Don't forget to save money this Halloween by making your own homemade Halloween costumes.  With the internet, you can find easy to make costumes at your fingertips.  In addition, homemade costumes are usually a much bigger hit whether you are attending a Halloween party or you are going trick or treating in your own neighborhood.

Here are a few links for some costumes that you might enjoy.  All are very easy to make.

And finally, How to Make a Homemade Dalmation Costume.  http://www.bukisa.com/articles/380837_how-to-make-a-homemade-dalmation-puppy-costume  This is probably one of the easier costumes one could ever attempt to make.

So, decide what type of simple homemade costume you would like to make this Halloween.  Then search your closets, look in all of the old boxes in the basement or attic, and head to your local Goodwill or other resale shop to put together that costume that will be the life of the party!
