It's frightening how quickly all of the Halloween "essentials" can add up every year. From the perfect costume for your kiddos to decorating the house in all of the ghost and ghoulish figures you can find, it often feels like you're spending way more than you planned to. Rather than paying a big price for a costume that you know your kid likely isn't going to want to repeat (or even wear for that long!), consider a budget-friendly alternative that doesn't compromise on cuteness.
