Discover Spooktacular Savings for Halloween at the Arc Thrift Stores
It’s already October and along with the changing of the leaves comes a favorite holiday, Halloween! These days it seems that cruising your neighborhood, knocking on doors and yelling Trick or Treat is almost a thing of the past.
Nowadays the shopping malls and centers stock up on candy and families troop their little goblins from store to store. So maybe bringing home bags full of candy is a little harder to get, but dressing up for the night with your kids or going to a theme party is still going strong, especially when you shop for a costume at the Arc Thrift Stores.
Dressing Up
At the Arc, you’ll find a great selection of Halloween costumes and accessories such as wigs, masks, hats, and props all guaranteed to have you or your youngster standing out in a crowd. Most of the costumes feature major movie heroes and villains, and then there are separates that allow you to create your own one-of-a-kind monster, princess or prince, pirate or caveman.
In addition to costumes, the Arc Thrift Stores also have all the things needed to decorate your home for the night or a Halloween Party on a budget. Sure it’s fun to visit those “Now you see them, now you don’t” Halloween stores, but the prices can be prohibitive.
Thrift store shopping in preparation for Halloween is a great way to find spooktacular deals. The Arc strives to offer costumes that are well cared for and gently-used. Many have only been worn once, so they’re in tip-top shape. If you decide to indulge in a DIY costume, you’ll find boots, jackets, scarves, capes, and every color of clothing to create a winner. You’ll have access to many hats, wigs, gloves, shoes, boots, and jewelry to achieve that certain look you may be after for this year’s costume.
Party Going and Hosting
Halloween isn’t just for the young but also the young at heart. This year Halloween falls on a Saturday so they’re bound to be plenty of parties to attend, or perhaps you’re hosting one yourself. If you’re hosting a theme party, half the fun is deciding who is going to be which character. Dressing up is so much fun, you can be anyone or anything you want.
Decorating can be a lot of fun too, letting your imagination fly and getting the kids involved always makes for fun and excitement. One great idea for the yard and welcoming your guests is using the large capacity black plastic trash bags to hold all the fall leaves you’ve raked up and painting spooky faces on them, using glow-in-the-dark paint. Using the colors of the fall season are most popular for this décor, but bright red, purple, and black fit right in also.
Thrift store shopping in preparation for Halloween is the most economical way to get those spooky good deals. The Arc thrift stores in Chico, Paradise, and Oroville have what you need to make a beautiful – or downright scary – costume, as well as the decorations to achieve the atmosphere you want to present to those little trick or treaters.
