Spruce up your house and outfits with some budget-friendly stores that can fuel your fall fever on a budget. Whether you're after some great fuzzy socks or looking for a sticker collection, these are five good places to score some great deals.

1. Dollar tree

Looking for non-traditional goodies for kids? Stop the search and head to your closest dollar store. They have a variety of cute party supplies and favors that are sure to be a crowd pleaser...or your family whom you have been in quarantine with for seven months.

2. Target

Pumpkin spice and everything nice. Not only do they have that glorious, frugal clearance section up front everyone knows. They also have tasty baking options. Did you know that you can now make a halloween cookie house decorated in candy like you would for christmas? Genius. Don't forget the spice cake mix!

3. Walmart

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. They have a huge selection whether it be the globs of candy you're after, mugs, costumes or festive Halloween leggings, it might be better for your bank account to leave your girlfriend at home for this visit. Surprise her with fresh pumpkin!

4. At Home

This is a one stop shop for those of you who like to go overboard on decorating. They have halloween stuff out as early as July if I remember those days I went out for something other than a drive- thru. Pillows, blankets, and skeletons galore. One of my favorites is a candle that when it melts, looks like it's bleeding.

5. Goodwill

My girlfriend is an avid thrift shopper and she swears by this one. You never know what exactly you'll find but that's part of the fun. Around Halloween time is no exception. They have shirts, costumes, decorations, plates, lights, and even some never used cosmetic products to complete your disguise. Plus if you don't see something in the seasonal section, there is a plethora of unique clothes you can put together for your own costume idea!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
