When I saw Enviro Mom’s post on Precycle and Reuse: Halloween Costume Challenge!, I knew I had to send some link love her way.
She’s engaging her readers in a challenge to Buy Nothing New this Halloween. And she talks about those yucky Halloween super stores that spring up in empty retail spaces this time of year. I love Halloween, but I do wish those folks would take to selling solar lights instead : )
Anyhow, Renee goes through her plans to supply her kids with Halloween costumes (in this case Statue of Liberty and a mouse) without buying anything new. And she provides some other tips, so go check it out and strengthened yourself against Halloween Mania Superlo.

I love this- not only is it recycle friendly- its also pocket friendly- this coming from a mom of 3 boys under the age of 5!
Alicia, I’m glad you like it. It comes from Evil Mad Scientist Labs. A very cool site.
