11 Awesome Costumes for Under $50

by fat vox

So you got invited to the coolest Halloween party of your life, and have no idea what to wear, much less a fat wallet to buy a costume with? Have no fear, some great ideas are here!

Gold Digger
You know you’ve always wanted to be one, and now you can. It doesn’t matter if you are female or male. If you can’t find any cheap gold costume jewelry to load up on in Grandma’s jewelry box, head to your local Goodwill. More than likely you’ll be able to buy an entire bag for just a few dollars. All you need then is a shovel which you can find in your garage, but if you have to make a special trip to the store for one, go for gold (pun intended) and buy a yellow one.

Gingerbread Man
Don’t pass this up just yet. If you have red hair, all you need is a loaf of bread to carry around. If you don’t have red hair, go pick up some red hair spray at the store. If you’re still lost at what I’m getting at, please go look up the definition of ginger kid. The Urban Dictionary online will prove most helpful.

Brawny Guy
He’s the classic icon of manliness, and all you need is a pair of jeans, a red flannel shirt, and a roll of Brawny paper towels. The paper towels will more than likely come in handy at some point during the night, which will then also make you everyone’s hero.

Conspiracy Theorist
This one is my personal favorite. All you need is a tin-foil hat, which you can easily make yourself to look any way you please.

Error 404
Wear whatever you want with a white t-shirt. Take a black sharpie and write “Error 404: Costume Not Found” on it. Could Halloween get any easier?

Legos
Who didn’t love playing with Legos when they were a kid? Get a big box, cut a hole for your head and two for your arms, and paint it whatever color you want. Find the same color plastic cups and glue them at the rim to the front of the box. Obviously red or blue would work best. On the end of each plastic cup, write “LEGO” in a black sharpie. You can either glue on two vertical rows of three cups, or two vertical rows of four. If you want to be extra comfy, wear a sweat suit the same color.

Orange is the New Black
Head to Wal-Mart and buy a set of orange scrubs. That’s all you need for this comfortable, undoubtedly popular 2013 costume!

Spice Rack
Buy a huge over-sized bra, put it on over your clothes, and fill it with bottles of spices. If for some reason you don’t have any, head to the dollar aisle at your store. You can usually find them two-for-one!

Rosie The Riveter
This is the female equivalent to the Brawny guy and is a timeless idea as well. Ladies, all you need is a pair of jeans, a denim shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a red bandana to put in your hair, and ruby red lipstick. You’ll get some phone numbers for sure!

Nudist On Strike
I know, I know. Who wants to be a nudist on strike? If you decide to go to that Halloween party as one anyway, wear whatever you like and simply carry around a sign that says “Nudist on Strike”.

Underwear/Lingerie Model
Do you seriously have nothing to wear to that party? Or are you just too lazy to put any effort into it? Go in your underwear or lingerie. You might just win the prize for best costume!
