It’s October. Halloween is coming! If you’re keen on celebrating Halloween, especially just for fun, here are 10 tips on how to do it on a budget:

This means you set a limit on how much money to spend on decorations, costumes, food, and gifts.
2. Choose the Theme
There are plenty of themes you can choose from: from the classic ones like vampires and draculas, to the modern ones like Harry Potter and The Addams Family. The better you focus, the better you can decide which one to have and worth spending.

7. Buy In Bulk
This is especially important for those who live in the neighbourhood with a lot of kids doing treats or tricks. Buying candies in bulk is much cheaper than buying them in small packages.
8. Choose Candies Instead of Chocolates
Depends on how you want to enjoy your sweets, candies are generally cheaper than chocolates.
9. See if There Are Free Halloween Events From Your Local Government
By participating in the free event, you’re unlikely to stay at home. This means you don’t host any Halloween parties, no worries about decorations, cakes and other food. You only focus on the costumes and candies (if you must give some).
10. Plan For the Next Year
After Halloween, stores usually want to get rid of their Halloween items as soon as possible by putting them on sale, much cheaper than before the event. Use this opportunity to stock up.
