Looking for cheap Halloween decor that won't hemorrhage your bank balance? I got you. I can just about afford to deck my home out with "evergreen" decorations, let alone furnish it with items that I'll use for one freakin' month!
The key to getting the most value out of your Halloween decor is to invest in fall inventory and then add affordable accent pieces to give scare and shock factor. Yes, plastic will be less pricey, but IMO, you should look for reusable items that you can revive when spooky szn returns.
I've tried to keep everything under $30 (in fact, everything bar one item is under $20), so you won't be having nightmares about money. Y'all already have got rent and bills to do that for you.
12 pieces of cheap Halloween decor to get your claws on RN
Soft to touch
Price: $1.85

Spooky drinks

"Fa-boo-lous"

We all know that restrooms can be scary places. Especially when you need to go to them after watching a scary movie. But this fruity touch can add gothic glam to your bathroom basin. According to B&BW, it smells like dark strawberries, ghostly peonies, and spine-chilling citrus. And the magenta bottle is to die for.
4-wick candle
Price: $9.99
I'm all for apple-spiced anything this spooky season. But sometimes I CBA to make a simmer pot or mulled cider. This seasonally-scented candle can be reincarnated as a trinket once all the wax has melted and you've given it a rinse.
