Make your own costume - If you think about how long a costume for Halloween is worn, it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money especially on children's costume. The costume will normally be only worn once as your child will grow out of them by next year so why not make a costume yourself?
You could make your child a simple outfit by wrapping bandages round them and making the into a mummy or you could go the extra mile and make them a black tail - a stuffed sock full of newspaper, dress your child all in black and paint some whiskers on your child's face to make them into a cat. You could research the internet and come up with ideas but instead of spending £20+ on a outfit why not look into how to make one at home.
Make your own food - Buying Halloween themed food can be expensive, so why not make you own? You can buy trays of special Halloween cupcakes but if you were to make your own it would be much cheaper and a fun activity for your children to enjoy. There are many recipes online that people are happy to share with you, use some fun ideas and cook up a storm in the kitchen for a fraction of the shop price!
