HAVE A FUNTASTIC HALLOWEEN ON A LOW BUDGET BY SHOPPING AT GOODWILL
Finding inexpensive, but terrific Halloween costumes for your whole family is more fun and easier than ever this year at Goodwill Stores. Plaid shirts, bellbottoms, black dresses, fancy dresses, overalls, straw hats, top hats and tiaras are just a few of the items for sale as local Goodwill Stores gear up for a busy Halloween season. People come in and mix and match items to make great costumes without spending a lot of money.
In addition to second-hand and vintage items, Goodwill offers low price new costumes, decorations and accessories like make-up and wigs. Shopping at Goodwill is a great way to put together a unique and inexpensive Halloween costumes for the whole family.
While other retailers anticipate the holiday shopping season between Thanksgiving and Christmas, trick-or-treaters make October the hottest month at Goodwill stores. Customers can find funny, vintage, scary or most original. All they need is some imagination. The trick is doing a bit of cutting and pasting and letting your imagination go wild with the accessories. The treat is your wallet isn’t emptied, and purchases support individuals with disabilities and other barriers to employment who are trying to achieve employment and independence.
