10 Lazy DIY Halloween Costumes For You And Your Broke Best Friend

There's a lot to love about Halloween, from the parties and the fun times with your closest friends, to candy sales and spooky cocktails. But, has anyone else noticed that Halloween can also be hella expensive? Most holidays drain our bank accounts, but when all you want to do is wear a costume you feel amazing in and live it up with your besties, the idea of dishing out a ton of cash totally brings down the mood. Not to mention, putting costumes together is so much work. So obviously, you and your broke BFF turn to lazy DIY Halloween costumes.

But, let's get real here; more often than not, DIY really just translates to, "this is actually a lot of work" and, "this takes much more talent than perseverance." You and your best friend so do not have enough time to spend a few days constructing the perfect costume. Major props to all of the amazing DIY-ers out there, but most of us aren't that dedicated.
