The pressure on parents to spend rarely stops, we're in October so more often than not means you've a Halloween party to go to or kids to dress up for Trick or Treating.

As always wait until the last minute and you'll pay through the nose to buy a costume.

Instead I thought I'd tap MoneySavers' extensive research power to find the cheapest places to buy costumes.

  • Asda have outdone themselves this year, not just huge choice of costumes but also extras like a bowl to put sweets in which has a hand that grabs you when you place your hand in the bowl etc fantastic value :D

    Wooloworths have THE best shoes in store. They are ladybird so they are childrens sizes but they go up to size 5. They are black slip ons covered in multi coloured spiders and cob webs and look totally fab. They cost £7.99, I bought a pair on Friday and have been wearing them today. I guess they just suit my style, hee hee.
