With Halloween coming up soon, many people are putting together last minute costumes. However, some people don’t have the funds to put together crazy outfits, but they still want to participate in the festivities. If you are personally having this problem—read on to discover what costumes won’t break your bank.
#1- Mummy
An easy classic—all you need for this costume is an all white outfit and some toilet paper. Grab a friend and have them wrap you up; then, slap some tape over the tp to make sure it sticks. A single roll of toilet paper is priced around the $1 mark, so this costume is definitely budget friendly.
#2- Kim Possible
Kim Possible is a beloved cartoon character, a super easy Halloween costume and you probably have all the pieces in your closet already. All you need is green pants and a black shirt. If you want to go the extra mile, line your top lip with a dark red lip liner to give yourself the classic Kim Possible-look.
#3- House Pets
This may be boring, but if you’re balling on a budget, sometimes boring is better than nothing. This costume is super easy to do—all you need to do is wear a solid color such as black, brown or grey and get a pair of dog or cat ears which are around $3-5. As basic as it is, it’s still cute and frugal.
#4- A Lumberjack
Now this one may be the best on this list. All you need is some type of flannel and jeans, which should already be in your closet. If you really want to amp up the lumberjack vibe, grab an ax (at your caution) or a piece of wood from the forest. Lastly, draw on a mustache, and you are all set.
#5- Jesus
If you really want to impress people with your creativity, dressing up as Jesus will surely win you that. All you need is a blanket to drape across yourself to look like a toga, some sandals and a drawn on beard. If you have long hair this is the perfect opportunity to let it flow.
