What should baby Bargain Babe dress up as for Halloween this year? There is still time to suggest an idea to win! We will take the best idea and that is what Lucy will dress up as for Halloween!! So far…
Vanessa suggested:
Scarecrow: Use an old flannel shirt with holes in it, old ragged jeans, and a straw hat, and then tie or stitch a bit of decorative straw-colored raffia to the shirt and pants openings.
Mummy: Attach ragged strips of cloth ripped from an old white sheet to a white T-shirt and pants. Or wrap the child lightly in surgical gauze if you find some on sale or at the dollar store.
Jennifer says:
Oooh”¦ Maybe use these items from your list:
Small yellow, fuzzy basket with the face of a baby chick on it
Purple and white tutu
Pink ballet slippers with matching tutuAnd dress her up as a cute little Easter Bunny for Halloween
The outfit part could easily be a fuzzy fleece pajama set, and it’s not too difficult to sew a bonnet with bunny ears (or use a hat that stays on and add ears to that!)
Diane has a wicked idea:
Borrowing from Michele Simon’s idea from last year, you and your husband could be the pregnant nun and priest, respectively, and you could dress Lucy in a cute devil costume.
EllieD shares this one:
For one of our neighborhood Halloween kids’ parades, a couple dressed as chefs and dressed their wee one as a little lobster, which they carried in an outsized cooking pot! It was absolutely adorable, simple to do, and won a prize! Plus they didn’t have to worry about the wee one crawling all over the place! Another family dressed as pirates”¦ very cute.

The contest ends October 24, 2012, which gives me a week to pull the costume together.

Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
How about dressing up as a baby?
You could dress Lucy all in black and fill 6 black knee-high socks with stuffing (paper or whatever) and attach the legs to Lucy to make Lucy a spider. You can dress in all white and use black electrical tape to make lines for a web on your white outfit (you would be a spider web).
I think you should design a costume to look like a COUPON and dress her in that. But make sure that it says something very special on the front and back of the coupon.
Lucy looks absolutely adorable in what she’s wearing in the picture at the top of this page. She just gets cuter and cuter!!!
I think that Lucy would look adorable as a pumpkin….*s*
Lucy could be a bargain baby dressed retro with a hat and a bag that says “I drool over bargains”.
