TIMES are tough so don’t pump up your spending this Halloween.
Follow our 13 top hacks so you can celebrate spooky season for a Hallo-weeny price.
SQUASH YOUR SPEND: Pick the right pumpkin for your budget. A monster one will set you back around £3, a large one is about £1.65 but a standard size is roughly 80p. Three standard-size pumpkins might well look more spook-tacular than just one large one – and save you cash too.
CUT-OUTS WON’T KEEP: Once carved, pumpkins last just three to five days before they start to rot. So wait until a day or two before Halloween to carve yours, to ensure you won’t have to buy a replacement.
