How to plan a budget friendly Halloween party
What’s not to love about a Halloween gathering? It’s a perfect time to gather adults and children. It’s not only OK to be a bit goofy, it’s encouraged. And decorating your home – and feeding those guests – doesn’t have to break the bank.
Make mealtime simple by ordering a pizza or making a quick chili. And décor? It won’t cost much at all to scare up the perfect look.
