Halloween Costumes on the Cheap

With Halloween swiftly approaching, we must now all begin thinking about our Halloween costumes. But if you're a little tight on money and don't think you can afford a proper costume this year, don't worry. Today, I have a few suggestions for cheap costumes that you can make at home.

• We've all done the bed sheet ghost before, but you know that same bed sheet also makes the prefect toga, superhero cape, Princess Leia dress, or giant baby diaper.
  
  
• By wrapping yourself from head to toe in aluminum foil you can create an excellent robot, satellite, or leftover mystery meat costume.
  
  
• With a simple trench coat, you can easily costume yourself as a journalist, police inspector, or flasher.
  
  
• If you're going out trick-or-treating with the kids, cover your mattress with a yellow sheet, strap the thing to your back, and call yourself Sponge Bob.
  
  
• And if all else fails - go outside, collect a couple of large leaves, and go as Adam and Eve. Can't get much cheaper than that, now can you?

I hope these tips have helped. And good luck with your Halloween costume!
