I've gotten my dd's on sale at Old Navy before Halloween for the past two years.  The one costume we only paid $7.50 for and I just resold it at our yard sale for $4.00. lol!

We make ours from scratch so I might hit goodwill starting in september. Though, last year he was reusable grocery sack so I just to come up with a egg carton, and a bread bag. His costume was 99 cents. It was expensive for us but way easier than the pumpkin costume we made out of daddy's orange shirt or the robot the year before that. Since everything was recycled they didn't cost anything.

It depends on I don't go out of my way to find them but if I do and the next year the kids like them I do. Last year after Halloween I ran across a bunch of the hoodies that zip up all the way with a mask built in the hood and bought like 6 of them I figured they kids would get a kick out of them during  the Halloween season this year. I think they were $15 and I paid like $2 a piece lol

I bought a dinosaur costume for my youngest a few weeks ago at a yardasle for $3.  It was a great price.
