Savvy shoppers are always looking for a good bargain, but sometimes it might be worth our while to pay full price.
If you’re trying to save a few bucks, you might be tempted to find a knockoff Halloween costume this year. These off-brand options are very similar to their licensed counterparts, but they’re just slightly off. You can tell immediately that they’re knockoffs, and not just because the quality of the costume is almost definitely not as good as the licensed version. Nope, you can tell because since they’re not licensed, they’re not allowed to use the real name of the characters. So they get… creative!
Show me your favorite knock-off Halloween costume. Right now, I'm team "Notionless" because the designer wanted to get to lunch and hit the thesaurus pic.twitter.com/Dm7omvckuz
