1. Ghost You had to know this standby Halloween costume was going to be on the list. Grab a plain, white sheet and cut two holes for your eyes. If you don’t have a white sheet hanging around or the one you have is too big, you can purchase a few yards of plain, white cotton fabric at your local discount fabric store for less than five bucks.
2. Soldier If you're active in the military, you may not even need to buy anything for this cheap Halloween costume. Buy or borrow a pair of camouflage pants and a camouflage T-shirt. Depending on where you live, you probably should not carry around a real or pretend gun. If you're headed to a Halloween party, go without the gun and you'll be less likely to get shot at or arrested for carrying a weapon.
3. Devil You can buy a devil’s pitch fork, tail and horns inexpensively at most party supply stores. Add a pair of black or red jogging pants and a red hooded sweatshirt and you’re ready for Halloween. If you really want to go all out, you can add bright red cheeks with lipstick and a sinister looking mustache with black eye liner.
4. Warlock Making a warlock Halloween costume on the cheap side is easy. You can grab a warlock/witch's hat at your local big box store for less than five bucks. Wear blank pants and a black top, robe or cape. For added authenticity, you should buy or make a wand out of a wooden dowel spray painted blank.
5. School Girl If you're in touch with your feminine side, this Halloween costume is a fun one that everyone with be talking about. Dust off your girlfriend's Catholic school girl outfit or pick up one at your local thrift shop. All you need is a plaid mini skirt, a white button up shirt and some cotton knee socks. A big cross is optional, but would complete the look nicely.
