Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, which means more time for trick-or-treating, more parties to get through and, for parents, pressure to get the costume right.
That said, just because your kids may want to dress up for spooky season doesn’t mean you need to spend a small fortune, or pay for speedy delivery.
Some of the best-value kids’ costumes are in supermarkets, and this year, they’ve pulled out all the stops.
Tu at Sainsbury’s, George at Asda, F&F at Tesco and M&S have extensive Halloween ranges that cover everything from wizards and witches to K-pop Demon Hunters and Disney favourites.
There are also adorable skeleton baby grows and pumpkin two-pieces for little ones who can’t quite walk yet but can still join in all the fun.
Best of all, prices are low, with plenty of head-to-toe costumes for less than £15, available from newborns to 12, so you can kit out their siblings in one go.
To save you trawling through the aisles and pages of options online, we’ve rounded up the best kids’ Halloween costumes from Sainsbury’s, M&S, Asda and Tesco this year.
Whether your little one wants to be terrifying, adorable or somewhere in between, there’s something here to suit every budget.
