HALLOWEEN STUFFNO
Unless you thought way ahead and bought a costume and decorations last November, when prices were at their lowest, be on the lookout for bargains this month. The closer the holiday, the bigger the deals, as retailers try to clear the shelves by Halloween. There is a time constraint, however — you won’t find many costume choices and sizes if you wait too long. The best time to buy is mid-month, when the selection is still decent and prices have started dropping.
