How to Save: On Halloween Costumes (and win $50)

At Sierra Trading Post, we’re all about getting a great deal. We prefer our purchases to be 35-70% off.

But we don’t just save on outdoor gear, footwear and apparel. We also like to save in other areas.

Because Halloween is right around the corner, and we like affordable Halloween costumes, we’ve got two great tips this week about How To Save: On Halloween Costumes.

1. Visit Goodwill, The Salvation Army or other thrift stores to score cheap Halloween costumes or affordable Halloween costume ingredients like clothing, wigs, shoes, accessories and more.

2. Homemade Halloween costumes can save you money and provide a fun project for you and your family. There are plenty of items around the house you can use – you’d be amazed what you can do with a cardboard box!
