Hi Forumites!

It's that time of year again...

We want to know your best MoneySaving tricks when it comes to Halloween outfits, so they go down a treat with the kids!

Do you make it from scratch? Repurpose last year's witch ensemble into a cat?

Or do you have one particular outfit that does the rounds? Former MSE Andrea did exactly that with a spider costume!

Let us know in the comments below!

    We’re members of a local toy library. They offer a few costumes and accessories for kids to borrow. They’re not your usual scary Halloween type costume, but my little boy is really excited to go to our nursery Halloween party as a fireman.

    On a serious note make sure that any costumes you buy or make are safe .

    On another serious note - sit in the dark on All Hallows’ eve ! No no turn up the music or tv . Invite people round , make a noise.
    . Can’t hear the door then and chases the hovering spirits .

    Lights off, TV up loud. Eliminates any need for costumes, sweets or beggars at the door.
    Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear
