Last Minute Halloween Deals, Coupons And Free Events Are In Alpharetta, Milton

This is the last weekend before Halloween. If you are not ready or your kids are not ready, this is your last chance to get it done. Whether you go to the big stores for a costume that is complete in a bag or buy individual pieces to create your own, plan ahead as much as you can.

Expect long lines at party and costume stores. Stores like Target and Walmart will be crowded and based on previous years, probably a chaotic mess as parents and kids dig through costumes and accessories. Those who arrive early in the morning probably have the best chance of avoiding the last minute panic at these big stores.

Creating your own costume can also be easy and fun for families to do together. Get creative and save money too!

Here are the best coupons that I have found for your last minute Halloween shopping.
