Coupons and Promo Codes
Search online for Spirit Halloween coupons and promo codes. Websites like RetailMeNot and Coupons.com often feature money-saving offers. Apply these codes during checkout to enjoy instant discounts.
In addition to the coupons you get in your email, you may get some in the mail, too. Spirit Halloween normally distributes these right as the Halloween shopping season ramps up. These coupons can save you up to 25% on a single item.
NOTE: If you are to shop in person at Spirit Halloween, you can only use one coupon or discount code per order. So no coupon stacking! Of course, you could split your purchase and still save by having your friend or spouse use another coupon.
Shopping Online vs. In Store
Shopping online at Spirit Halloween's website can be more budget-friendly than visiting a physical store depending on the distance you have to travel. They sometimes offer online-exclusive deals, and you can take advantage of coupon codes and free shipping offers. Personally, I like that you can shop the sale section - which is something I haven't seen at any of my local stores!
Of course on the flip side, unless you’re spending over $50 and have a coupon, you can count on paying for shipping when shopping online with Spirit Halloween thus making it more expensive to shop online. Plus, you can’t get a refund on them if you decide to return your items. It’s worth a trip into a Spirit Halloween store. You can try your costume on in the fitting room and hopefully avoid returns altogether. Keep in mind their strict return policy. Make sure you have your Halloween costume ideas lined up and ready to go because returns are a hassle.
Shop the Spirit Halloween clearance items
If you can get a clearance costume from the back wall in your store (lucky you since I haven't seen any in my stores!) and use a 20% off Spirit Halloween coupon, you can actually get a pretty good deal. Spirit Halloween store clearance selection is thin, so shop as soon as you can.
TIP: Price tags ending in $0.99 are full price. Before you get all excited and start hunting for all the $0.99 price tags, this is essentially all the merchandise in the store (except for the clearance wall). Spirit Halloween discounts only come with clearance or a Spirit Halloween coupon or coupon code. Price tags ending in $0.97 or $0.98 are clearance. These tags are usually yellow, but I’ve seen them in white, too. For that reason, pay attention to the price tag amount, not the tag color at your Spirit Halloween store.

DIY Costume Ideas
Consider making your costume instead of buying a pre-packaged one. Not only is this often more affordable, but it also allows you to unleash your creativity and create a unique outfit.
TIP: Watch Spirit Halloween video tutorials to learn how to apply makeup and prosthetics! With all of the makeup at Spirit Halloween, wouldn’t it be nice to get some ideas on how to apply it? Makeup tutorials for DIYers are abundant on their website (over 40 videos available). Find out how to apply scary makeup or how to wear makeup and facial prosthetics together.
Price Comparison
Before making a purchase, compare prices at different Spirit Halloween stores or online retailers. Sometimes, items are priced differently depending on location or platform.
Spirit Halloween is more expensive than Walmart and Target when it comes to certain costumes. So if your child wants to be a more common character like Elsa, Bluey, or Minecraft, go with Walmart or Target. Here are a few price comparisons just to show for example:
Minecraft Jumpsuit with Headpiece
Elsa

Return Policy Awareness
Before finalizing your purchase, familiarize yourself with Spirit Halloween's return policy. Knowing the terms and conditions will prevent you from overspending on items that you might return later.
At Spirit Halloween you have 14 days to make a Spirit Halloween return. Even after 14 days, Spirit Halloween won’t refund any shipping fees you pay. The items must be unworn and in resalable condition with original accessories AND you must have the original receipt.
In addition, you can’t return items you buy online in stores, and during Halloween season, your returns have to be postmarked by a specific date. Since the brick-and-mortar stores disappear after Halloween, Spirit Halloween doesn’t offer returns on items purchased after Oct. 31, but the date can vary. In 2022, the date was Oct. 20, and it’s Oct. 23 for 2023. In 2023, you have until Oct. 26 to make exchanges. Refunds are typically issued five to seven business days after the return is made, but in-store returns could only take two to three business days.
Exchanges are accepted from Oct. 23-26, 2023. Aside from a receipt, items for exchange must have the original accessories, in the original packaging, and be in resalable condition. All sales are final after Oct. 26, 2023. Shop early to avoid keeping a costume that you don’t like.
TIP: Costumes run small, so order a size up if you're unsure of the size to go with!
