Thanks to Streatching your Dollar$ Idaho for todays thrifty tip,

Milk Jug Ghost Lights (A few years ago we made Milk Jug Ghost Lights. Here is how we did it…) attached is a pic. of when we did our Jug Lights a few years ago

-First you want to save 5-10 milk jugs (however many you will use) rinse them out and dry them
-Once they are dry use black permanent marker to make scary faces on the front
-Cut a small hole in the back of the milk jug
-Lay them outside or in your windows and put a string of Christmas lights in the holes you cut in the back of the jugs and you have cute Ghost Milk Jug Lights
(Total cost will be FREE if you save your milk jugs and use a strand of lights you have at home, if not you can pick up a strand at the dollar store)

COSTUMES & DECOR:
-Last year I went into the Family Dollar 2 days after Halloween and they had all of their Halloween items marked down to 90% off or more I was able to get 5 full costumes, and a cart full of decorations all for just $3.00!! Always buy Holiday stuff after the holiday when they are on clearance and save for next year or you can usually find them cheap at yard sales
