Tweet

Hey so all you cool Halloween'es have a budgget to work with for this year? Just intrested in seeing how much you spend on Halloween a year. It's getting so crazy I have to set a new buddget every week. hehe.

What is this budget you speak of? Is it some type of tool? Where can I get one?

good one Wilbret!LOL! I don't really have a budget, I buy a little at a time, and really haven't added it up. Yesterday, $25 at Lowes, for more PVC, a few $$ at Dollar Tree. I do that all the time, as I need things or see something I want. I haven't made any real big purchases, just many smaller ones. If I really think about it, I have been buying small since winter, fabric, clearance, bottles for my witch, etc. I don't think I want to know how much I've spent, in this case ignorence is bliss!

Lets see...budget for 2007 was $100.00, according to the wife. So far I have now spent over $600.00. (I hope my wife doesnt read this.)

My budget is generally non-exsistant....but I try to keep it under $200

hummmm well i always THINK i made a budget but i guess i am always way over ......i bought my props for this year after last halloween , it is easier to get troughout the year , but when new stuff comes out their is ALWAYS extra spending and i am in the extra spending right now lol....

this is what i bought after halloween last year and during the winter and into spring, 6ft mad scientist , 6ft bride mummy , 6ft frankenstein monster , spazm , haunted portraits , dapper death, lord grimsley prop, skeleton and a dog skeleton from ACC, spirit ball , 2 haunted busts and 3 animated busts , groom with bride head, mourning dress for the widow , bride dress for the headless bride , plastic urns for the porch , feathered vulture.....

and tought i had pretty much everything , well ended up with the hearse project , just in material for the hearse ,plywoods , 2x4 ,decorative moldings, fabric for draperies, wheels, paint , lanterns,it cost so far a good 400$ ....

as for the lab props i would say a little over 150$ for materials....

now what wasnt on my list was donna the dead wich i got as a gift from hubby , waiting on 2 lightning machine , i still want to have a haunted chandelier , books , and 2 lab props still to get that will cost less then making , some beakers for the lab, white pumpkins , white roses and black roses , black garlands.....

whats left to do colums for the busts , coffin .....

and need to start buying candy each week in the grocerie list .....

too much imagination , not enough time and money

Under $100. That's mostly going to my costume. In the future, I can see myself spending a ton throughout the year.

well since i have a group of my friends help, they buy their own costumes, and i buy the props since it is at my house. this year im gonna try to keep it under 150....but everyone knows, it's hard to keep a budget...

no budget for me either. I have one rule. if i like it i buy it. simple as that.

Me too Scavengerhaunt. I really like having a garage now for project work. But I have to admit, it's getting a little, ok a LOT, out of control for me...
