Since I am not a crafty person and can't sew worth a darn come October I am always searching high and low for a cute yet affordable Halloween costume for the kiddos. And cute and affordable often times don't go hand in hand when it comes to costumes.
But, we happened upon Value Village on Saturday and man did I score!
We found a frog costume, the warm, fuzzy, soft ones that you can get at Costco and it was in Hayden's size! I snatched that thing up so fast, you didn't even have time to Ribbit. Only $6.99!!!
And low and behold, we found a Minnie Mouse costume for Miss K with the headband to match! This was one from the Disney Store not the cheesy one that falls apart when you put it on. $7.98!!! We bought some black face paint so we can paint whiskers and a nose on her and she will be good to go.
We also found a Wok, in perfectly good shape. For $7.99. I have been wanting one of these but couldn't stomach spending $20.00-$30.00 for one (if not more).
And, tons of pants for Hayden. He is growing like a weed these days so I have decided that we are going to make a habit out of buying *gently* used pants so we dont' go into the poor house because of our clothing budget.
What deals have you scored recently?
Light up someone's world. Smile! WW
I love 'gently' worn clothes and I'm a big fan of secondhand clothing stores.
ReplyDeleteI rode the train once - surely you didn't expect me to do it more than that :-)
Okay, okay, I do plan to ride it again
