Costumes for Cheap

I am always excited to find dress up clothes really cheap.  My kids LOVE to dress up, and I love to encourage it!  For Reagan’s birthday in January, I have thought it would be cool to give her a box full of dress up clothes.  Our house currently only inhabits Spiderman, batman, Buzz Lightyear, Woody the Cowboy, etc type of costumes.  We need some girl stuff for this princess of mine!  Yesterday I went to my local thrift store and there was a whole aisle of Halloween costumes!  I was THRILLED!  Needless to say, I bought quite a few!  I plan on saving all the “girl” ones to give to Reagan for her birthday.

Can you believe that whole lot of costumes only cost $18?!  No joke!!  They ranged from $4 to $6 a piece, so that alone would have been a good deal, but I had a %50 off total purchase coupon that made it an even better deal!  They are all name brand (Disney, etc) and look in great condition!

You know my Transformer obsessed boys LOVE this Optimus Prime costume.  I might have one or two autobots this Halloween.  🙂

I have already gotten Reagan some fairy wings at the Dollar Store that will go great with this TinkerBell costume.

Can you beleive it only cost me $2.50?  That isn’t even the cost of a Chick-Fil-A sandwich!?!

There are lots of layers of girly fabrics in these costumes.  I just love having a girl!

Do you know that Children’s book Tea For Ruby?  We have it, and it is one of my favorites.   Ruby loves to dress up and gets invited to have tea with the queen.  It’s a great story about imagination.  Well, that purple dress is Ruby’s dress from the book!  What a great find.

I can’t wait till Reagan’s birthday!

If you too are looking to fill a dress up box, check out your local thrift store!  I hope you are having a great week.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
