Halloween enthusiasts across Africa are looking for ways to save money this Halloween. A tough economy due to COVID-19 pandemic has cut budgets for new Halloween decorations, costumes and other Halloween treats, so what is the trick to finding great Halloween deals and do-it-yourself ideas?
Clearance Halloween
Believe it or not, Halloween websites usually have a clearance section. Items from the previous year that are left over are available on most Halloween websites. When you first visit an online Halloween store, check the ‘Clearance’ section first for some great deals even during the current Halloween season.
Bricks and Mortar Retailers
Halloween shoppers can benefit from the fact that stores are so far ahead of the seasons. The back to school stuff was pushed aside and Halloween items were being shelved. The retail push for Christmas items to edge out the Halloween goods means that the week before Halloween is the perfect time to do your shopping.
Do It Yourself
Having an adult Halloween party this year but need to save cash? The new book Adult Halloween Parties gives tons of ideas for saving money via do-it-yourself decorations, food, drinks, costumes, and beyond. You can also do a Google search on an individual project you’d like to create and find ways to make gravestones, standing Halloween figures, table centerpieces and other spooky home decor.
Halloween Shopping Online
The key to finding good Halloween deals online is browsing the many Halloween websites out there. Check for clearance sections, special sales, deals on free shipping, etc. Also, do an ‘online coupon’ Google search- if your favorite Halloween retailer is for example Fright Catalog, check a search engine for “Fright Catalog Online Coupons’ and you may be able to find some codes to help with your Halloween bottom line. Don’t forget to check eBay to compare prices on Halloween items you’d like to get this year. Often you can find better prices from eBay retailers for Halloween goodies.
