Cheap costumes

For people who don't want to break the bank this Halloween season, we can post here for ideas on really inexpensive costumes. Off hand, I can think of the ghost costume as perhaps the least expensive. All you do is take a white sheet and cut holes in it for the eyes, nose and mouth, and there you have it.

They have "instant" costumes at walmart, consisting of a tee shirt that comes with a mask or pair of cat ears. Or you get these little kits that come with cat ears and tail, or devil horns and tail etc.

I have had these two costumes for several years. One a friar and one a nun.

Both cost less than $30. Needed a few extras like the cross ( that can be used both both)

Won a prize in 2009 for the nun outfit.

You can get off of internet or at stores like Party City.

When going cheap, the old Halloween staples are the way to go: Ghost, Scarecrow, Witch, Vampire, etc. They can be compiled from clothes (or, for the ghost, sheets) found around the house or Goodwill. They can also be purchased cheaply at almost any Halloween/department store. Additionally, you can customize these character to your own personality.

Can't remember where I saw it, but I recently saw a photo of a couple kids dressed as salt and pepper shakers. Looked like the costumes were made out of cardboard.
