HALLOWEEN won’t be quite the same this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still dress up and get spooky.
To help you get your ghoul on, we’ve rounded up the cheapest costumes currently available for kids with prices starting from £3.99.

We’ve searched online at shops including B&M and Matalan, as well as the major supermarkets, and many have slashed prices by up to 25% ahead of the spooktacular day.
This year, you’ll want to keep an eye on Halloween trick or treat rules in your area as the annual event is being banned in places under lockdown.
This is because interacting with neighbours and friends still counts as mixing – which is against the rules in many places under local restrictions.
And outside of lockdown areas, people will still have to stick by the rule of six, which applies nationwide.
But if you still plan on celebrating at home, here are the cheapest Halloween costumes.
