and tiring day. One great way to surprise a busy mom is by using a food delivery service, such as Foodora, to have a fresh, hot meal sent right to their front door. Food delivery allows you to provide a tasty dinner without having to make or deliver it yourself. Be sure to order enough for everyone in the family, and take note of any allergies or special dietary needs.

Pay for a Sitter

All moms need some time to themselves, whether it’s to catch up on appointment, relax and unwind or simply grocery shop on their own. Hire a babysitter for a few hours to give her the alone time she desperately needs. Be sure to make payment arrangements ahead of time.

Hire a Maid for the Day

Cleaning is a constant task for mothers, from laundry to dishes to sweeping the floors. Most moms would welcome a break from the mess, as well as the cleaning. Hiring a maid for a few hours can give her the chance to use that time for something she enjoys, all while still getting the house clean. Be sure to ask for a list of what would help her the most so that you can prioritize according to the amount of time you have scheduled.

Schedule an In-Home Massage

Many moms put themselves last and neglect to care for their bodies and minds like they need to. While a trip to the spa could be a welcome respite, scheduling a sitter to watch the kids could be a problem. If that’s the case, schedule an in-home massage from a trustworthy company so she can enjoy a professional treatment at home while the kids are asleep.
