Halloween, the spookiest season of the year, is just around the corner! It's the time for costumes, candies, and creative decor, but that shouldn’t mean you have to break the bank. At Extraco Banks, we understand the importance of managing finances wisely while still having a fantastic time during this much-anticipated holiday. In this blog post, we'll unveil some thrifty and budget-friendly tricks to make this Halloween a spooky success without draining your wallet.
DIY Magic: Summon Your Inner Artist
Why spend a fortune on store-bought costumes when you can brew up your own DIY masterpiece? Create a costume from items lying around your house or get creative with affordable finds from thrift stores. Let your imagination run wild, and watch your savings brew with delight.
Dollar Store Décor: Haunt for Less
Transforming your home into a haunted haven doesn't need to be a haunting expense. You can use items around your home like old cardboard boxes, construction paper, and markers to craft ghosts, bats, or witches. Or, visit your local dollar store for affordable decorations such as spider webs, plastic spiders, candles, and skeletons. Be sure to use your Extraco Banks debit card to track your spending and earn rewards while you deck out your home in eerie ambiance.
Bargain Sweets & Treats
Keep an eye out for candy sales and discounts at local stores. Buy in bulk or opt for off-brand goodies to fill those trick-or-treat bags without spooking your budget.
