We are going to do a family theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-331834 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:44:29 +0000 purrpletulips 331834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent $3 for DD's costume at a neighbor's garage sale this past weekend. I hope to not spend much more on DS' but then I'm considering getting him one of those snowsuits that look like a bear and having him be that for Halloween since he'll only be 7w. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-331807 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:29:51 +0000 heffalump 331807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kakimochi: I almost bought a carebear costume 3 sizes too big for my LO at a consignment store just because it was so cheap and I love the carebears! But I talked myself out of it. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean I have to have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-331791 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:20:45 +0000 kakimochi 331791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$1 for a tinkerbell costume from the thrift store. looks like it was used once. there are so many costumes (princess, animals, super heroes, etc) at the thrift store for just a few bucks, some with tags still on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-331533 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:01:37 +0000 betsyboop 331533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$18 on rue la la. I've become an online shopping addict. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-331342 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:22:51 +0000 winniebee 331342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@krsmall: Aww. A cow is a really cute costume though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-331339 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:22:30 +0000 winniebee 331339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turns out my gift card was for $30 so I only ended up spending $10. Woot!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-330388 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:38:37 +0000 bushelandapeck 330388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, this totally made me remember we have a PB gift card too! I've been eying the costumes but just couldn't justify the cost. I think I'm reconsidering it now though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-330245 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:23:42 +0000 regberadaisy 330245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me? $0 because our good friends wanted to buy her first costume :P<br /> She's going to be a dragon and it was $39 but I know she bought it with a coupon because she's a frugalista like me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-330231 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:13:48 +0000 jennylynn 330231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 months, and we spent about 25$ for a ladybug costume. She'll only be wearing it to go see the grandparents, and for some pics. I had planned on just making some sort of easy, cute costume, but DH insisted that she needed the ladybug costume. He's such a sucker! But the pics will be cute, and it is her first Halloween :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-330229 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:13:39 +0000 heffalump 330229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought LO something that she will be able to wear again and I'm making it into a costume. So I spent $12.... but she'll get more use out of it then just one night. </p> <p>She's going to be Kermit the frog so I just had to buy her a green outfit and hat, and I'm sewing on felt details. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-329988 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:16:41 +0000 littlek 329988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL got us a cow cotume from carters. So, we paid nothing. I'm a little annoyed because it's Brennan's first halloween and I really wanted to pick out his costume. DH said I could get another costume but it's hard justifying spending money on another costume when we already have one at home. I was wanting to do the lobster costume from Pottery Barn Kidns and DH and I would chefs. Pottery Barn Kids has the cutest costumes! I love the shark one too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-329959 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:02:40 +0000 Goldilocks1107 329959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent $5 - LO is going to be a lady bug. I found the costume at a garage sale this summer. Since she'll only be 5.5 months at Halloween, and it's a size 24 month costume, I'm hoping she can wear it for 2 years (assuming her growth rate slows down!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-329885 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 10:27:27 +0000 Mrs Checkers 329885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent $26. I tried very hard to not go over $30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-329801 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:35:02 +0000 Mrs. Bee 329801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent under $25 for Olive's strawberry costume from Gymboree. And I'm going to spend another $15 for our family costumes (it's a theme). So not bad!</p> <p>Even if they are babies, the pictures are just so cute it's worth it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-329780 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:20:41 +0000 pastemoo 329780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping to home-make something for less than $5 but next year.... $25ish? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-329779 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:19:20 +0000 chopsuey 329779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent a little less than 30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-329774 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:14:56 +0000 lavender 329774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to try to stay under $25 for a costume, M is 6 mths old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-329770 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:13:52 +0000 GrapeCrush 329770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was on the fence about costumes too! my husband insisted though and we paid $25 for a dragon costume. he'll hardly be in it, and not going anywhere, but DH really wanted it. so i guess there is no harm in that! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-youwill-you-spend-on-halloween-costume#post-329754 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:02:05 +0000 winniebee 329754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think T will be a shark for halloween - PB Kids has a cute costume and it's $39 - but I have a $25 gift card - and there's free shipping today! So, $14 is a good deal for a costume, right? But the frugal part of me wonders if I should save the gift card for something we actually *need* (we don't need anything now).</p> <p>He's only going to be 5.5 months on Halloween so I'm sure he'll wear it for all of 15 minutes.... </p>
