Costume Discounters - a review


    It's getting close to that time where kids are starting to think about what they want to dress up as for Halloween and we as parents are doing our preparations. Costume Discounters is a great place to get all your costumes in one place at a really great price. I don't like shopping at department stores because usually they don't have what we are looking for because we usually do a group trick or treating with corresponding costumes. This year I am cheating though. Also, I don't like the quality of the costumes you can find at the popular department stores. They are usually very thin and stretchy so they look bulky and weird when you layer the kids underneath but they are not warm enough if you don't.


   We browsed around at Costume Discounters and since the youngest had a cowardly lion costume already, Spaz wanted to be a tiger. So we searched out tiger costumes and found the Gold Tiger Club Costume. I thought it was adorable and Spaz loved it the minute he saw it. When we got it the next week, it had to be tried on first thing. I have to say... I am super happy with this! Not only is it just as adorable as it showed online but its great quality and will easily fit layers underneath and be warm. I love the feet. They have an elastic so it goes right under the shoes he will be wearing but it covers well so they look like puffy tiger feet. I wouldn't find that at the store.


   This tiger costume can be found at Costume Discounters in their Toddler Halloween Costumes section. It is a two piece. The head that attaches with velcro under the chin and the body suit with the tale and feet covers. The head is a stuffed tiger head that sits on top and the costume is made of polyester. To care for this costume you need to hand wash and lay flat to dry. I don't recommend it but I have always washed in my washer with a gentle cycle and hang dry. I have a nub instead of a big agitator so I have never had a problem.


   This costume can be bought for $26.97 and they will do free shipping on orders $60 or more. Which is great if you buy for multiple kids or for yourself too. Costume Discounters also guarantees the lowest price. If you find a price lower then theirs on the web, they will match that price plus take an additional 20% off! They also offer free exchanges so your satisfaction is important. If I was to buy something similar at a department store, I could probably spend $40-$50 easily. With all the birthdays we celebrate in my family at the end of the year along with all the holidays, this makes it easier for my kids to enjoy Halloween. Otherwise I would be hand making them like in years past and although it can be fun, it causes a lot of stress too!
   What costume do you like from Costume Discounters?
