Can you believe it’s October already! My kids have been itching to decorate for Halloween since Walmart put out their costumes. We have collected some decorations over the years, but I like to add a couple things each year. Without breaking the bank or dipping into other areas of our budget.
So where does a Mom go who wants her kids to have memorable holidays but doesn’t want to spend a whole lot of money??
Dollar Tree, of course!! Everything is $1 so you already go in knowing how many things you can get. While their stuff probably isn’t the BEST quality in the world, it will certainly do in a pinch.
Take a look at a few things my 4-year-old and I found….
We bought this banner to hang in our kitchen window.
These went in our basket, too!
Breckyn picked out Frankenstein to hang in the kitchen. 
There were some great options for a quick, cheap costume, too! Last year, it was snowing and they were covered up with winter coats. We may go the Dollar Tree route this Halloween!
They have a couple options for non-candy treats. We can’t give out candy/food at school, so I picked up pencils and erasers for my class.
I’m not sure how excellent that knife will work, but you can’t go wrong with a big spoon for scooping the guts out of a pumpkin.
Halloween cards for $.50! I am trying to get better at sending notes/cards to people so we picked up a couple to send to friends and family. 
There you have it!! I forgot to take a picture of the tablecloth and spooky garland we picked out, too. Our kitchen area is now set for Halloween!
