Today is the last day to enter the Halloween contest!
Today is the last day to enter the Halloween costume contest to determine what Bargain Babe is going to be for Halloween. This year I’m preggo so I’d like to incorporate my belly into the costume. So far, 80 readers have entered. Here are the most popular ideas so far (bonus points for a joint costume with my husband).
Pumpkin carving ideas are here. If you’re looking for Halloween costume coupons, we’ve got you covered!
Nun and Priest (suggested by Michele Simon, Carrie, Holly, Larissa, Desiree, and many more readers!)
Bun in the Oven and Baker (suggested by Bridgette)
Pumpkin (suggested by Michelle)
Skeleton T-shirt showing my spine and baby’s, pictured above (suggested by Liz and Gloria)
Juno and her dorky boyfriend Paulie Bleeker (suggested by Mvbg and others)
Bacon and Eggs (suggested by Margaret and Marty)
Cat and fish bowl (suggested by N. Davis)
Cross dressing beer gut guy and dolled up lady (costume suggested by Claudia Williams)
Here’s how the contest works:
You suggest your most zany and frugal Halloween costume for me to wear. I’ll prance around town in in the most unusual and fun costume suggested, no matter how silly it is! Plus, I’ll post a picture of me in costume.
Comment with your idea for a Halloween costume by today, Oct. 19, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. EST. That gives me about a week to put the winning 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 a pomegranate? Red IS your color!
You could be a pumpkin and your husband could be the farmer
How about you be a fish bowl with the baby being a fish and your husband could be a cat
I think you both should go as clams, except your clam be open with your belly being the pearl 🙂
I saw a cute idea… as a sushi roll, and you could make a little baby sushi roll
using black suspencers, newspapers, orange and green crepe paper for the ingredients, and blackish green plastic wrap (think dollar store) for the wrapping. you could wear white t shirt and white leggings also. cheap and so chic!
Last year my friend was the kool-aid man. She was the pitcher and then made her stomach red and painted on the face. It was super cute and cheap!
Paint the Earth on your belly and have your hubby dress up like the universe (he wears all black and you can either pin glow in the dark stars or use glow in the dark paint to paint on constellations). Can even make your head up like the sun or the moon :D.
Make your beautiful belly a basketball and hubby a basketball player (can work for other “round ball” type sports as well :)).
mother nature all you need is leafs and a casual dress a dtuffed annimal and hubby can be father time all he needs is a bath robe and a beard
