While homemade Halloween and fall decorations are fine in my book, there are some times that call for store bought decorations, such as when you are going all out for a party or or community event. Still, there is no reason to have to pay full price for Halloween decorations. Now is a great time to get things at 40 percent off or more. You just need to know where to look and what to do.
Believe it or not, many retail stores already have their Halloween items on sale or even at clearance! Yes, it is still more than three weeks until Halloween, but there you go. One of the nice benefits of the stores rushing the holidays is that they are already anxious to get rid of the Halloween, and in some cases Thanksgiving decorations, in order to make room for all of the Christmas stock. So, now is a good time to go shopping.
I know of several stores that have discounted Halloween decorations, such as Michael’s, Party City, Lowe’s, Home Depot and more. Keep your eyes out.
You can save even more when you combine these sales with store coupons. Visit the store websites, or check in at customer service when you visit the stores and ask for coupons that you can use.
Another way to get store-bought Halloween decorations at a discount, believe it or not, is at your local thrift store. Goodwill gets a lot of things brand new from Target at the end of each season. They store the seasonal items and then bring them out the following year. This means that you can get new-in-the-package decorations at 50-70 percent off of the retail costs. This applies for costumes and other Halloween items as well.
Happy shopping! Let me know if you find any great deals by leaving me a comment.
