For those still searching for a costume, stores like the Halloween Costume Warehouse at the Outlet Mall in San Marcos has a lot to offer.
SU: Here you can find a variety of costumes with prices ranging from 29-99 to 49-99.
Store-bought costumes can be expensive, but Manager Abbey Miers says the slow economy hasn't affected business.
SB: People are always willing to spend money on that one day of the year for Halloween just to have a good costume.
For those who want to spend less, Goodwill is an alternative for the bargain costume shopper.
SU: Here at goodwill the prices are low, even as low as 2.99 but you might need to be creative.
Mother of two, Vanessa Bermudez says she doesn't mind looking through the racks or altering costumes if it will save her a little money.
SB: although these are two different costumes I'm going to be taking apart at least I don't have to spend money on one and my son is only six months old he will grow out of it….and this way I can make it look the way I want it to look.
Whether you're a goblin, witch, or vampire, either store has plenty of options for the last minute shopper. For Bobcat Update, I'm Summer Ratliff.
