Figuring out what you’re going to be for Halloween<\/a> is hard enough on its own, but factors like 1.) trying to save money<\/a>, 2.) putting together a costume that doesn’t require a lot of effort, and 3.) finding pieces that I’ll be able to wear on other occasions<\/a> so I don’t feel as guilty about spending my dollars, all result in piles of stress once October rolls around.<\/p>\n If you can relate to these inner turmoils, I’m here to say, “I hear you, and don’t worry, because I’ve got your back.” After scouring the interweb for costume ideas and Amazon<\/a> for shop-worthy finds, I’ve rounded up some easy, affordable costume ideas that won’t cause your wallet to cry.<\/p>\n Each costume idea only requires you to purchase one item, and you’ll most likely be able to find the other components in your closet. These finds are also all under $30, so you won’t have to shell out the big bucks just to participate in the spooky festivities this year (seriously, why are some costumes so expensive?). Not to mention, many of these products, such as this plush robe<\/a>, this skater skirt<\/a>, and even this duct tape<\/a> can be worn or used in your everyday life, so you get the most value out of your purchase.<\/p>\n While Halloween is full of scary things, you won’t have to fear finding an easy costume that checks all the boxes, including creativity. I promise this isn’t just hocus pocus, so read on!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
