Halloween costumes can be fun, racy and scary. They can also be expensive.
Here on the Bargain Hunter blog, we don’t believe the price of a costume should be frightening. That’s why this year we’re showcasing the best of the inexpensive costumes.
Submit pictures of your homemade costumes — both for children and adults –and be featured in an ajc.com photo gallery.
Those submitting the most creative costumes will be eligible for a few cool gifts — including one great one that bargain shoppers are sure to love.

MY GOSH, MY MOM ALWAYS MADE ME SOMETHING THAT I WOULD HAVE FUN WITH FOR THE “ONE NIGHT” ONE WAS A FAT LADY COSTUME WITH A BIG PILLOW AND A SKIRT TO FIT THE ADDED GIRTH. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH TO ACCOMPLISH THESE OUTFITS. IMAGINATION IS THE KEY. AND MY MOM WAS GOOD AT THAT. OF COURSE, THIS WAS BACK IN THE 30′S WHEN MONEY WAS TIGHT AND TO ME, IT IS NOW. SO MOTHERS GET BUSY WITH YOUR NEEDLE AND THREAD (OR SAFETY PINS) MOST OF ALL………..HAVE FUN

My momma make me a good costume god rest her sole. She said we was to poor and whatnot. One year I was a ghost but I have woody wood pecker on my sheet and she said it was well sorry I’m crying now but she said I was casper friend and then she give me a kiss. Then her old man tell her that I was to dang old but he didn’t say dang. And he throw my candy out. But then the next year when he goed to jail it was funner. She dress me up like a prisiner in a strip shirt and send him a picture of me. It was our faverite holiday. I love you moma.
