Waste Not. Want not: Scary cheap

Happy Halloween

Say hello to Scarecrow Barbie? 🤔

It’s hard not to get pulled into the fun that is Halloween. People spend a lot of money on Halloween costumes. Not this cheapskate. This costume cost me $2.00 because I had most of it. I bought batteries for the raven on my shoulder. Only used 2 out of the pack. And the ‘caution:haunted’ tape around my body and hat.

My lawn-mowing hat.
An old work shirt. Love it. It has been around. As you can see from this picture, even the hanger has been saved from the junk pile. 😉
A young lady asked me, “did a bird use the bathroom on you?” “Yes, it did.” I guess my attempt at replicating bird poo worked.
Tried to paint weeds that are in full bloom right now on our roadsides.
A young man asked me if this leaf was real? “Yes. I picked it up out of my yard.” “WOW!” He replied. “You grow big leaves.”
Head and ankle bands.

I wore this to our ‘Boo on Main’ Saturday. Boy howdy did I get the looks. I scared on little boy. He started crying. 😢 Another boy about 10, asked if he could take his picture with me. And a little fellow about 4 wanted a hug. 🥰 And I was asked if the corn for the corncob pipe was real? Yes, we ate it for dinner. 🌽 It was delicious too.
