This Halloween

2. It’s almost Halloween but
are you ready for the
expenses?

3. Here are some practical
ways for you to save your
budget this Halloween
season.

4. 1. Spend less on costumes
• Consider swapping costume with other parents in
your child’s school.
• Kids usually don’t want to wear the same costume
from last year so by switching outfits, both of you can
save your budget.

5. 2. Buy in bulk
• Halloween can pass by without candies and treats.
• Buying in bulk is always cheaper and when it comes to
Halloween, you can buy candies in large bulks to save
money.
• Again, you can get in touch with other parents in your
child’s school so you can buy more and enjoy a bigger
discount.

6. 3. Buy earlier
• It’s far cheaper to buy Halloween decorations right
after the season is through.
• Look for items that you can keep and last until the next
year.
•If you’re going to wait until the later part of the year, it
is most likely that the items will be more expensive.

7. 4. Make your own decorations.
• You do not necessarily need to buy decorations to make
your home look scary.
• You can search the internet for ideas on how to make
crafts for the Halloween.
• Buying art materials is far cheaper than buying readily-made
decorations.

8. 5. Plan the Halloween party
• If you plan early, you can save a great deal from party
expenses such as decorations, food, lights, etc.
• You can even recycle or re-use the same decorations that
you used last year.
• Choose dishes that make use of ingredients that are in
season and find out the best places to buy food items
where you live.

9. 6. Set a definite budget.
• Don’t be tempted to spend so much on one Halloween
costume or decoration.
• Be practical and always consider your budget for the
coming months when the scare-season is over.
