FYI - Shop Around!

 I find it crazy how there's such a wide range of prices for very similar decorations / props!  I've had to flip back & forth between items on the same website, since it seems like they have things listed multiple times but with different prices.  

For example...

Halloween costumes 5' poseable skeletons - $80

Comes in a large variety of colors..... basic white "realistic" / pink / pastel rainbow / acid green / pastel purple / black / red / dark gray / orange (w/ jol head) / winged

why????

basic white, face & chest lights up red $90

basic white "Georgie" $60 (cheaper looking)

basic white w/ blue eyes ($70 sale)

basic white w/ yellow eyes ($40 sale)

black light ($60)

disco ball - non poseable ($200)

Werewolf ($90)

********

I'm mad about this one....  guess where I bought mine?  

Steer Skeleton 

At Home - $90

Oriental Trading - $50

Tractor Supply - $50

********

Beagle Bonez

Halloween Costumes $40

Oriental Trading $55

I recall seeing these at CVS in the past years - I just don't remember the $$ but they have tons of coupons there.

So far one of the best prices I've seen for 5' skeletons has been Target for $35 and they come in a variety of odd colors, like "iridescent" and "champagne" and "pink blush" and "ghoulish green alien" which is a cool metallic grass green, then an orange one with a JOL head, and "silver disco", which not gonna lie - I think I might get one of these - I just don't know what size yet!  It's not like the individual mirrors all glued on, but it's still pretty neat.  I like the glitter eyes/nose/mouth.  It also comes in very reasonably priced 2' and 3' sizes.

And these guys....

Most places I've seen they're $200+, they're $160 at At Home. 

Oh, and 5' pose & stay skeletons are $30 there. 

I guess the point of this post is to NOT grab the first thing you see - it's always good to shop around.  

Of course, quality is always an issue, too.  

Sometimes you HAVE to grab an item as soon as you see it, because there's the possibility that you won't ever find it anywhere else and it'll just ***poof*** be gone.

 

Halloween shopping is such a crap-shoot!
