10 Cheap Yet Cute Halloween Decorations That Cost $13 or Less

Like the vast majority of America, I’m feeling the painful pinch from our totally crashed economy. Halloween decorations just aren’t really high on my list of priorities this year. Every spare penny that I can find is going into my Christmas shopping fund for my son.

Still, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so I don’t want to completely ignore it. Unfortunately, my fall decorations box is buried somewhere in my garage, so all of the cute stuff I bought for 90% off over the years is pretty much inaccessible. So, I gave myself a $13 budget (because it’s fitting for the holiday) to grab something new. What can I get with that? Let’s find out!

FYI, this post uses affiliate links, so if you buy through them I get a small kickback at no extra charge to you. It’s a win/win!

The only downside? They cost more than $10 when you factor in shipping, because they’re coming from the UK. Still, they’re definitely among the more unique Halloween decorations that you can buy on a tight budget.
