Great ideas!

It won’t help until next year, but I like to buy the reusable pumpkins when the stores put them on clearance and keep them for carving the next year.

A no sew cheap cape can be made from a flat sheet. Make sure to get one with a folded over edge then use a piece of soft rope (you can use pretty soft edging too) to push through the folded edge. Tie at neck and voila! DO be careful of having someone step on the back of the cape b/c the wearer can easily be choked. You can simply cut to size, or hem (ending the no sew bit) so that it can be let out in later years.

The day after Halloween is a good day to stop by stores that have Halloween displays. Last year I got bales of hay (for this year’s potatoes) for free at the nursery.

Thanks for the tips! I’m planning my first ever halloween — kids are finally old enough, and we are in a bit of a tight financial spot. I’m gonna try the window decor idea.

PS: I saw pretty cheap costumes in Walmart too, but don’t know if they have them online.
