Poundland shoppers go totally wild over their new Halloween range as we hit October – and prices start from just 50p
OCTOBER has officially arrived which means only one thing – Halloween is just around the corner.
With prices sky-rocketing, many cash-strapped parents are looking for purse-friendly ways to celebrate the spooky occasion with their little ones – or perhaps to throw a party.
With snacks, decorations – and of course, costumes – to consider, Halloween can quickly become a rather pricey holiday to look forward to.
Luckily, with the celebration just a few weeks away, the high street discount retailer Poundland has come to rescue with an array of affordable bargains.
From scary outfits the kids are sure to love to sweet treats and adorable kitchenware, the popular store is offering all the essentials you’d need.
And with prices starting from under a quid, there’s a reason the total steals have become a major hit on social media already.
Fans of the retailer have been taking to Poundland Appreciation Society on Facebook to show off just some of their top picks – and the options are practically endless, with all the must-haves covered.
Foodies are spoilt for choice – there’s plenty of sugary candies and even Halloween chocolates for all the little trick-or-treaters going on the hunt around the local neighbourhood.
Whilst some of the sweets sell for a mere 50p, the majority of the goodies spotted in the aisle are £1 – or £2 for the most expensive pumpkin-shaped treats.
No trick-or-treating is complete without Halloween costumes – and Poundland hasn’t forgotten about that either.
Money-smart shoppers can get their hands on face paint for just £2 for a pack containing several zombie-fitting colours, a pumpkin bag to store all the treats in for £1.50, as well as a fiery red dragon mask for £1.
According to one customer, Stacey Ann Hutchins, Halloween super fans can also purchase a spooky clown mask for £2, a black wig for £2.50 – and more.
If you’re hosting a party – either for your pals or your kids – there are also numerous essentials, ranging from paper plates and trays with spook-tacular designs for 80p.
Other decorations to snap up next time you’re visiting the store include a 3D hanging paper chandelier for £1.25, black balloons covered in spider web and spooky shapes to stick up by your window for a pound.
Are you a fan of gonks – but want to give the little creatures a spooky twist? Then best race to Poundland, as they’re offering Halloween-themed mini gonks for £2 to £3 each.
Meanwhile, in the dinnerware section customers can find adorable ghost mugs to enjoy their brew in for £4, as well as glass tumblers with a skull for £3.
The discount retailer has also sent shoppers into a frenzy with their extremely cute spooky night pyjamas in orange.
Going for £2 for the top and £3 for the bottoms, the nightwear essential is too good to be slept on – and will keep your tot cosy during bedtime.
Sharing snaps of the bargains she’d spotted on the shelves, another customer, Margaret Rouzet, said: ”Now I’m not really big on Halloween, but oh my how cute are the Ghost/Witch jars and cups?
”Definitely getting a few of these.”
