Don’t waste money buying over-priced pre-packaged Halloween costumes at big-box retailers.  You’ll find those same costumes, plus a witch’s brew of ideas, at Goodwill stores.  Wander the aisles at any of the 30 Goodwill stores in Middle and West Tennessee, and let your imagination take you along for the ride.

Browse the brimming aisles at Goodwill and you’ll not only find all the elements to put together an inexpensive costume, you’ll also be unique among the other ghouls and goblins while all the pumpkins will be orange with envy!

In keeping with Goodwill’s goal of repurposing the gently-used items that are donated at our 69 Donation Express Centers, when you assemble a unique costume from pieces you find at our stores, you’re going green.  The donations keep tons of perfectly reusable items out of the landfill.  Those items get a second life and you get a costume that’ll scare the ghosts who are out haunting on Halloween.

If you prefer to shop for your costume from the comfort of home, check-out these easy pieces from onlinegoodwill.com.  Princesses need just a few clicks of their silver heels ($3.99), a drop-dead diva dress ($3.99), a must-have handbag from Neiman Marcus ($3.99) and a magic mirror to cast their spell ($3.99).  Browse, bid and buy early so your one-of-a-kind costume will arrive before the witching hour.

Every time you shop at Goodwill, and every time you donate your gently-used items, you provide free job training services and programs for clients throughout the 46 counties served by Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee.
