If you're like many folks out there, you come up with brilliant Halloween costume ideas in May that are forgotten by October.
Halloween stores are easy (albeit pricey), but it just isn't the same as putting together a unique costume that's held together with aluminum foil and duct tape.
Pinterest.com has an interesting collection of photos sent in by users: Think Flo, the Progressive Insurance lady, a teabag (you read right), or Rosie the Riveter (the We Can Do It!) poster woman.
Now is the time to start brainstorming so you know what to look for in thrift store aisles and beyond, for yourself or your children.
