instead of kids spending money on Halloween costumes why don't they just buy candy?
60 dollar halloween costume = 400 pieces of small kitkat/coffe crisp/Aero/smarties
Maybe kids like dressing up as super heroes or action heroes? I know I did, halloween was fun. You hang out with your friends, go and get free candy and just run around the neighborhood. When you're a kid you don't think of the money or the net cost of halloween
...
And btw, if you go to Walmart or any of those bulk stores the day after halloween, you can get like a years worth of candy for $50. Those big boxes are marked down to $1/box.
By the looks of this thread, most of you will be boring parents.
