These Wonderfully Bad Halloween Costumes Will Take You Back to Your Frugal Childhood

The average American spends $79.82 on Halloween each year, so it’s no wonder parents are looking to save a little money on their kids’ costumes. When you only get one use out of something, it’s hard to justify spending too much on it, anyway.

Of course, when you resort to making something yourself and you perhaps aren’t super talented at sewing, you run the risk of ending up with a hilarious, awful-in-a-wonderful-way costume, not unlike what these kids ended up wearing.

And for those of you whose parents were awesome enough to put you in a similar get-up back in the day, enjoy the oncoming nostalgia…
