View Date:2024-12-23 23:11:30
Halloween is all about the spooks and scares, but it doesn't have to be scary for your wallet.
With the holiday less than 50 days away, hardcore fans have already started stocking up on this year's new costumes and decor. Whether you're more of a killer clown collector, a lover of the cutesy and creepy, an animatronic aficionado or a costume connoisseur looking forward to jumping on this year's latest trends, shoppers are spoiled for choices with all of the Halloween lines already out at stores.
A tight budget, however, can put a damper on the fun of decking out your home for the holiday. Luckily, you don't have to break the bank to set a spooky atmosphere or put together a creative costume.
