Ten Great AC Articles on Cheap / Inexpensive Halloween Costumes

Ten Great AC Articles on Cheap / Inexpensive Halloween Costumes - As much as I like costuming for Halloween or conventions, my disposable income goes towards finer luxuries like food, movies, and other things people usually buy when they have the spare income. But when the costuming bug bites, I want to spend as little money as possible. Or at least I want to know how much money I will need to spend so I can adjust my budget enough to stop short of taking my next date to a $1 menu restaurant.
