Budget Halloween costumes

Budget Halloween costumes

We both know you’re down to your last pack of Ramen, but that doesn’t mean you have to slack on your Halloween costume this year. Here are some last-minute, easy costumes that won't break the bank: 

Toilet Paper Mummy: This is not the time to use that 2-ply T.P. your mom bought you. Whip out that cheap stuff from housing and wrap it on. (side note: be sure to wear something underneath your wrappings.) 

Ceiling Fan: You might not know a thing about football, but who cares? Grab a white pom-pom and write your own “#1 Ceiling Fan” poster and live your best pun-filled life!

Brawny Paper Towel Guy: Literally all you need here is a red, long-sleeved plaid shirt and some jeans. Just so people get the point, carry some paper towels with you (Dollar General brand, of course). 

Hot Mess: For possibly the most cost-efficient costume on this list, wear exactly what you would wear when you have an 8 A.M. class and you woke up at 7:57. For added effect, tease your hair and don't hesitate on the pajama bottoms. 

Thief: Wear some darker clothes and grab your panty-hose, you’re a robber tonight. (Also if you don’t care about your pillowcase, decorate it with some dollar signs.) 

Smart Cookie: Hopefully you didn’t throw your cap and gown away because it’s time to use it one more time. Print off some pictures of cookies, tape them to yourself and claim to be the smartest student on campus. 

Roman (Toga): Got a spare white sheet? You’re in luck! Throw that bad boy over your shoulder, tie it, and roll around in some dirt and you're good to go. Maybe put some leaves in your hair to spice up this look.
