This October, teach kids the importance of reusing & recycling by making their Halloween costumes out of everyday household goods! Or for those whose creative pipes need a little tuning, take a look at the following discount kids Halloween costumes at BuyCostumes. I’ve also provided some great ideas to reuse and revamp them or ways to try and make them yourself – if you dare…

This Halloween when you spend over $50 on discount kids’ Halloween costumes, you save 10%! So shop with BuyCostumes coupons to find these cost-friendly, reusable costumes & many more:

Harry Potter/Gryffindor Student - Purchase the officially licensed Harry Potter robe and accessorize with things around the home such as toy owls & eye-glasses. Why not give making your own wand a whirl? To reuse the robe for another costume, simply cover the Hogwarts emblem!

Egyptian Mummy – There are tons of variations to choose from for both guys & gals on the BuyCostumes website. Feelin’ creative? Take some old bed sheets or a table cloth and shred them length wise. Dye the stripped pieces in some tea, and voila! Reprocessed bandages ready to ‘wrap’ & roll!

Michael Jackson – Reuse old jackets by decorating them with sequins & tassels, then accessorize! Browse BuyCostumes for a selection of Jacko hats, wigs, gloves & other accessories. Hee-hee!

Cryptic Rocker Child - This rockin’ unisex outfit can be shared between siblings over the years. (Is it me, or does this costume resemble Slash from “Guns ‘n’ Roses” in 20 years? Just sayin’.)

Indiana Jones - The individual pieces that make up this costume can be worn together, or separately re-worn with different costumes.

SpongeBob SquarePants – If you’ve got any old large boxes kicking around to recycle, simply cut a hole for the head and legs to create the “body”. Step two: get painting to bring to life everyone’s favorite sponge!

See? Tons of ways to reuse, recycle and re-vamp Halloween Costumes. Plus with the number of childrens discount Halloween costumes at BuyCostumes, you don’t have to spend a fortune to do it. So this year when you get spoooooky, get recycling too!

When October 31st rolls around, it’s time to have a little fun. Yet hunting for that discount Halloween costume for plus size figures can be anything but. Have no fear! Make this Halloween fun and affordable with these coupons towards plus size discount costumes:

• BuyCostumes Coupons - get 10% off $50 on witches, vampires, Coffin Bride & zombies

Spooky

(Insert cackle here.) In the true vein of the season, sometimes it’s fun to dress up in a scary costume. At BuyCostumes, check out some of the frightfully scary costumes including ghosts, ghouls, gore and the scariest of all…clowns (at least in my opinion)! For effect, BuyCostumes has creepy effects like fangs and spider web eyelashes.

Sultry

When deciding on a discount Halloween costume in plus size, find one that not only fits, but flatters your body too. Start by looking in your closet for that saucy evening dress and sass it up with a few props. Add some horns to a red dress and you’re a sexy devil. Thrift stores are great for guys. Check out the uniforms section for doctor scrubs or get a plaid shirt and western hat for that rugged cowboy look.

Slapstick

Kids love dressing up in silly costumes. When I was little, most of my costumes were on the scary side, but my favorite costume was a furry pink Ewok. Here are some great plus size discount costumes from BuyCostumes the kids will remember for years to come:

• Little Bo Peep – pink dress complete with staff
• Kim Possible – save the world in this outfit from the cartoon
• Captain America – full costume with added muscles

No matter whether you’re going trick or treating or heading out for an evening of fun, check out these sassy and silly costumes for a perfect fit.

There’s nothing like swashbuckling swagger to grapple more attention than the plank attracts sharks. This Halloween, take up the plastic cutlass to steal hearts (and chocolate doubloons) with pirate costumes! Coupons loosen the shopkeep’s grip on your purse strings, so pull the trigger on orders now.

Damsels of the Deep

Sailors are powerless against your siren’s song when you’re wearing a sexy discount ladies pirate costume.  Shop with BuyCostumes coupons to get $10 off $50 or more!  When you save that much, you can afford to stock Lady Jones’ closet with:

• Vixen Pirate - Flared skirt with peasant top & available in plus sizes
• Two if by Sea – Reversible stretch dress gives you red & black options
• She Captain – Add boots & a hat to these black captain’s jacket & pants

Calling the Masters & Commanders

The lasses love discount pirate costumes from BuyCostumes – they’re all you need to be dashing enough to demote Depp to first mate.  Order with pirate costumes coupons and captain the party while wearing:

• Rustic Pirate – Classic pirate look with eye patch, gauze shirt, bandana & sash
• Cap’n Cutthroat - Full costume with gold brocade vest & long blue coat
• Barnacle Bill - Weathered canvas coat & shirt with false bones for a zombie-pirate look

For the Captain Kidds

Let the little ones join your crew with discount pirate costumes for kids.  If your boys love the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, then pick out a Jack Sparrow or Davy Jones costume.  And for the girls, pirate maiden outfits are available for toddlers all the way to tweens.

Make sure to order that discount ladies pirate costume now so you’re prepared to take the next Halloween party by storm.  Put the money you save with pirate costumes coupons toward enough candy to make Blackbeard green with envy.

At FabulousSavings.com, we have a bunch of great parents with an eye for kids’ style, especially when it comes to adorable Halloween costumes. Since we have a 10% off BuyCostumes coupon (good for when you spend $50 or more), we couldn’t help but present our top 10 cute baby Halloween costumes list!

1. Future Golfer
   Since I’m submitting this blog, I took it upon myself to pick the #1 baby costume. Tell me this isn’t a winner. Argyle, plaid, high socks, a beret.. remember, it’s the details that make the costume. That peanut hasn’t got anything on Tiger, Tiger Woods, y’all.
2. Garden Gnome – Girls & Boys
   Good costumes are always rich in detail. In the case of these garden gnome costumes, the shoes definitely make the difference. We couldn’t pick between the Flower Garden Gnome and the boys’ Garden Gnome, so you get both, tied at #2.
3. Peanut
   OK, how could this peanut costume not make the list? It’s amazing how a simple foam peanut shell one-piece can be so cute. This costume is good to have as a last-minute back-up in case you come home from work before your Halloween party, only to discover baby has spit up all over his Future Golfer costume (see #1, you won’t be sorry).
4. Baby Blossom
   This girly flower costume made us all smile, so it made a respectable #4 position. All this blossom/blooming talk has me hungry for a Blooming Onion. Anyone else?
5. Yo Gabba Gabba DJ Lance
   The hip(ster) moms and dads of the office insisted on this one. After all, Yo Gabba Gabba! the show was nominated for an Emmy in Costume Design/Styling in 2008. This officially licensed Yo Gabba Gabba! costume can be paired with Foofa, Plex and Brobee.
6. Blue Bunny Infant Costume
   Here’s another sweet costume for baby boys. Your costume better include sunglasses because camera flashes will be going wild. Frugal tip: Revisit this costume around Easter time to make hearts jump.
7. Rock-A-Bye Baby
   Baby fits snugly into this, the king of all jumpsuits. Again, the headpiece is the obvious stand-out accessory, but did Elvis have a mohawk? No matter – it’ll look better on baby anyway. Mohawks always do.
8. Lamb
   This infant/toddler lamb costume is too sweet for words, but here are some anyway: Soft. Cozy. Contest Winning, perhaps? Note: Wearing shoes is advised.
9. Little Spock
   Star Trek was the hit of the summer, and now your little one can look like his favorite Vulcan… or that dude from Hereos. The best feature of this officially licensed Star Trek costume has to be the sideburn headpiece. Leonard Nimoy, eat your heart out.
10. Lil Bo Peep
    Our staff loves this sweet costume for toddler girls. It’s perfect for big sis when combined with #6: the Lamb. Frugal tip: Pair the dress with a tiara for next year’s Princess costume.

So, moment of truth: would you dress your child in any of our picks? Have you found a kids’ costume you like better? We’d love to see! Leave a comment with an image or description and why you love it.

As the leaves start to change, so begins the time for witches, ghosts and goblins. Get into the Halloween spirit and make your own spooktacular haunted house with these easy tips on how to make your own Halloween decorations.

For the Crafty Types

Turn your yard into a masterpiece with a little imagination. Hit up Halloween decor sales to get basics such as creepy music, plastic spiders and candles for ambience. Also, don’t forget construction paper, glue and cotton baton.

Spider webs turn any room or porch into an instant creep-fest, and they’re easy enough that the kids can help. Stretch the cotton into thin, long strands. For the best results, throw in some plastic spiders. Creepy!

No porch is complete without a carved jack-o-lantern! Get creative with your pumpkin this year and try carving with different tools. Don’t forget to plant the seeds in the garden for cheap pumpkins next year.

For the front porch, make a dummy using old clothes and a mask stuffed with newspaper. The fun is watching trick-or-treaters wonder if this spooky chap is real or not.

Not Crafty? No Problem!
