Do you shop your local Thrift Stores?
I shop my local Thrifts Stores to try to find bargains. I look for wardrobe attire for my props and different items that I might could use in my haunt.
I went yesterday, which was half price day and I got this amazing suit (jacket and pants) for only $3.49... Now who can beat a deal like that?
Now my cemetery grounds keeper will be looking pretty spiffy..

Those bottles/decanters would be perfect for the "potions classroom' for my Harry Potter themed Halloween party!! Very good purchases. I LOVE thrift store, and cruise them intermittently all year looking for prop parts, clothing and such. They are gold mines sometimes, aren't they?

Thrift stores are great! But we can't over look thoses yard sales and flea markets...LOL
I got a wonderful black trunk at a yard sale for $5 that I used for a prop last Halloween, I'll be using it again this year...
I put one of those bumble balls inside the tunk to make it sound like someting was in it trying to get out. It worked great!!

Naturepixie - what a great buy (a black trunk) I dont make it out to thrift stores a whole lot because the ones around me are kind of trashy. I love yardsales though. And my favorite time of year for a yardsale is in the fall.
I am pretty sure I spend more money in the fall then any other time of the year.

Hell yes! I frequent several thrift stores in my town, there are many, and if you really want to find cool stuff you have to go to them often as there are so many people who do the same thing here. I just love finding antique items for my home decor & other stuff as well. You can really get some good deals and wicked stuff And you wouldn't believe the awesome Halloween stuff you can find, just think, you're giving these sweeties a loving home
