Shop Goodwill® for Affordable Halloween Costumes and Decorations
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) October 24, 2013 -- Families can make their budgets go further by shopping at Goodwill stores this Halloween. At Goodwill, customers can find plenty of items to create affordable, one-of-a-kind costumes or find the accessories needed to set their costumes apart from the crowd.
When consumers purchase pre-packaged costumes, they run the risk of having the same costume as someone else. At Goodwill, however, they can find fresh items every day that can be made into unique costumes such as princess dresses, cowboy attire, clothing from different eras, and many more. Among the most popular costumes at Goodwill stores this year:
• Zombies, including zombie brides.
• TV show inspired costumes such as characters from Downton Abbey, Duck Dynasty and Game of Thrones.
• Cowboys and western gear.
• Pirates, witches, vampires, angels and devils for adults and superhero and princess costumes for kids.
Anyone with a mind for creativity can find a great deal on Halloween costumes and décor at Goodwill, where new items are hitting the shelves daily. The more than 2,700 Goodwill stores across the United States and Canada are full of everything you need this Halloween.
“In addition to saving money, customers can take pride in knowing their Goodwill purchase provides employment, career and community training programs to millions of people each year,” said Jim Gibbons, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International. “Goodwill trains people to work in Goodwill stores and in growing industries outside of Goodwill, such as green construction and health care.”
Goodwill delivers the value that people are looking for when they shop for Halloween. Shoppers not only get unique Halloween looks for less, their purchases fulfill Goodwill’s mission of helping people reach their full potential through education and the power of work.
