sustainable tips for a budget friendly Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner, and while the spooky season brings excitement, it can also lead to overspending and waste. This year, why not celebrate in a way that’s both budget-friendly and environmentally conscious? Here are some tips to reduce spending and promote sustainability this Halloween:

1. Rent Costumes Instead of Buying New

Costumes can be one of the biggest expenses during Halloween. Look for options to rent costumes on nabo instead of purchasing new ones. This way, you can wear something unique without the commitment or cost of buying something you'll only use once.

2. Host a Halloween Swap

Organize a costume and decoration swap with your community. Everyone can bring items they no longer use, and you can all leave with something new.

3. Create Homemade Treats

Instead of buying pre-packaged candies, consider making homemade treats. This not only saves money but also allows you to use sustainable ingredients and minimize packaging waste. Plus, homemade goodies can be a fun and creative activity for the whole family!

4. List Your Decorations

Have any decorations that you’re not using? Instead of letting your Halloween decorations gather dust in storage, consider listing them on nabo for others to rent.

5. Join a nabo Community

Connect with local neighbors through nabo to discover community activities and events. Joining a community can help you find free or low-cost Halloween events, like pumpkin carving contests or neighborhood trick-or-treating.

This Halloween, you can celebrate in style without compromising on sustainability or breaking the bank. Celebrate the spooky season in style, connect with your community, and make choices that are good for the planet. Happy Halloween! 🎃
