Great post - very fun.

Our budget is tight and we don't buy Halloween costumes any more. This is actually worked out very well. They can just go into the dress up box and get what ever they want.

My son9 will be a spy again. He wears all black and a vest with lots of pockets. He puts on as many spy gadgets as he can manage.

My daughter will probably be a pink cow girl, a princess and a bat.

We usually do a few events- trick or treat, school dress up and library party.

PS.
After Halloween, Our Target usually has costumes marked down to 90%.
My daughter pink cowgirl costume was bought for $2 and given to her at Cristmas.
