Halloween may still be a month away, but for many parents of little ones you'll know that it is one of those holidays that you'll need to plan a bit earlier for.
Whether they are heading out Trick or Treating, or have a spooky themed school disco, the chances are your children will still be wanting to dress up this year.
And with families grappling with rising prices due to the soaring cost of living crisis, it is understandable why so many will be looking to get their little one an outfit that is both affordable and spooky. Luckily, quite a few major places have come to parents rescue with a range of kids Halloween costumes that you can pick up on your next shopping trip - and they won't break the bank.
