Cheap Kids Halloween Costumes Ideas

Costumes Under $10.00
One of the things kids like most about Halloween, besides the candy, is the chance to dress up.  If your family is on a budget, you may not want to spend much for a costume your child will only wear once.  Here are some Halloween costumes for under $10.00 that your child, and your budget, might like.

If you have a good idea what size your child will wear next year, hitting the costume sales at the end of the season is a great way to pay less than $10.00 for a ready-made Halloween costume.  Of course, you’ll have a limited selection to choose from, but you will probably be able to buy several for the same amount and could actually mix and match them to create an entirely new costume.[ad]

You can also find costumes or elements of costumes – capes, masks, or make-up – online at various costume vendors.  You may even be able to find the perfect costume for a very reasonable price, including shipping charges.  Check around online and see what you can find in your price range.

Knights are always a costume of choice among little boys.  Head over to your local dollar store and you’ll probably be able to find a shield, sword, or a hook.  You may also be able to find items so your child can dress up like a cowboy. 

Dollar stores will have dress-up clothes for your little girls, too.  High-heeled shoes, party purses, and dresses are items your little princess will enjoy.  Include a touch of make-up to make her feel special.

Is there a costume store near you?  If there is, they may have great costumes that you can rent for $10.00 or under.  If you can’t find what you want, you may be able to get some ideas for costumes you can make that will keep you within your budget.

Dress your favorite boy in a flannel shirt, blue jeans, and a life jacket to let the world know he’s a little fisherman.  Have him don a floppy hat with lures attached, and create a cardboard fish that you can put on a fishing pole.  He’ll have fun and you probably have everything you need at home.

Hannah Montana is so big right now with little girls.  While you might be able to dress up your daughter to look like Hannah, it would probably cost more than $10.00.  Instead of Hannah, you can still dress her like a rock star.  Use tights with sequins, a blue jean skirt, high heels, and spiky hair.

Halloween costumes aren’t usually used more than once, so spending much on them is frustrating.  But, you can find costumes under $10.00 if you look around.  Take some time now to start planning and you may find the perfect costume without breaking your budget.
