Thread: How much do you spend?

Tweet

Apologies if there's another thread with this...but I'm curious what everyone spends every year on Halloween (props, decorating, parties, etc.).

i normally spend between $100 and $200 some years more other years less

I voted more than 1000.00 but that's only because I've been buying and planning since Feb. I started with nothing! When spread out over the months it doesn't hurt as bad. Next yr won't be so costly. I'll just buy a little to add to the collection.

I have easily spent over $1000.00 and still going, but like dippedstix was saying, "It doesn't hurt as much when you spread it over several months."

I've jumped from 15-200 bucks depending on the year. A lot of my stuff is home made, and less expensive.

Between £100 - £200. We try not to buy decorations as we have a large collection built up now (though we usually still buy some!) Most of the money is spent on food and drink!

Do share your secrets, those of you who spend <$300. I spend that much on food and drinks alone! Plus all the consumables like napkins; and the things I buy every party like serving dishes, decorations, etc.

ibought my jason and little things at garden ridge but im just starting and i have about 6 more 50% micheals coupons im starting to add more and more to my stash..lol

We usually buy napkins etc in bulk so they do a couple of years. As for food again we usually make a few big dishes, like a massive pot of soup. It's cheap enough to make and everyone loves it!

Around $400 this year but only $100 of that is for food. The guests are asked to provide snacks, and a few of them are willing to do themed foods for me. :}
