Thrifting Your Halloween Costume at Goodwill: Creative, Affordable, and Fun!
Find Affordable Halloween Costumes at Goodwill
Buying a brand-new costume can cost $50 or more and often ends up packed away after one night. At Goodwill, you can create a complete Halloween look for a fraction of the price. Our stores in Wooster, Orrville, Rittman, Loudonville, and Millersburg are stocked with clothing, accessories, shoes, and even décor that can be transformed into amazing costumes. You’ll save money, shop local, and make a difference in your community, all at once.
Discover Unique and Creative Thrift Store Costume Ideas
Thrifting your Halloween costume is more than shopping—it’s an adventure! Each visit to Goodwill feels like a treasure hunt, filled with inspiration around every corner. You might find a vintage dress perfect for a witch or ghost bride, or a denim jacket that screams 80s rock star. With a little imagination, every thrifted item can become part of a one-of-a-kind look.
Popular thrifted costume ideas include:
-
Classic Favorites: witches, vampires, and pirates.
-
Pop Culture Looks: movie or TV characters made from everyday clothes.
-
DIY Costumes: turn puns or memes into wearable fun.
-
Group Costumes: assemble a full cast using thrifted pieces.
By mixing and matching, you can stand out from the crowd and show off your creativity, all without spending a fortune.
Go Green With a Sustainable Halloween
Choosing a thrifted Halloween costume is also a win for the planet. Instead of buying new, you’re reusing and repurposing items that might otherwise go to waste. Fast fashion and single-use costumes generate tons of waste every year, but shopping at Goodwill keeps great clothing in circulation. Celebrate the spooky season sustainably by making eco-conscious choices that look good and do good.
Accessorize and Decorate for the Season
Your local Goodwill has more than just clothing! Complete your costume with hats, shoes, jewelry, and props or find Halloween décor to get your home ready for trick-or-treaters. You can even shop our fall fashion section for cozy sweaters, scarves, and seasonal styles. Whether you’re dressing up for work, school, or a Halloween party, you’ll find everything you need in one place.
Support Local Impact While You Shop
When you shop at Goodwill Industries of Wayne and Holmes Counties, your purchases do more than help you find the perfect costume, they help people in your community.
