This week we're going to focus on frugal decorations for this lovely holiday that is upon us. Halloween is NOT one of my favorite holidays by any means. In fact, I think even my own kids (7 & 11) are quickly deciding it's just not as fun as it used to be. However, the crafting and decorating that leads up to the infamous night, can be fun, and frugal! I'll show you how this week!
Ok, there are two great FRUGAL Halloween tips found below. I use both of these! And you'll be happy if you try them too!
Remember running out the door on the 26th of December, and shopping because all the Christmas decorations are on sale!! Sometimes 75% off! Put some of that Christmas savings savvy to work and wait until after Halloween to stock up on pumpkin scented candles and black and orange plastic table cloths, or whatever else your heart desires. By far the cheapest way to buy decorations and costumes that will last year after year is to do it the day after Halloween!
Some decorations, and I use these frequently, aren't so Halloween specific that you can't use them any other time. Scarecrows, miniature bales of 'hay', and pumpkins are some that will be just as welcome the day after Halloween as the day before. The colors of autumn, orange, gold, reds and browns - speak for Halloween and the season, stretching right through Thanksgiving. Colorful leaves, real or otherwise, can decorate a table, a walkway, or an entire room, as can scarves, or random accessories, in fall colors.
Utilize these two tricks, and you'll be glad!
