Frugal Halloween Ideas
Don’t go broke buying over sized bags of Halloween candy this year. Granted, if you don’t have the “good” candy the kids will not want it and it will be a waste anyway. Given that they really don’t need the sugar, why not try a goody bag mixed with popular candy (not from the dollar store. Sorry, but frugality spares quality here.) and small toys, stickers, and cool school supplies from the dollar store. (Check out this list of frugal toys and other great items for the goody bags.)
Buy a package of paper lunch bags, fill them with a little candy and toys and tie them with orange and black ribbon or yarn. Plastic sandwich or snack bags work well, too, if you have a lot of trick or treaters and need to use smaller amounts of candy and toys.
