I’ll admit that Halloween is not my favorite holiday, and it’s not because I’m some overzealous Christian who thinks it’s the “Devil’s Holiday”. I am a man of faith, but Halloween ticks me off more from a financial perspective. Along with Valentine’s Day, it has become one of the most commercialized non-holidays that have no meaning. I understand that the kids have a good time with it, and it’s fun for them, but when you take a step back and really look at Halloween, it really is pointless to spend a bunch of money on it. With Halloween parties, costumes for the kids, house decorations, and all of the crap that schools make you buy for arts and crafts time, Halloween can get really expensive. (more…)

However, with household budgets tightening up due to economic and employment pressures, saving money with creative corner-cutting can turn your Halloween finance horrors into a night of frugal fun. (more…)

Well, Halloween is almost here. For me, at least, Halloween marks the beginning of the most expensive time of the year: “The Holiday Season”. But this year, I am going to try to plan ahead, and with the help of the Internet, hopefully save some money, or at least spend less than usual. I have found some great sites that might help you save money as well this Halloween.

COSTUMES
One mistake I make almost every year is waiting until the last minute to buy costumes for my sons. You would think I would learn, but last year I ran down to the local grocery store the night before Halloween to buy my middle son’s costume. Of course, the only costumes left cost at least $20, and they were cheap plastic. Now, this year, I have already planned ahead a bit.

1. Discount Candy. Amazon is offering $15 off orders of Nestle and Hershey products of $39 or more. Add in a cheap filler to get the order to $25 and you’ll get free shipping. If having candy in the house is too much temptation for you to graze on the leftovers, buy a candy that you don’t like!
