Plan 11 Months Ahead

Much like Valentines day candy and Christmas ornaments, Halloween costumes are cheapest right after they stop being useful.  Costume shops both online and offline usually have clearance sales in November to unload any excess merchandise that didn’t sell for Halloween.  Take note of stores that are completely seasonal as they’ll probably be trying to liquidate all of their Halloween goods to make room for their Christmas merchandise.  If you’re one of those people that already knows what your next costume will be while you’re still wearing your current costume, you can plan ahead and save yourself a decent amount of money.
