Whether you are a parent looking to outfit your kid for Halloween or if you are an adult who wants an awesome costume for a Halloween party, expect to spend a pretty penny.  If you don’t have that extra money to spend, I recommended Craigslist.  You might be surprised how many unique costumes you can find at an affordable price.

So, how can you find these costumes?

To get started, visit Craigslist.org.  Choose your location by selecting your state and nearest city.  Over on the left-hand side of the page, you will see a search box.  Your searches are automatically set to search “for sale” items.  All you need to do is enter in a search phrase.  For the best results, use nothing more than the words “Halloween” or “costume.”

After submitting your search, you will see a list of headlines.  Most sellers are descriptive here, meaning you should be able to tell right away whether the costume is for a baby, toddler, child, teenager, or adult.  You should also get some idea what the costume is about, like Mickey Mouse or a cheerleader.

Once you find a costume (based on the headline) you think you’d like, click for more information.  Inside, you should see a picture, a brief description of the costume’s condition, and a method of contact.  If you like what you see, use the provided phone number or email address.  Around this time, cheap Halloween costumes are in high demand, so you want to act quick.

For the most part, buying Halloween costumes from Craigslist is a great way to save money.  Not only that, you are likely to find some like-new costumes.  Think about it, most people (especially children) wear a costume once.  The only wear and tear you may notice is some slight discoloring or fading from a couple of washes.

In short, not only can you find cheap Halloween costumes on Craigslist, but you can find unique costumes too.  If unique is what you are looking for, that woman who came across her Halloween costume from 15 years ago and listed it on Craigslist may have just what you need!

Note:  When looking for unique, hard-to-find, or vintage Halloween costumes, your best option is to use a Craigslist search tool.  These search apps let you search multiple locations with one search.  For a unique, hard-to-find, or vintage costume, you may need to drive an hour or two for pickup or arrange for the seller to ship the costume to your home.

Cheap? $13.01 In most developed countries, in almost every trade sector, prices have decreased considerably over the last few years – in some cases by more than 20 per cent. The choice of products on offer is immense, and customers are inundated with a vast range of goods costing very little money. In this powerful account of society’’s greedy over-consumption, David Bosshart paints a bleak picture of our increasing obsession with cheap goods. He exposes the darker side of some of our favorite organizations such as Wal-Mart, McDonald’’s, and Disney and reveals some substantial paradoxes in their business strategies. David Bosshart asks us to question our pursuit of unbridled consumer choice and low prices and to consider the effect this pursuit is having on the world’’s economies and societies.
