It’s October! The weather has cooled down, the leaves are changing colors, Starbucks is serving Pumpkin Spice Lattes again…
…and we are nearing one of America’s favorite holidays.
That’s right — Halloween is coming up in just a few short weeks! And if you do not yet have a costume, I have great news for you!
HalloweenCostumes.com has graciously offered to give one reader up to $75 worth of FREE costumes!
Their site, which is organized by sex, age, size, and even themes, features hundreds of costumes in all price ranges and tastes.
Have a little one in the house? Why not try the Baby Costumes section? Are you a history buff? Go check out the Historical Costumes! Of course, this post would not be complete without my mentioning the Star Wars Costumes or the Video Game / Toy Costumes sections. I am also loving the Wizard of Oz Costumes, and if my due date weren’t literally days away from Halloween you know I would be sporting something from the Maternity Costumes!
They even have a great selection of Couples, Groups, Plus Size, and even Pet costumes!
Here are a few of my personal favorites…

Mario Kart Costume, $19.99
I confess: I have always wanted to dress like the Princess of Power.
She-Ra Costume, $48.99
I have been telling J for ages that with our height difference,
we would make the perfect Spartan Cheerleaders couple.

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the 
My most memorable costume was when I made my own Candy Corn costume 5 years ago. I literally spent nights hand sewing each piece together. The crowd loved it and it was a hit at the party!
Last year, i bought some bat wings and ears and was a bat. People thought I was a flying cat. haha.
Most memorable costume has to be the time when I was a teen and decided trick or treat as “myself”. I couldn’t believe people gave me candy… Those were the days when my friends and I were “too cool” for costumes… Or so we thought. lol
My favorite frugal costume was being a penalty flag – a yellow poncho was all I needed! My boyfriend wore a ref shirt he already owned and kept me tucked under his arm all night. It was a blast!
My favorite costume was Snow White…or maybe it was because I got the most candy that year?? =)
My best costume was the year I went as Cleopatra. Not entirely original, but I made the entire costume by hand, beading and all. It took me 4 months and I was very proud of it.
i remember being tinkerbell when i was in 1st grade…i thought i had the prettiest costume out of everyone else!
When I was in elementary school I went as Pippy Longstocking. I definitely outdid all the other girls in my class though… my mom braided my hair around a wire hanger so my pigtails actually did stick straight out!
My most memorable costume was when I wore a cat suit and went as cat woman. I was the bell of the ball (party). LOL…. And I loved all the cute comments.
I went as Hera one year in elementary school (since I was studying Greek mythology) and made the costume myself. It was basically a white dress with sheets that I wrapped around myself, and I painted my face white. I thought I looked so cool, but looking back it was pretty ridiculous!
Oh I would love to be She-Ra!
I wore a robe and had a pipe. I was Hugh Heffner.
