Green Halloween Costume Swap - powered by Tradepal
This year, Halloween falls on a Friday and Americans are expected to spend a whopping $2.8 billion on costumes. To break it down, consumers will spend $1 billion on children’s costumes, $1.4 billion on adult costumes and about $350 million to outfit their pets. The estimated overall cash outlay including candy, decor and costumes will amount to about $77.52 per person, or $20.00 per pet.
Tradepal invites campuses to celebrate with a Green Halloween Costume Swap. Go green this Halloween by keeping the cash in your pocket and join in the fun with a campus swap.
