Disclaimer: Thanks to Savers, I got to go play at my favorite thrift store for an afternoon. Although I’ve been compensated for my post, all thoughts, opinions, and incredible costume stylings are entirely my own.

It’s no secret that I love thrift shops. And- like I’ve gushed before– I love Savers thrift shops. (If you ask me whether it’s because they work with nonprofits, recycle unsold clothing (or donate them to developing countries!) …or if it’s because their stock is always in faboo condition and makes me look rather cute, I would not be able to choose.)
So when my friends at Savers asked me to help spread the word about how great it is to #thriftortreat with them, you could say I was a tad excited. Between their brand new, specially-for-Savers Halloween costume items (branded Alterego), their shelves of spooky, glittery decor, and their racks of gently used Halloween gear, there was SO MUCH GREAT STUFF. (Chicagoans: I went to the store in Niles, but there’s a nifty one in Franklin Park, too.)
Here’s a smattering of what I found:
I offered this grape suit to literally everyone in my family (and even some random shoppers at the store). No takers. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. It’s a suit of puffy grapes. I don’t even understand America anymore.
Here’s what Miss Buttercup chose as her sweet gear. It makes so much sense. Hey there, Cheer Bear!
Can you tell what P.J. is planning for Trick-or-Treat? (Hint: His pint-sized companion will be rocking a puffy orange vest and a futuristic skateboard. Okay, maybe not so much that last prop. The Cubs winning would be a great prop.)
And as for me? I’m gonna be a wicked witch.
First wiseacre to say I don’t need a costume is outta the pool.
(Also, anyone looking for hair glitter and colorful hairsprays is sorta out of luck- I bought it all. I bought it ALL.)
