News story on drive into work. The average household spends $280 on Halloween decorations. Excuse me??? I mean like Wow. A pumpkin $4.00 maybe $5.00. I already have carving kit if not there are plenty of knives and kitchen skewers to use at my place. Okay, bag of candy or two $5.00. Candles - tons of those no need to fork out cash for any. So I am spending maybe $15.00 tops. That means someone else is spending my other $265.00 along with their $280 - over $500!!
Confess which of my five readers is spending that kind of money???

So far I have not spent a dime. I have tea light candles, and I'll make skull lanterns out of plastic milk bottles. Must be someone else spending all our money.
ReplyDeleteSee you next week!
T and I recently drove past a house that had orange lights in the window. He said, "It's too early for Christmas lights." He had a really hard time grasping the idea of Halloween lights.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, we are non-decorators. We're the people who turn off the lights and stay in a back room until trick or treating is over.
