Heaps of great posts around the budget blogosphere with budget Halloween costume ideas. Here is a roundup of some of my faves, from classic to silly (can’t get enough roundups lately, are you with me?)

• Recycle! Take costumes from previous Halloweens and update them. Twice I’ve had my young daughter wear the same costume, which she looked just as cute in the second time. Turn a vampire cape into a Hogwart’s cloak with a few accessories. (Courtesy Tips for Halloween Savings from WalletPop)

• A Bag of Jellybeans. Cut arm and leg holes in a clear trashbag.  Put it on and fill with balloons of all colors.  Gather the bag at the neck and tie (but not too tightly).  Viola! (Courtesy Tightwad Tuesday: Frugal Halloween Costumes from BeingFrugal.net)

• Ghost (the classic). Cut white sheets to proper length for your child and decorate with cute or scary faces or cut out a section in the middle for the head so that the sheet fits like a poncho. (Courtesy Cheap and Easy Halloween Costumes for Kids from Wisebread)

• Gum on a shoe. Wear all pink and Velcro a shoe to the top of your head. (Courtesy 25 Frugal Halloween Costumes from Moolanomey)
