Tips and Tricks: Budget-Friendly Halloween Decor

‘Tis the season for pumpkin carving, apple bobbing, creative costumes and trick-or-treating. It can be a spook-tacular time to decorate your home in celebration of the ghoulishly fun holiday. Whether you're planning a monster bash or just enjoy surprising trick-or-treaters with fun décor, Dollar General is here to share a few tips on how to transform your home into the most spirited spot on the block without spending a scary amount.

Create a Spooky Lair
Make the right first impression by adding carved pumpkins to your patio or walkway. Consider glow-in-the-dark pumpkin fangs or a bling pumpkin decoration kit to save time. Add some spook to your front door with a glitter wooden hanging Halloween sign or a Halloween outdoor mat. Decorate tables and doorways with a creepy cloth decoration to transform your home into a haunted house. String candy corn lights or purple spider web lights outside to add a festive touch. Round out your outdoor decorations with solar pumpkin lawn stakes that can provide a well-lit pathway for trick-or-treaters. 

Bringing the Fright Inside
Bring the Halloween spirit indoors by hanging eerie ghouls in smaller spaces. Fill a bowl with glitter pumpkins to decorate a living room or kitchen table. Coordinating towel sets can help to add the perfect touch of Halloween spirit to your kitchen. Find assorted wooden signs at your local Dollar General with spooky signs that can be hung indoors on the front door.


Tricks and Treats
If hosting friends and family on Fright Night, serve your favorite potions in a skull goblet for a wickedly festive drink. DG Easy Meals offers frightfully delicious sweet and savory snacks to make your Halloween gathering a monster hit. Be sure to stock up on Halloween-themed party supplies that includes matching paper plates and napkins. 


Dollar General also offers an assortment of America’s favorite candy brands like Hershey’s® and Snickers® to get the kids excited. Fill a decorative spider web basket with all your favorite brands to make handing out a candy a creepy-crawly good time. Don’t forget a costume! Find a wide range of simple to adventurous costumes at your local Dollar General to have the ultimate outfit.
