Halloween Costume Costs Don’t Have to Spook You Out. Canada’s Online Classified Site Used.ca Helps Canadians Save this Year with Used Costumes

Victoria - October 14 2011
Used.ca and its network of local Canadian sites is offering up budget conscious
alternatives to pricey Halloween costumes for trick or treating and Halloween parties. Parents, students
and adults can quickly browse through used costumes to find unique and affordable Halloween outfits
for the 31st.

“Rather than spending full retail price for a costume that will most likely only be worn once, users can
easily check their local UsedEverywhere site for a great Halloween look and save money at the same
time,” says Tish Hill General Manager of Used.ca. “They can also offset the cost by putting
last year’s costume up for sale.”

The Used.ca team checked for Halloween listings on UsedOttawa.com (there are
similar listings on all of the UsedEverywhere local city sites including UsedWinnipeg, UsedVictoria and
UsedRegina). Here are a few examples of used costumes for Halloween.

There are also lots of great items up for grabs to help with Halloween decorations. The UsedEverywhere
blog features free and money saving ideas for Halloween decorations:
