Instead of buying items that you may only need for one time, you should consider borrowing items from a friend, family member, or a neighbor. Buy in bulk. With the rise of Costco, Sam’s Club, and BJ’s Wholesale, it has gotten easier than ever to buy items in bulk. Well, guess what; you can. It’s also a whole lot cheaper.

According to the July 15, 2010 Back to School Survey from the National Retail Federation, the average family spent around $600 per child for back to school needs, split between clothing (37%); electronics (30%); shoes (17%) and school supplies (16%). I love to shop garage sales. Bulk buys can be a lot cheaper.

Check closets, the garage, the linen closet, or your craft cupboard to make your own costume! Invite friends/family over and ask them to bring any used costumes (and accessories) that they don’t want. 5) Buy in Bulk. If you are buying a lot of candy or want to split the cost with a friend, this may be a cheaper option.
