No matter it was just for a day, but we all tend to buy the most lovely costume for the season and not many of us plan in advance for discounts. The expensive costume goes out of the closet sooner than the Halloween night and of course remorse inevitably follows, why did you spend so much on the costume when all it meant for, was an evening of delight. Some ways to save on halloween costume and recycle are:

1- Buy a used costume from gently used stores or online options

2- Buy before at least 8-9 months, so you get over 60-70% discount

3- Wear costumes from past 2-3 years and put on a different make up and hairdo, make something else form it by getting creative. Add or remove some of its accessories to be an altogether different self.

4- As a mom i would always buy 3-4 sizes plus for my kid, and same outfit say her 2 year old Wicket witch with green in shirt and makeup became purple in shirt and makeup at age 3 and red at age 5, so and so forth

5- Share costumes with your friends, kids often share among siblings, friends or cousins and it gets easier to recycle them

6- Make some more additions on costume, say for a princess outfit wear one year without tiara or wand or accessories, add wand and cape the next year, pair with wings to become an altogether innovative princess with wings and so and so forth

4- Donate:
