More fun at the park. The kids tore through 10 Costco pizzas in 45 minutes.
My little ones.
So how much does all of this cost?
Well, we bought 10 Costco pizzas for a total of $108
I spent $71.04 at Kroger buying a case of water bottles, 6 lbs of bananas, 4 discounted scary masks,4 cans of colored hair spray, 4 discounted costumes, 36 glowsticks, 2 boxes of gallon storage bags, and 3 big things of candy.
I also spent $27 at Target buying masks, face tattoos, face paint base, and q-tips,
I've spent about $15 dollars at local thrift stores buying costumes. Spent $30 at a consignment sale buying costumes.
Next year, we'll need to buy pizza, and otherwise have enough from this year returned and remaining to make it another amazing holiday.
