My neighbor wants to have a street party at Halloween and I don't think I can wriggle out of it. I need ideas for a cheap homemade dish and a costume for me and hubby please. I have time to make us them and would want to do that rather than spend the money. The easier the better both for the food and the outfits.
 
I'll be plopping a lampshade on my head and you will all have my sucky costume on your conscience if you don't help me. Remember that. :P

Kay, can you resist this ladies Star Trek costume for only $15? Reduced from $25.
You can go as a Star Trek couple. Here's the male version. $12 reduced from $20.
It comes in Red  and Gold. That's not bad for the two of you.
 
I'm in amongst the clearance. Want to be a disco diva for $10? Reduced from $17. You couldn't make a costume for that. Includes the dress, hat and boot tops. There's a flower power one too.
 
Men's costumes are from $3! This is the list sorted from low to high prices

The Michael Jackson jacket is cool. Half price!

Did you like any of those, Kay?



When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a rose with the other.

I did, bringmeroses. Unfortunately the ladies costumes are out of stock and I loved the Star Trek outfit. I'll check it out in the store to see what if it's there. Failing that, the plastic surgery one is downright creepy. $5! :)

Have everyone in stitches! Besides yourself in this Plastic Surgery jumpsuit and Mask. Print includes all the marks a person would get before going under the knife.

    * Includes: jumpsuit, mask
    * Not included: slippers
    * Available in Adult Sizes
    * Size Chart will vary by costume.

Thanks for the ideas! I'll keep looking. And I'm still on the hunt for food too. :)

That plastic surgery costume is gross. Doesn't anyone go as a witch or a cowboy anymore? I guess they are too old fashioned.
