Once the kids left home, we ended up with zero trick or treaters at our house on a state highway. No kids = no money on candy = no candy wrappers in the landfill. No kids = no parties or haunted houses = money saved. We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year).

You can visit garage sales, local flea markets and scratch and dent stores to locate used furniture that needs to be refurbished. If you find a table with a leg missing, you can buy four matching stair posts or use recycled bench legs to create a unique centerpiece for your living area. Budget and Kid Friendly Fun.
