Cheap Halloween costumes from Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, B&M and Morrisons
HALLOWEEN won’t be quite the same this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still dress up and get spooky.
To help you get your ghoul on, we’ve rounded up the cheapest costumes currently available for kids with prices starting from £3.99.
We've searched online at shops including B&M and Matalan, as well as the major supermarkets, and many have slashed prices by up to 25% ahead of the spooktacular day.
This year, you'll want to keep an eye on Halloween trick or treat rules in your area as the annual event is being banned in places under lockdown.
This is because interacting with neighbours and friends still counts as mixing - which is against the rules in many places under local restrictions.
And outside of lockdown areas, people will still have to stick by the rule of six, which applies nationwide.
But if you still plan on celebrating at home, here are the cheapest Halloween costumes.
The fire safety label that parents NEED to look for on children’s Halloween costumes
A QUIRK in EU safety regulations means children’s costumes are classed as toys, rather than clothing.
This means they are not subject to the strict flammability standards that regular nightwear or clothing is.
But now flammability measures have been adopted by thousands of retailers after concerns over how quickly a costume can take to ignite.
These robust rules now guarantee costumes will have a maximum burn rate of 10mm per minute, rather than the previous 30mm per minute standard.
It follows campaigns to change the safety rules of fancy dress wear, and after TV presenter Claudia Winkleman's daughter's Halloween outfit went up "like a fireball".
The measures have been introduced as part of a voluntary code of practice for members of the British Retail Consortium.
However, when The Sun investigated last year, we found some kids Halloween costumes still only took three seconds to set alight.
