Savvy Savings

If you are looking for ways to save money this Halloween without sacrificing any of the fun or thrills, I have just the solution for your outdoor decorating needs. I call it:

HausFrau's Haunted Horticulture

Go green with this totally recycled backdrop for your next Spooky Shindig. Aluminum tub was saved from a landfill when purchased secondhand at a local Belgian consignment shop. By neglecting summer annuals for months on end, this earthy, crunchy look can easily achieved. Yes, most folks need to look twice to realize that these Boo-tiful Blossoms are really summer zinnias & petunias in disguise! Pumpkins add a perfect splash of color & can later be repurposed into jack-o-lanterns.

By saving beaucoup on my decorating budget, I can now afford to buy massive amounts of candy to eat during the next two weeks while the kids are at school to give to the children at Trunk-or-Treat.
