Did You Wear Your Halloween Costume to the Office?

6 Low-Budget Ways to Celebrate Halloween
Halloween definitely isn't just for kids. They're the ones wandering around with pillowcases in the dark, but most adults love a good celebration and Halloween is the perfect excuse to do something different. If you can't afford to attend a big bash that started selling tickets back in August or pay cover charges to enter one of your city's hot events, it doesn't have to mean Halloween is a bust this year.

I'm Asking: What Are Your Savvy Halloween Tips?

Did You Wear Your Halloween Costume to Work?
Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch got all decked out for Halloween on last night's episode of The Office. Stanley wore a mask so he could discreetly sleep, Kelly dressed as Carrie Bradshaw, Phyllis was Raggedy Ann, Ryan was Gordon Gekko, Andy wore a kitten costume, and Dwight and Kevin both showed up as the Joker. Pam didn't know the tradition was limited to the Scranton branch and went to work in the New York office dressed as Charlie Chaplin, where nobody else wore a costume.
Did You Spend Money on a Halloween Costume?
Halloween doesn't have to be expensive, but as we get older it's harder to come up with a fabulous costume that doesn't involve spending money. There's always the option of recycling last year's attire to save, though dressing up isn't as fun when your outfit is expected.
