They don\u2019t want to spend a lot of money and are looking for something creative and unique. Goodwill has always been my first stop when I was looking for my own costume ideas and for when my children started trick or treating.<\/p>\n<p>This year my youngest wants to be Wednesday Addams (from the Addams Family movie) so we are on the hunt for a simple black dress with a white collar or a dress I can alter myself. The beauty of Goodwill is that you never know what you will find and the prices are affordable enough that if I want to cut something up and redesign it, I won\u2019t worry about the cost.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on if you want to be funny, spooky or down right scary, Goodwill has what you need.
