Dress for Halloween with No Money and No Effort

Spending as little money as possible at Halloween is always a great goal.  However, sometimes it can be tough doing just that.  How can you have a creative costume without much money?  Even better, how can you create a costume without putting much effort into it?

The simple answer is: create a '90s Gen X outfit this year for Halloween.  I know what you are thinking... the '80s were so much more fun!  Well, sure they were.  They were also more expensive.  People took the time to have nice hair and cute outfits.  If you are broke, you need to go with a grunge look.  Since you are broke, you will also not have a tough time looking bummed out or full of angst.  You are probably already feeling that way, except unlike the 1990s, your feelings are now totally justified.  Dealing with this economy will bring anyone down!
