Frugal Halloween Costumes for Pets!

I decided at work today that I needed to find a Halloween costume to wear to work tomorrow. Nothing like a little procrastination, right? After work today I swung by Goodwill to look for something. I spotted the ugliest housecoat within a minute of walking in the door. I knew it would be mine, and I ended up finding a pair of new slippers to go with it. I’ll buy some new hair rollers and call it a day.
While I was there, I decided to browse the kids’ section. I wanted to buy something for my dogs to wear. We had previously purchased them dog costumes from the store, but they were too small (and cost $10 each!) so we returned them. I was bummed. I found the cutest outfits for each of them, tossed them in my cart, and went up to the register. I asked how much each of them were. $2 each. Score!
I now present to you my cute girl doggies with their frugal Halloween costumes:
Pup #1 is a quarter back for the local football team. She averages 100 yards per game.
Pup #2 is a pretty pretty princess. Don’t let her embarrassment fool you though! She loves to chase after balls, swim in ANY amount of water, and retrieve anything you will throw.
This just goes to show, anyone can benefit from thrifting!
Awwww, I love your black doggie girls and their costumes!! We have three black girls and one caramel colored boy. Your outfit sounds like it will be a lot of fun to wear. I love that you are recycling an outfit and I’m sure it cost a LOT less than a new costume would have cost. Good job!

Thanks!! The bottom one is actually a chocolate lab. She is very dark! I can’t believe you have FOUR labs! I want a yellow lab but I think that would equal divorce.
