LF Halloween costume ideas for adult

[fitzgirl]

i know this is not coupon related but have been raking my brain with an idea for a halloween costume for myself that is very inexpensive for a halloween party that i will be going to.

I know that there are very creative people out there. Please help!

What I did one year was take a black and a white top and a black and a white pair of pants and took them apart and sewed half the black top with the half of the white top and did the same with the bottoms.
I made a black and white joker hat with the left overs from the shirt and pants.
I painted half my face black and the other white, had black and white soxs mitts and shoes.

ta da

most people have all this available and didn't cost me a cent

If you don't have the clothes to do this, go to Value Village or Sally ann to get cheap items.

you could even do your hair.
oh ya I put bells on the tips of the hat.


I received third prize.

We went to a Halloween theme party. Everyone had to come as a drink. Some interesting Caesars, Pink Ladies, Fuzzy Navel (that was different), Scotch on the Rocks, etc.
I went as Dr. Pepper. Very simple (lab coat, stethoscope and name plate. I was actually tied for 3rd.

google easy halloween costume ideas, or browse kijiji to find cheap costumes..thats what I'm doing to get ideas.
Actually I'm hoping to find a nurse or cop outfit and kick it up a notch this year lol, so if anyone has one.....large or xl!

Not the most creative costume, but I don't have much free time to plan a costume so I'm going to dress up as an extreme couponer. I will have "extreme couponer painted on a shirt as well as all my unused oct 31 expiring coupons will be pinned to my clothes. For accessories I'll probably carry couple bottles of free resolve and other freebies from couponing.. I might come up with more ideas, but that's where I'm at right now

haha, nice! It'd be funny if you pushed a shopping cart around all night!

Good idea!!!! I never thought of that! DUH! lol... That's so perfect!!! Instead of using my baby stroller to "cart" my son around on Halloween I should just put him in the cart with everything else

[littlebean]

PERFECT! and in that cart you could have lots of the same item, not heavy items of course!

I wore all white clothes and cut out black shaped spots added some black oval shapes to my hoody as ears ..put on a dog collar painted my face and went as a dalmation

is the make-up they sell at wal-mart/shoppers etc. for halloween okay for your face, or should you try to stay away? I'm scared it will cause a major break out or really dry skin or something else! Has anyone used it and has it been ok?? Did you not look like an alien for the next few days or weeks after? Should I just really lay on moisturizer really thick underneath, and that will help?

I haven't used that stuff in years so I can't remember how good it is and how well it washes off. I would definitely recommend putting lotion on your face before the makeup just to be safe and to avoid any scrubbing the stuff off
